No worries. My tutorials are detailed and technical so pretty hard to understand if you don't have certain basics.

Just write it as if you'd explain it to a friend. I'm sure many people will appreciate newbie oriented tutorials and explanations. If something is wrong, I'll just correct it for you ...

Now you owe me a tutorial where you explain what you've learned, or a donation, your choice.

Rednoah, although I am still testing this script (have been away much recently) & don't have all elements still, I'll donate for your great help and patience as I think it'll help you more than a tutorial ...

Do you expect me to hack into your machine just so I can see the screenshot you saved on your desktop, Mr Producer? Sry, can't be bothered. Try again. This time try uploading the screenshot somewhere, ok? ;)
:D I like to sense of humour... ;)

I saw this about the img and currently trying sorting ...

I'm back :)
I am running the following script
{languages[0] =~ 'Spanish|French' ? localize[languages[0]].name : n} ({y})
{def FirstLanguage = languages[0]; (FirstLanguage =~ 'French') ? 'French Films'+'/'+localize.French.name+'('+y+')'+'/'+fn : ((FirstLanguage =~ 'English') ? 'English Movies ...

I'm out until tuesday but i'll send you screen prints of the result i'm talking about at my return. I did try quite a bit with various files, not billio s times thats for sure chat on tuesday

I must be badly explaining myself. I have a low level understanding of the custom formating but not that low ;)
The output of the {languages[0] =~ 'French' ? 'French Films' : 'Movies'} script isn't what you say should be. It creates a folder for each movie instead of 1 named French Films and 1 ...

If you want your output path to consist of anything other than "/Films" or "/Movies", than all of that is missing. :lol:

@see http://www.filebot.net/naming.html
I don' t want anything else as i am working in the same folder but as i commented before this renames each file films or movies and ...

What am I missing with the following then?

ok, so I must have misinterpreted your post comment then...

If primary spoken language is French, move to "French Films" folder, or "Movies" folder otherwise:

Code: Select all

{languages[0] =~ 'French' ? 'French Films' : 'Movies'}

So trying to analyse this and as I understand it means:
localising languages, if french then move to French films folder else to Movies.

I must be missing something because I can't make it work...give me a hint please

1.
If a movie is not identified correctly in the first place, there is nothing you can do about that in the format. Also, I don't think the Chinese name is written in Japanese Katakana.
ok

2.
Look at the code and think. Does it look like it describes the whole path?
my lack of coding knowledge ...

testing out {languages[0] =~ 'Spanish|French' ? localize[languages[0]].name : n} it works quite well; the only thing is that in my test I have a movie called "flic ou voyou" (https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/40420-flic-ou-voyou) and since the beginning of my this movie either receives an english ...

Your OP does contain a few interesting problems for which there isn't many examples here in the forums yet.

Well, that's the difference between me making FileBot better for everyone (free), and me working for you specifically on a problem that benefits only you (very expensive).


I think it's reasonable to assume that it'll take at least 1-2 hours until it works exactly the way you want. Assuming you're ...

Ok thx Rednoah, I'll give a try to all these newbies...Now I don't want to be a tight ars but given that I've already bought your 10euro GUI app maybe we can come to better arrangement ...

thank you for your help Rednoah!

Hi, this is a special request...I am no developer trying to create a script and wasting lots of time because cannot really put myself into it, mainly because of kids and general busy life...

so I was asking myself wether or not a scripts could be created for me by someone who knows and understand ...

1. Get spoken language
2. Get localized title for spoken language


e.g.
{localize[languages.first()].name}


This approach assume that "Spoken Languages" is defined in the database. You can come up with other rules (e.g. if path contains XYZ then English otherwise French).
it still doesn't pick ...

HI, I have been searching for this but haven't found anything suitable so requesting help here.

Don't process folders that don't contain any real media files. movieFormat.groovy.srt is not a real file.
You're right it isn't. This file was created while I first tested the script which renamed all files as "movieFormat.groovy" for some reason (?!)
I just left them in their not thinking it ...
