Watcher help please

Good afternoon!
I just got my first seedbox. I've always used utorrent locally before that, and had it run the following code which worked PERFECTLY after downloads completed:

filebot -script fn:amc --output "d:\output" --log-file amc.log --action copy --conflict override -non-strict --def "seriesFormat=d:\tv shows\{n}\Season {s.pad(2)}\{n} - {s00e00} - {t}" "movieFormat=C:/Movies/{n} {y}/{fn}" music=y subtitles=en artwork=y "ut_label=%L" "ut_state=%S" "ut_title=%N" "ut_kind=%K" "ut_file=%F" "ut_dir=%D"

But now that I am ftp'ing from my seedbox to a local folder, I am having the hardest time getting the same functionality without using utorrent! I have been trying for hours to set up a way for filebot to automatically monitor my local folder and organize my newly downloaded tvshows and movies the exact same way utorrent used to do it.

I've searched the forums and can't find anything, so I'm sorry if the answer is out there plain as day, but I just can't find it. Can anyone help?
Thanks!

There's many many ways to achieve monitoring. If you're using the amc script it's best to just repeatedly run it on the same folder repeatedly (with excludeList set!!!) or only for newly added files (the exact monitoring solution is up to you).

Though if you're running a server with rTorrent you're probably looking for this:

Thanks Rednoah. I appreciate the help, but the amc script is kinda confusing for someone like me with limited scripting knowledge. Is there a tutorial out there or a document that shows which variables need to be changed to get it to work on my machine?

[spacedog]

Or better still, is there a way to turn the utorrent command into a batch file for a local folder instead of utorrent?

[rednoah]

That use-case is well documented in the Run from cmdline section and by generally reading and understanding the docs.

It's quite easy if you have a basic understanding of cmd and how cmdline tools work. I'm sure you'll figure it out if play with it a little while.

And make absolutely sure you don't always reprocess everything if you call it repeatedly on the same folder.

[spacedog]

Thanks, I'll keep trying

OK I got it working, but it will ONLY move the formatted files to one directory. I need to set it up so that it sends movies to C:/movies and TV Shows to d:/tvshows. Two different drives. Can someone tell me where to put this argument in? I can't for the life of me find a place to put separate output directories for movies and tv shows.

[rednoah]

Change how files will be organized and renamed:

Relative paths will be resolved against --output and you can use absolute paths if you want to use multiple drives.

@see viewtopic.php?f=4&t=215

[spacedog]

It Just Ignores my drive and puts the renamed file in the source folder. See below:

// filebot -script "fn:amc" --action copy --conflict override


// log input parameters
_def.each{ n, v -> log.finer('Parameter: ' + [n, n =~ /pushover|pushbullet|mail|myepisodes/ ? '*****' : v].join(' = ')) }
args.each{ log.finer("Argument: $it") }


// initialize variables

def skipExtract = tryQuietly{ skipExtract.toBoolean() }

def excludeList = tryQuietly{ (excludeList as File).isAbsolute() ? (excludeList as File) : new File(_args.output ?: '.', excludeList).getCanonicalFile() }

I have no idea what you're doing. Did you just copy & paste a few cmdline arguments into a copy of the amc script????

You cannot edit the amc script. The manual clearly shows you how you can add additional arguments to the amc script cmdline call to override the default format expression with your own absolute path.

I recommend that you use the GUI. If you want to use the CLI you will need to learn a few basics first.

[spacedog]

OK. I started over and everything is fine. I have been unable to find this "manual" you've been speaking of. Thanks for your help. Its a great piece of software!

[rednoah]

The manual / tutorial / guide / documentation should be all you need:
