rednoah, thanks again for sticking with me. I thought I resolved this problem yesterday with the --q switch but it seems I didn't understand the purpose of that switch. I'll take one more shot at explaining what I found here: Goal: To rename all episodes of Chopped (and only Chopped) in my Recorded ...

Not sure what to make of your edit or your dislike for CMD. I manage hundreds of servers with batch scripts that I've written/write and it they work just fine for me. For the record, I'm not asking for command line assistance but I'm also not looking to learn Groovy. I came to the Filebot forum for ...

Is it possible to exclude one show from a rename operation? I will run a command that renames all of the media files in my Recorded TV folder. Because I know that the TVDB is not going to name certain shows properly I want to exclude them from the process. I have a plan to get everything to work ...

OK, I think I've narrowed down the problem to this: Filebot cannot process quotation marks or spaces in a path name. I setup another test environment today and found that these commands worked: "C:\program files\filebot\filebot.exe" -rename V:\RecordedTVTest\Chopped* --db TVRage -non-strict --format ...

rednoah, thanks again for the reply. I apologize if my question wasn't clear. The problem doesn't lie with the commands I'm writing, it's with how Filebot handles arguments. You can see in my previous examples that the problem starts after the -rename switch is passed. Filebot doesn't appear to know ...

Been away for awhile, checking back in. Is there a way to do what I need?

I edited my last reply, maybe after it was read. Just checking in to see if it's possible to do what I want.

Thanks

MJ

rednoah, thanks for your reply. I tested again and again and finally got it right in one circumstance. Spaces and quotations marks after the -rename switch were the cause of my failures. When I set my wildcard after just one word from the show title everything worked as it was designed to. As I ...

I am building a small (Windows) command line script that will trigger FileBot to run against my RecordedTV folder. For the most part I will use The TVDB for my renaming source but there is one show that I will need to use TVRage for. What I'd like to do is call FileBot to rename all episodes of ...

rednoah, I screwed this one up pretty good :? . I thought you might have misunderstood my request when I saw both the forward slash and the hyphen in the command you provided. So I went ahead and modified it and didn't get good results. After I read your last reply I ran the command {n} - {s00e00 ...

rednoah, thank you for your reply. I'm afraid what you suggested doesn't accomplish what I need. I looked over the "naming" page again and got a little closer to what I want but I could use more direction. I'm not even sure what I want is possible. I'll clarify: Episode name on TVRage.com: Rabbid 2 ...

I've been second guessing my request for help and wonder if what I asked for is too much. IF what I'm asking for is too much please consider helping me simply add the dash (or slash) where I need it in the episode title. I worked out a way to prevent all of my other shows (aside from Rabbids ...

I am just starting to learn how to use FileBot and could use a little help. I want the software to run automatically against my Recorded TV folder so I am working on a script that calls FileBot to do what I need. Some of what I need seems to involve Groovy scripts and regular expressions -- stuff ...
