Is there a way to have a preset pre-chosen at launch?

Wolfie

TSIA. When launching the GUI, have it default to COPY instead of RENAME?

Wolfie

That appears to be the case. Is there an easy way to view the internal information via FileBot? I know I can set the information (set attributes), but don't see how to view the existing attributes.

Wolfie

I thought I cleared it up, but nope. I reverted one and then tried matching again.

Superman Collection/1978 Superman 188/Superman (1978).BLURAY.1080p.FHD.HEVC.10bit.DTS-d3g.[68AC17A3].mkv

Matching to "On Her Majesty's Secret Service (1969)."

I think it's the "188" in the containing folder. For ...

Wolfie

I'm thinking of internal referencing. Having episode.tvdb and episode.tmdb would be nice too, since you mention it.

An example use is if someone wants a specific episode (of a specific show, of course) to be named or handled a certain way, they could compare just one ID vs comparing the show and ...

Wolfie

Superman & Lois, series = tt11192306
s01e01 = tt11608512

Wolfie

I was noticing an issue when matching Superman (1978), and it was insisting on matching to a James Bond movie instead. I had done a --clear-prefs and that seemed to clear it up. Thankfully I had backed up the registry entries and restored them.

It could have been a coincidence though, as it could ...

Wolfie

TMDb sometimes has the IMDb ID matching the specific episode vs the overall series. I don't know if it's available via API calls, but if it is, adding it as a property, similar to episode.info?

Wolfie

I thought I would share my episode naming script.

{
// test comment line
/* test comment line */
def maps = include "P:/FileBot/config.groovy"
def map = maps['DEFAULTS'] + maps['TV'], root = any{map['root']}{root}{}
def groups = allOf{map['shows']}{map['groups'].join('|')}{anime}.join ...

Wolfie

Even better. I didn't know how to do it to integer, and yes, definitely better than comparing strings when dealing with numbers.

Thanks.

Wolfie

array.findResult{ k, v -> minutes.toString() >= k ? k : null }

This worked. I prefer the key, as the key is... well... the key to what I needed. :D

Having the key (minutes) allows me to use it beyond that one part, and can easily get the value.

The movie is Superman (1978, not the joke that ...

Wolfie

I'll make this simple, I hope...

array:[
"188" : "Extended",
"151" : 'Special",
]

Is there a way to match it so that it "hits" when the runtime matches or exceeds the number of minutes (on the left)?

I have a 188 minute version that is being detected as 189 minutes.

I'm not opposed to ...

Wolfie

And another tweak to account for the potential problem. So idea is still on.

Wolfie

Tweaked it to just be variable.(property) instead of branching it. Rethinking the idea though, as I noticed a potential problem, but not giving up on what you taught me. It's quite useful.

Wolfie

Oh geez, I created a monster. lol

Perhaps make it a toggle (off by default unless an option used in command line when launching it)? The implementation (not your fault) is annoying.

Wolfie

Is there a way to make it only do it if the enter word is highlighted?

Wolfie

When I try to get it into a variable (not return the result as final), it doesn't want to work for me. ☹

The idea is to get it so that a single variable can be used to either get the "group" it match (a1, a2, a3), the key (a11, a12, etc), or the value (regex32) as desired. It's similar to the above ...

Wolfie

Any way to get it to return an array? So that the following is the result...

Code: Select all

result.key = "a3"
result.value = {"a32":"regex32"}
result.value.key = "a32"
result.value.value = "regex32"

Wolfie

Here's one for you. How do I do something like this:

array.find{ k,v -> v.find{ p,regex -> value=~regex} }

Imagine an array like:

"arrayT":[
"a1":[ "a11":"regex11", "a12":"regex12", ],
"a2":[ "a21":"regex21", "a22":"regex22", ],
"a3":[ "a31":"regex31", "a32":"regex32", ],
],

When I try to ...

Wolfie

I'll see about enabling the "Mark Occurrences" in the RSyntaxTextArea component we are using. I'm not sure as it will add complexity and make the format editor even more daunting to new users, but perhaps it's a good idea to just enable it for the next release and see what comes back from our ...

Wolfie

I'll take a look at it. I like Notepad++ because I can double click a word and it'll highlight all instances of it. Helps to show me how many times I'm using a variable assignment (for example) to know if it's worth it or not. Don't suppose you could work that into the Filebot editor? lol... Double ...

Wolfie

Thanks. Trying to configure Notepad++ to use similar colors when selecting "Filebot" as the language. (I know it's not an actual language, but it's just for cosmetics.)

Wolfie

Like 'def' and 'return' being a dark pink/purple, etc. Wondering where the codes are for that.

Wolfie

I'm trying to get it to match the '/' in "A:/" to limit it to a single folder name. Trying to make sure it matches the "_02" in "/_02/" and not in a situation like "part_023" for example.

Wolfie

Now here's an interesting situation that is baffling me.

Using the 'folders' array from above ("01" = "_01", etc), I'm able to get results from one method but not another.

Working:
folders[file.path.match("(?<=\\_)(${folders.keySet().join('|')})")]

Not working:
folders[file.path.match ...

Wolfie

Here's some code and data that I hope will help others.

def root="P:"
config="P:/FileBot/"

def maps = include config+"config.groovy"
def map = maps['DEFAULTS'] + maps['TV'], folders=map['folders'], dd=map['dd'], talkshows=map['talkshows'], anime=(anime ? (map['anime'] ? "ANIME" : null) :null ...

Wolfie

Nevermind.

Decided to actually try using Google and found the answer.

Groovy: Select all

return franchise.find{k,v-> fn=~v }.key

At least I hope that's right.

Wolfie

Episodes (not movies).

Want to use an array (simple example):
franchise = [
"StarTrek" = "Star ?Trek",
"StarWars" = "Star ?Wars|(The ?)?Mandelorian|Obi-?Wan ?Kenobi",
],

When looking at the title of the file, return the key of the value that matches (if any).

Goal is to allow put grouped ...

Wolfie

Format: Select all

return /\d/

Returns /d

Same if I do '\\d' or "\\d"

Wolfie

Trying to do it for regex purposes, like "\d" to match a digit.

Wolfie

Okay... how do I get a backslash to stay a backslash when it's not being used in a pathname? No matter what I try, "\" is being changed to "/" when I need it to remain a "\."

viewtopic.php?p=22576#p22576

Wolfie

Using @lines already. But I might swap the order of how it's working. Idea is that sometimes, movies aren't considered part of a collection even though they should be. Not FileBot's fault, of course, as it's relying on the information it grabs. So idea is to allow for fixing that, or for overriding ...

Wolfie

Doesn't that make it more complicated with having to use {}'s and []'s?

Groovy syntax is definitely more complicated than JSON syntax, because the former does a lot more, and the latter is just meant to be a simple structured data notation. That said, you can use whatever works best for you ...

Wolfie

String.stripReleaseInfo(boolean strict) does exist. There is no parameterless method of that name though.

So value.stripReleaseInfo() won't work, and need to pass a paramater?

def configs=include "P:/FileBot/config.groovy"

If you're using include() just to create a structured data ...

Wolfie

Format: Select all

def configs=include "P:/FileBot/config.groovy"

That seems to be working.

Also, did "stripReleaseInfo()" get removed?

Wolfie

:idea: If it's more about sharing a format between GUI and CLI, then How can I use the same format in both GUI and CLI? is the way to go.

Problems.

If I make the file and have the contents within {}'s, it's useless because I can't access the values.

If I don't put the contents within {}'s, it ...

You can use the csv() function to read a CSV / TSV file into a Map object.

e.g.

{
def table = csv('/path/to/names.tsv')
table[n] ?: n
}

$ cat ~/names.tsv
Deep Space 9 DS9
How I Met Your Mother HIMYM

Will need to take a look at that. So does a csv file have to have a "tsv" extension ...

Wolfie

Very simple. How do I read a file into a variable but treat it like it's importing code.

Code: Select all

A:Apple,
B:Banana,
S:Steak,

To have this...

Groovy: Select all

map=(file contents)
return map['A']
(returns "Apple")

Wolfie

So then in the script, "ttags=(whatever)" still works, just Fb is throwing the warning as a precaution?

Wolfie

When doing it in a script, I'm trying to pass "ttags" and get Invalid usage: --def ttags is not used and has no effect as a result.

Using the command prompt directly, I get this:
P:\FileBot>filebot -mediainfo --format "{defines} | {defines.qtags} | {fn}" --def "music=n" qtags="TD,IPT,One Two ...

Wolfie

Either I'm encountering a bug or I'm doing something wrong. I recall trying it when you initially showed it to me it worked. Now, when doing that same command, no matter what I try to use, it tells me that " This is not a -script call. The script parameter --def (name) has no effect. "

Be it qtags ...

Wolfie

Let's say that I have tags of TD,IPT, and "One Two," and all three are in a define.

--def qtags="%1" translates to --def qtags="TD,IPT,One Two"

How would I access it in the format file?

Wolfie

:idea: You can use {label} and {defines} to access --def ut_label specifically or the all --def name=value parameters.

So something like --def qtags="%1" would let me use {qtags} ?

Would it already be in an array, or would I need to split it? If so, would splits honor quote marks (if ...

Wolfie

Would it be possible to add in tag support, where tags (comma separated) would be put into two arrays?

{tags[0]} returns returns the first tag, etc.
{tag['name']} returns true if the tag has been set (but false otherwise vs an error)

So if I use a tag like "TD," then {tag['TD']} will return true ...

The reason it's called "hotmail" is because it burns all the legitimate email.

Gmail is tons better.

Wolfie

Closing and re-opening is what I'm trying to avoid since it's a nuisance and I'm a lazy butt. Any chance that it could also compare the file size so that if the file size is different, it will generate a new hash instead of using the old one simply based on the same filename?

Wolfie

Yes, the {crc32} tag. The fact that it's stored in memory for awhile can causes issues in certain circumstances, such as the one I mentioned above. I use it on a file, decide that the resulting file and such can be tinkered with, so I get a new file that is different (obviously), but then it hashes ...

Wolfie

I know about the -clear-cache option, but this is more of a case-by-case basis option.

When I load a folder, I do a match and if I see a bunch of srt files or something else that I want to get rid of (let's say avi instead of mp4's but only certain ones), it's easier to have the extension and name both visible at the same time. I know that renaming srt files is a feature, but ...

Wolfie

TSIA.

When doing a match and having the new names pop up in the right panel, the file type on both sides gets shoved further and further to the right, so that to see a file type you have to scroll it. Any chance of those little yellow suckers being on the left side (at least on the left panel), so ...

I was starting to submit a bug report but decided to double check myself and glad I did.

Wolfie

Sent the info in a PM.

Wolfie

Not using one.

Wolfie

In one file for a different show, I see "Skip short video" for some featurettes. However, in the one this topic is about, nothing about files being skipped.

For one, I see the Input: list and such. In the issue one, no such list. Goes right from the formats to "No files selected for processing."

Wolfie

Okay so where do I find those logs? I looked in the AppData/Roaming/FileBot/logs folder and that log file doesn't show anything additional (not even when tried with "--log all" and neither does the stdout (which I redirect to my own log files).

Wolfie

I'll send you a PM if you want (likely), but here's the situation.

Go several files of a TV show and the log reports "No files selected for processing" at the end (just before the "Done" and the shrugging shoulders).

When using the GUI, it detects potential matches, but in the logs, it doesn't ...

Wolfie

Since you got it fixed, I'm guessing that means you were able to reproduce it. Glad it wasn't something that would be elusive for several weeks, I hate those kinds of bugs.

Does FB use any specific ports (other than 80) for doing stuff? Blocking a domain via one connection I believe would only result in a failure to connect, not force the OS to try a different connection. On Windows, in the connection settings, one can control the default interface to use by changing ...

Wolfie

Each NIC is treated individually when it comes to IP, subnets, DNS, etc., and settings on one don't have to mirror the settings of another.

Wolfie

If you ever decide to rewrite FB, be sure to use your own network functions, even if those just end up calling the default functions.

Forcing it on a Windows OS requires a third party product, which in turn could lead to more problems.

I have two IP addresses, and when the traffic is routed through one, everything is great. But if routed through the other, it often has trouble connecting to ...

Wolfie

Yeah I know. Only the up and down arrows are getting discarded/ignored when encountering a blank line.

Still love the F1 feature though.

I'm wondering, is there a way of changing the 'examples' show? Reason I ask is because it would be helpful to be able to put in my own 'examples' to view (when ...

Wolfie

If it helps any, it's almost like it sees the blank line as being the top (or bottom) of the entire expression, thus discarding the up/down arrow input.

Wolfie

There's a bug in the editor where you can't move up or down if there is a blank line. You have to use the left/right keys to get past it (end of line, right arrow when trying to move down, or start of line, left arrow, to move up).

Wolfie

Updated in next post...

Wolfie

.values() is what I needed, thanks!

Gonna toy with the idea of using an array (or map) for the main structure, then update in the following lines (as needed). Might not be much of a benefit, but could be fun.

Wolfie

I like to see the results real-time whenever possible. If making it possible to hide the example box isn't easy, then it's not worth it.

Trying to do something but can't seem to figure out how to get the desired results. Trying to make an array using labels, then join, but without the labels ...

Wolfie

The idea would be to have a "pre-processor" that would do the dirty work, so that the main expression can look better.

Take, for example, the recent issue with TheTVDB, where the series start date isn't available due to a bug (for new shows). To counter the issue, using {n} and then getting the ...

Hi @rednoah, I'm baaaaaaaaaaaaaaack! lol

I know I mentioned something like this before in one of my billion posts, but this is an official request, if it's possible to do.

Basically, an editor to allow adding or altering of values before the main line is parsed. I'm sure that's confusing, so to ...

Wolfie

I added {sy.toString().match(/\d+/)} or something like that before I made the initial post.

Wolfie

Apparently there is a known bug that prevents it.

Wolfie

I'm sure part of the fault lies with TheTVDb.com, but I believe it's still something that should be fixable.

Shows like Impulse, Manifest, and The Conners don't properly fill out the fields (ny, year), and I believe it's because the series information (on TheTVDb) doesn't have the "First aired ...

Wolfie

If it's a bug, then would appear that this question/request had a positive benefit.

As for solutions, your help is phenomenal as it is and not all requests will have solutions.

Wolfie

Actually, FileBot does seem to be choking.. The stripReleaseInfo() returns blank on it.

Wolfie

It's a prefix that doesn't really conform to the norm. It's not a bug with filebot, it's just someone sticking a tag (group tag?) at the beginning. I'll gladly PM you an example if you want to see what I'm talking about.

Wolfie

Just tried and no good, as there are some instances where the filename has some sort of a prefix to it. I have a rather complex code I've been using that I know has its own problems, which is why I was hoping for something more reliable.
