ha ha .. Well that's both silly and a simple enough fix.
This no longer works This however does work Well .. okay, I can just spell out the full filename no problem..

I just tested it with 5.1.2, that's when this no longer works.

I'm running Windows 11
Here is a simple script which I'm running in a pwsh session using

filebot -script .\test_include_5_1_x.groovy

Here is the script

include('lib/imdb')

Here is the imdb.groovy file (located in the lib subfolder)

package lib

//--- VERSION 1.0.0

and the stacktrace ...

My scripts have used include() since 4.x, and on 5.1.1 work fine, but on 5.1.4 I now get this error:

General error during instruction selection: Illegal script class: lib.__script_40d3cf174f7523b1087cd0f6148bd68b

net.filebot.InvalidInputException: Illegal script class: lib.__script ...

Good question ..

I totally forgot you can use the any {} with the mapper option, I'll have to update that specific case to something that in theory should at least not cause filebot to throw out an error.
I had expected that if the mapper couldn't be used for an episode (or special in this case ...

You are correct, the error I am getting is not related to AniDB, but a "filebot" error :)

Map [Focus T25 - Special 1 - Stretch] to [...] failed: net.filebot.format.BindingException: Binding "e": undefined

re: Catch block:
It was catching *something*, or I expect I wouldn't have seen the messages in my script output for the AniDB Ban.

Re: Caching
hmm... Your right that I should have been saving the actual exception messages as well, so I will add some additional output to my script and see if I can ...

As @rednoah has mentioned, sometimes when using a particular DB-to-DB Mapping you might not get a value, one possible way to deal with this is to use the { any { expression1 } {expression2} } in your format code, with your expressions in order of preference. In general as long as one of them works ...

oh, I didn't include how I "know" if I've been banned by AniDB. I am using this try/catch block..


try {
rfsTemp = rename(*:wrapperArgs)
if (rfsTemp) {
rfs += rfsTemp
}
} catch (Exception IllegalStateException) {
println 'AniDB BanHammer Detected. Please stop hitting AniDB for at least 24 ...

I switched my extensive Anime renaming script from 4.9.3 r8311 to 4.9.4 r8736 and the # of times I am banned by AniDB has significantly increased.
With 4.9.4 r8736 I got banned 19 times out of 76 runs over 3 months.
with 4.9.3 r8311 I got banned 0 times out of 146 runs over 6 months.

As there are ...

Ah that's it.
I normally run my script using -r (recursive), which looks to transform args to the list of files. I had some scripts that I run without -r, and was using args[x] to get the input folder..
I was slow to figure out what was the difference between the scripts, and finally realized it was ...

Is there an easy/simple way to reference the input directory(s) specified on the command line within a script run using filebot -script?
For example:
filebot -script myscript.groovy --action move Z:\some\directory -output z:\some\other\directory

Is there an easy way to find out the input ...

@Kim - Your spot on, it looks like the best available option is to use a method to return the values, either as a single method/value or single method returning map.

I lack the necessary expertise and knowledge to say for certain what *might* work, I can say that I didn't find an option that worked ...

@kim -
Thanks for the SO link, I'll poke at that a bit and search for some other groovy alternatives to the native import statement.

Your idea is good and mirrors what I have found out when using filebot --script to run groovy scripts, however that seems to only work for variables you declare in ...

I am using filebot's include() method to source several "libraries", which are groovy scripts (not classes) in a groovy script executed using filebot --script <script>.

I have several libraries, and multiple methods within those libraries.
in my main script I use include() to source the "library ...

Re: generic filebot -rename above
So as to add some info , Episode 1002 of detective Conan is actually S29E12 via airdate order and not S10x02.

Re: Feature Request
#2 above is in general the facility that is geared towards both situations and users who need "more". rednoah even provides and ...

Awesome, I wasn't sure if you had switched or not...

Thanks.

It seems like the ScudLee/anime-lists repo is either not actively maintained or very sparsely maintained (last update Jan 1 2021 and many outstanding PRs/Issues).

This fork also seems to have been created to actively maintain an alternative using the same format (https://github.com/Anime-Lists ...

Thanks, I never thought of using any {} for the mapper option, I'll work with that and see how I can fit that in.

Re: Xem (Name -> Name)
oh.. It never occurred to me that AnimeList.AniDB matched differently then Xem.AniDB. I had thought that that all of the matching is by default ID -> ID for both ...

If you are wondering WHY I'm using both.. Well
1) I thought it couldn't really hurt and give an invalid match
2) Because some Anime Release Groups seem to be using a numbering scheme that Xem.AniDB matches like [EMBER] Re Zero kara Hajimeru Isekai Seikatsu S2 - 15.mkv, where AnimeList.AniDB doesn't ...

Using --mapper "[AnimeList.AniDB, Xem.AniDB] produces an incorrect map result, while using either one of them alone products the *correct* map result.

Which is a bit odd.. Is this an expected behavior?
The "incorrect" map..

As I don't believe filebot can tell if a file has English Audio/Subtitle without "looking" at it, if it's acceptable to you I think at least 2 (I'm sure there are more) way's to tackle this.
1. In a previous step you could separate out the English movies from the non-English, so they are in ...

Confirmed. r8311 fixes the mapping for Sword Art Online: Alicization - War of Underworld (2020) at least (and likely some others).

Thank you very much for the fix.

Awesome, Thanks for the quick response.

I'll try and download r8311 and test it out in the next few days.
