Project pyCountVids - Python Script To Count Total Videos in a Directory

So, I've started working on my long awaited project by implementing it in small increments. First, I've decided to write a python script that counts total videos in a directory and its sub-directory.

#!/usr/bin/env python2

import os
import sys

rootDir = sys.argv[1]
totalVideoCounter = 0
videoExtension = [".3g2", ".3gp", ".asf", ".asx", ".avi", ".flv", \
                        ".m2ts", ".mkv", ".mov", ".mp4", ".mpg", ".mpeg", \
                        ".rm", ".swf", ".vob", ".wmv", "m4v"]
for dirPath, subdirList, fileList in os.walk(rootDir,topdown=False):
    dirName = dirPath.split(os.path.sep)[-1]
    videoCounter = 0
 
 
    for fname in fileList:
      if fname.endswith(tuple(videoExtension)):
            videoCounter +=1
            totalVideoCounter +=1
    if (videoCounter > 0):
        print('Found directory: %s' %dirName )
        print('Total videos found: %i' %videoCounter)
        
This script can be run by typing in the following command:

 $ ./list-videos.py ~/Videos/Movies/

This will list the total videos in sub-directory and videos lying outside sub-directories but inside the main directory.

This script is pretty self-explanatory and can be better understood by just googling.

Hope it comes useful to anyone looking for such script.

Ciao.
