[Solved] Script is doing nothing on Transmission complete

[Sodden]

Hi,

I struggling really hard to get my filebot script to work with transmission, but it's just not working.

Here is my script.

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh
/usr/share/filebot/bin/filebot.sh -script fn:amc --output "/media/afa5342b-7ff6-41a3-aef2-3c7f6af3e34a/Videos" --log-file amc.log --action copy --conflict override -non-strict --def artwork=y --def "animeFormat=Anime/{primaryTitle}/{primaryTitle} - {e} - {t} [{group}]({crc32})" "seriesFormat=Serien/{n}/Season {s}/{n} - {s00e00} - {t}" "ut_dir=$TR_TORRENT_DIR/$TR_TORRENT_NAME" "ut_kind=multi" "ut_title=$TR_TORRENT_NAME" 2> /var/log/filebot-error.log 1> /var/log/filebot.log

Permissions on the script look like this.

Code: Select all

-rwxrwxr-x+ 1 Sodden users 668 May  2 19:52 /media/e00265a2-efd6-4bd2-84ef-d60a6ea09f5d///Sodden/scripts/filebot.sh

But it does nothing, no output at all in any log. So I tried running the script manually.

Calling the script with manual variables.

I've been working on this for 5 hours now and haven't got the slights clue where it hangs, I've quadruple check EVERYTHING. Maybe it's just some stupid typo but I'm not seeing it or I'm just doing it completely wrong. I hope you guys can help cause I'm starting to freak the F out.

[rednoah]

Have you made absolutely sure that you're script is called by transmission? Like dumping the variables and see?

Your call can't work because you pass an illegal path. Which of course results in empty input. You can't do. "..." Literal and then escape blanks. You're just passing in the \ literally in your call.

[Sodden]

You're right. Transmission may be saying it's calling the script but it isn't. I tried a basic script with an

Code: Select all

 echo "You shall not pass!" > /tmp/test.txt

and it did nothing, no file under /tmp. Permissions are 777 so it sould work, it is working from terminal thats for sure. Maybe my transmission install went bonkers an some update or something, I'll ask some people who are running the same software as I to try it out.

[Sodden]

Okay I've got transmission to the execute the script. Now I'm getting this output

Why is there an exclude at the end ? I've not defined any filters.

edit: Do I have to use an absolute path for animeFormat/seriesFormat ?

[rednoah]

I'd be more worried about filebot not being allowed access to it's own home folder... which is very bad.

No idea why a file would be excluded. Maybe too small? Maybe too short? See manual for default minimum settings.

Okay it's working now. Thanks for the tips.
Turns out shares on my system are automatically mounted "noexec", which explains why no script worked at first. Moving them to the system root solved that.
Next thing was that the script was first created with notepad++ on a windows machine and it somehow screwed the file up so it couldn't be executed. Fixed by using nano on the server for script creation.
Last thing was the user calling the script is the one running the transmission daemon, debian-transmission in this case. Said user had no /home folder. And since filebot is only creating $HOME/.filebot/* so the call resulted in an error like above.

I seem to be having the exact same issue, a filebot script called by transmission-deamon fails to create cache files. How did you resolve the issue?

My error:

[rednoah]

FYI your $HOME variable is empty!!! Of course FileBot isn't allowed to create a folder in in the filesystem root.

So fix $HOME and fix the permissions so the deluge-daemon user has full access to the .filebot folder.

[AubeRoseau]

I have the same problem. How can I fix $HOME????

[rednoah]

That depends on why $HOME isn't set. That's definitely not normal. I'm sure Google will help for these kinds of generic Linux issues.
