series

A small script to help me remember were I left off playing alphabetically correct ordered media files.

Idea

The idea is to have a symlink which is updated each time a clip is played until the end. Then it points to the next Episode.

Configuration

The path containing the media can be set via the SERIES_SRC_PATH environment variable. The path for keeping the symlinks (the current file to be watched) can be set via the SERIES_LINK_PATH environment variable. If SERIES_LINK_PATH is not set the symlinks are kept in the folder of the series and will point to a relative path. If SERIES_LINK_PATH is set the symlink points to an absolute path.
