background

With the help of a friend, I have installed Gentoo on my server. However, a lot of
applications I am used to running have some complications in getting them going. The Final
piece of the puzzle is Filebot

The Meat

There is an ebuild of filebot that is a few versions old and does ...

where can I get FileBot r6859? on the current Download Page only FileBot 4.8.5 (r6224) is available

1. the nonsense is caused by $NOW inside of $LOGDIR (improperly escaped) now fixed in updated script.

2. deleting mediainfo from script Filebot will still try to process all files in dir.
running $ filebot -script fn:amc --file-filter "age < 1" --format "{d} {f}" -r /zata/done/ser/ --output /zata ...

I ran this script

#!/bin/bash

1. I will add //--file-filter ...// to script and try/test. Also -r I shall report.

2.Hopefully this works and excludelist will not be necessary.

3. I'll give this a try as well. should I pipe this line with read

IF filebot -mediainfo -r /files --file-filter "age < 1" --format "{d} {f}" | read ...

folder structure is '/zpool/done/cine/` forgot where to find logs on FreeBSD. I suppose the folder name could be an issue, though I presumed filebot would only "look" and subfolders and not consider the parent folder name

filebot is installed on FreeBSD, ssh from MacOS the call is

filebot -script fn:amc --db TheTVDB --output "/path/to/plex/" -no-xattr --format {plex} --action hardlink -non-strict -r "/path/to/done/series" --log-file amc.log --def excludeList=amc.txt

I am having the same issue, however it is for actual small files, Tom and Jerry each video is ~5 minutes long and ~70MB in size. how can I bypass or force filebot to "see"/process small files

what 'm trying to do is use the album artist as the main folder and have the featured artist in the file name so

perhaps this is already available, but what I'm looking for is to toggle/switch off

I've sen a few post about Hazel and that people finally get it to work. but they don't post their rules. the Hazel forum is less active than here (most recent posts are from last year). Dev's comment about filebot is

do you have a copy/pic of your hazel rules to run the script?

In the end I gave up on the super crazy scheme. I have my own quite nutty scheme almost working how I want it to.

Given the weeks and hours I've sunk into making filebot work, I'm calling it good enough and walking away with the tattered threads of my sanity.

Thanks for your help.

Can "... artwork=y ..." be defined to ONLY download banner, poster and season? and can the source be set to a specific --db?

for example

thanks my issue was twofold

I had -rename BEFORE my input

AND

I had escaped "\" the spaces I have in a folder name (so in finder that folder is first regardless of other folder names)

where the solution was simply

I'm going to try this in reverse. I would prefer to have filebot rename files and only have to symlink so that I do not break seeding (private trackers)

So I'm using your script as an example and simply calling on filebot for each of my save locations. this way I keep seeding on the drive that ...

would there be a way to write this so

MOVE to

/path/to/Seed_forever/torrent_name.mp4

I'm working on something similar, I don't think filebot can move/copy/link based off trackers. But this thread http://www.filebot.net/forums/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=2237&p=12820#p12820 shows some promise. though I haven't sorted it out, I would imagine that you'd have to move some folders around.

Restarted my Mac mini and solved the issue. However, is there a way to make filebot post process run as sudo? I've noticed that I get these permission errors after about 48+ hours of uptime on my external HDD.

can postprocess handle transmission labels/groups? what I'd like to do, due to low disk space, download to

elgallo

thanks rednoah!

how can I define the input? meaning I can write the settings in flexget to download TV series into /Volumes/A/
couchpotato into /Volumes/B/ and headphones to download into /Users/me/Music/.

however how do I get the transmission postprocess to read/see the files in those locations?

I've managed to get my AMC transmission-postprocess to finally work after some trial and error. It was a bit unique in that torrents are downloaded to Volume/downloads, then sorted into /Volumes/Media/Muzik, /Volumes/Media/TV and /Volumes/Video/M0vies. The screenshots were extremely helpful ...
