AFAIK, the amc script does download subtitles for all files, regardless of embedded subtitles. Hence I'd like to see the logs as to confirm exactly what it is and what it is not doing.

Are we talking about embedded subtitles that are embedded in the media file? Or subtitle files in the same directory that have the same name as the media file?


embedded subtitles ≠ subtitle files in the same directory


1.
FileBot will not download subtitle files, if subtitle files already exist, i.e. it will not override existing subtitle files by downloading new subtitle files.


2.
FileBot is completely oblivious of whether or not a given media file already contains embedded subtitles.

That looks like pieces of the output of the suball script.

You never once even hinted at using the suball script, even though I asked you repeatedly to share the commands and logs.

The suball script is well documented here in the forums.

* I conveniently neglected to include a link for said documentation. Missing information is a bitch, eh?

The text ignore language option is a regular expression.

The default .* matches every language code. You can use something like "none" and that text pattern won't match any language code and thus no files will be ignored for embedded subtitles.

Didn't I just explain the solution in my previous post?

Here's a solution that you can just copy & paste:

Code: Select all

filebot -script fn:suball /path/to/media -non-strict --def maxAgeDays=7 ignoreTextLanguage=none

Since I gave you a copy & paste solution, you're now honour-bound to purchase FileBot on the Windows Store (if you haven't done so already, you neglected that piece of information as well) or make a donation. Cheers!

This one is not officially supported... but setting this magic option might make it work the way you want:

Code: Select all

--format MATCH_VIDEO
