Exactly!

Thanks rednoah ! It was actually quite stupid. When launched form Transmission, the script could not find filebot. I just at to specify the exact location, in my case

Why are you passing in your entire filesystem / to filebot for processing?

You'll get that response if you run the transmission-postprocess manually.
If you want to test your code, replace the input path from this
Code: Select all
"ut_dir=$TR_TORRENT_DIR/$TR_TORRENT_NAME" "ut_kind=multi" "ut_title=$TR_TORRENT_NAME"
to the input path of the media you want to process (e.g. /Volumes/PC/Downloads)
Sorry if that it is nonsense, I am learning too.

Sorry to piggy back on this. I might have the same issue: if I wan to run AMC on existing folders of media, I would specify the input path /Volumes/Media/Movies in place of all three ut parameters? in quotes? "/Volumes/Media/Movies" ?
And if I wanted it to rename right then and there, i would just leave out the copy parameter? OR should I leave it and change it to 'move' to give it a separate target directory.
many thanks for any advice!

Running from cmdline is documented in the manual:
viewtopic.php?f=4&t=215
If you don't set
--def excludeList you will get banned. See docs for details.

Looks like it's gonna be pretty much exactly the same as on Windows. So what's the problem? What have you tried? What's not working?
Since there is no tutorial yet, you might as well try figure it out and then write one!

I swore I was not going to be another A**hole who didn't read the manual/faq, search other posts etc. before posting. I have studied that page multiple times, and still I missed the --input flag.
I apologize, and thanks for all your hard work. Donation just made.

There is no --input parameter, and --output is on every single example.

I think I will self-enforce anyway. The more I realize how insanely genius your software is.
OK so I'm almost there, if I can prevail upon your help, I will gladly donate more. Here's what I'm running (this is my existing libraries)
filebot -script fn:amc --output /Volumes/Smedens/TV --log-file amc.log --action move --conflict override -non-strict --def deleteAfterExtract=y artwork=y subtitles=en clean=y backdrops=y --def myepisodes=****:****** "movieFormat=/Volumes/Smedens/Movies/{n} ({y})/{n} ({y}) [{certification}]" plex=CountryManse clean=y /Volumes/Smedens/Smedens\ TV --def excludeList=amcsmedens-input.txt
1) clean=y still leaves behind empty folders. Not the biggest deal, but wondering if I'm doing something wrong or clean is just missing them
2) I have been dutifully using def excludeList to not get banned (though I'm not sure from whom or where). However, as I'm fine tuning my setup I am having to run things a few times. When I've got it right, how do i erase the exclusion list to start fresh and process all my files once and for all, without receiving many beatings and lashings?
3) I signed up for myepisodes, and the script appear to have run that paremeter correctly (used hash for my pw) but when I log in I don't see any record of my episodes. Is that not how its supposed to work?
VIELEN DANK FÜR ALLES!

1.
It shouldn't. Most likely some left over files (that are not on the blacklist) prevent things from being deleted.
@see
http://www.filebot.net/forums/viewtopic ... &t=5#p1341
2.
You can use --action test for testing. FileBot is heavily caching data, so you can use it without exclude list safely for 24h hours, especially if you're only running it on a few files. Only if you repeatedly processes the same data, and repeatedly (every day for multiple days in a row) fetch the same data, you will get banned, by the various databases.
3.
MyEpisodes is not well supported, and support may be removed if the scraper breaks again. As far as I know it works, but if it broke, then it's broken for good and "wont fix".

How to use this script with Mac App Store version of FileBot (there doesn't seem to be any other verison for Mac anymore)?
There's no /Applications/Filebot.app/Contents/MacOS/filebot file in the MAS version, so I modified it to /Applications/Filebot.app/Contents/MacOS/FileBotAppLauncher, but it still doesn't work (it just opens the FileBot UI). There's also no AMC log in myhome/.filebot.
what to do? Thanks!

cmdline tools are not allowed in the Mac App Store. You can use brew cask for installing the filebot cmdline tool instead.

Thanks, done that. Now, I presume I need to modify the transmission-postprocess script somehow. Can you tell me how?
Thanks!
EDIT: nevermind, I pointed it to /opt/whatever/filebot.sh and the script now seems to work

I don't know when
/Applications/Filebot.app/Contents/filebot.sh got a thing, but that's a pretty stupid way to call a cmdline tool. It's just
filebot in all the examples because it literally is just
filebot. You call filebot by calling
filebot. Like exactly any single one of my examples, and it works the same on all platforms. That's how cmdline tools work.

Hey all, I feel like I'm getting closer to having this script run from Transmission on a Mac but I'm still not quite there.
EDIT: SOMEHOW NOW WORKING. REJOICE. But will leave this here for posterity and add a footnote with the now-working code...
Basically, I can run Filebot via CLI and it finds episodes/renames/works brilliantly. However, if I create a bash script as detailed in this thread and set Transmission to run it upon completed download, I either get:
Code: Select all
Failure (°_°)
Conflicting arguments: pass in either file arguments or ut_dir/ut_file parameters but not both
(I have NO idea what this means because that's how we're told to do it in the guide...!!)
OR
Code: Select all
Exclude: /Users/peanutismint/Downloads/whateverfile.mp4
No files selected for processing
Failure (°_°)
(which I think happens when I tried to remove the '"ut_dir=$TR_TORRENT_DIR/$TR_TORRENT_NAME"' etc that I believed caused the first error....
My script is pretty much as described in this thread and looks like this:
Code: Select all
#!/bin/bash
/Applications/FileBot.app/Contents/MacOS/filebot.sh -script fn:amc \
--output "/Users/peanutismint/Downloads" \
--log-file "/Users/peanutismint/Documents/Scripts/amc.log" \
--action copy \
--conflict override -non-strict \
--def artwork=y "ut_dir=$TR_TORRENT_DIR/$TR_TORRENT_NAME" "ut_kind=multi" "ut_title=$TR_TORRENT_NAME"
(I do VERY little coding so I hope I'm using those escapes correctly....!!)
I've updated latest versions of Java/Filebot via CLI as described on that guide page. Anybody know what I'm doing wrong?
EDIT: THE WORKING CODE!
I don't think I changed much - it just randomly started working... Perhaps I was experiencing a server-side error? Anyway, code pretty much the same but I edited slightly so that Filebot just renames my files in place without downloading artwork or creating extra folders etc...
Code: Select all
#!/bin/bash
/Applications/FileBot.app/Contents/MacOS/filebot.sh -script fn:amc \
--output "/Users/Peanut/Downloads" \
--log-file "/Users/Peanut/Documents/Scripts/amc.log" \
--action rename \
--conflict override -non-strict \
--def artwork=n "ut_dir=$TR_TORRENT_DIR/$TR_TORRENT_NAME" "ut_kind=multi"

It 'got [to be] a thing' because 'just Filebot' doesn't work under OS X
Although you'll probably say it DOES work, we're just not doing it right because we're all obviously dumb....!!

Using --action rename is a really really bad idea. Use copy/duplicate like everyone else, and don't mess with seeding.

Been a while since I could get back to this. Thanks again for all your help. Re: the below
1. i will use hazel to get rid of small leftover folders/files
2. --action test is hugely helpful.
3. MyEpisodes unimportant, just more complications!
so i'm almost there: I've found that for the types of files I have, often obscure and badly named, amc misidentifies tv vs movie too often, so I've set hazel rules to do that initial triage. Then I have two amc scripts run on those two folders, one that forces --def ut label tv, the other forces movie. This works much better, getting very close.
The last bit that seems to be the cause of mismatches is the "Group" command which I can't figure out how it works or how to disable it. But it recently did this:
Group: [tvs:american horror story] => [American.Horror.Story.S04E07.HDTV.x264-KILLERS.eng.srt, American.Horror.Story.S04E07.HDTV.x264-KILLERS.mp4, ESPN The Marinovich Project.mp4, Red Hot Chili Peppers - Behind The Music VH1 2002.mpg]
any idea how to rectify that? Now that I am forcing TV and movies, is Group still important?
More donation coming your way.

There is no "Group" command. It's part of the logic that's trying to make sense of files, and the output is simply debugging output. In your case it'll probably lead to complications if you have badly named files of different types all in the same folder and process it all in the same run.
Remember that amc is supposed to run on completed downloads, where one can assume that the files passed in logically belong together.
