Wish I had received this simple bit of information as an option :x I have struggled with this for a very, very long time and received overly complicated advice . Appears to be much easier to implement in my AMC script. What's happening now is a series is downloaded named with the correct production ...

`exiftool' will provide metadata for .epub. :?: Regardless of renaming... how does one move a file that has a certain tag to a different directory if it is not a movie, series, music? Right now software, eBooks, and audiobooks all get sent to my "Unsorted" directory. :?: Are there options like these...

@rednoah, That worked really well for those two series but everything else fails now, including movies. This is obviously far more complicated than just adding --filter and some arguments. It requires a complete rebuild of my script. Don't know why I was expecting it to only apply to shows that have...

Thanks for this. I am finally getting around to it again. :arrow: In this case, you'll want to use the --filter option to exclude "SNL Poland" , or include "Saturday Night Live" exclusively. Please read FAQ #2 for details. e.g. exclude "SNL Poland" --filter "none{ n =~ /SNL Poland/ }" e.g. include "...

Thanks for the help... I need a little more context for my use case. i am going to use an external file but that begs the question where do I add --file-filter so it only applies to movies or series and not music or books. If I only want filters to apply to --def seriesFormat and --def movieFormat o...

There is no all in one solution I think I should provide an example of what I am running into. filename is: Saturday.Night.Live.S47E06.Jonathan.Majors.720p.WEB.h264-KOGi[rartv] [2021-11-14 05:01:50.112] Run script [fn:amc] at [Sun Nov 14 05:01:50 CST 2021] [2021-11-14 05:01:50.138] Parameter: minFi...

@kim
Thanks for sticking with me on this.
I am having more mismatches using this method on other shows when it’s just the name of the show and season. How would I only apply his method to certain troublesome shows like NOVA and not to other shows?

Is there a good reason why I shouldn't use it the way it is now?

Keeping the default save path as: And defining paths for files I don't want to end up in the default path.

why ? --output "/Volumes/PlexMedia/PlexServer_1" from format /Volumes/PlexMedia/PlexServer_1/ /Volumes/SeedDrive/PlexServer_2/ do this --output "/Volumes/" format PlexMedia/PlexServer_1/ SeedDrive/PlexServer_2/ Thank you for suggesting that. :?: ... Since I am using --conflict index wouldn't items ...

Kim, This is my modified AMC script. I believe I added the mapper option correctly - please check. I also prepended order.airdate. to my series format definition. Is there something I am missing... { /usr/local/bin/filebot -script fn:amc --output "/Volumes/PlexMedia/PlexServer_1" \ --action copy \ -...

First time I tried this :) It took a bit of time to get working because no "Absolute Airdate Order" but you need to use "Date and Title" maybe update page ;) https://www.filebot.net/forums/viewtopic.php?t=6136 THANKS! Much appreciation. I will give that a shot. How are you are testing this without ...

I haven't worked much with my presets and with my advancing years that means much has been forgotten :? I have a shell script that works 99% of the time unless there is a misnamed file. Occasionally it's due to an incorrect year in a movie file name (off by 1 because of a release date discrepancy), ...

Thank you I’ll look at that when I get back. I use an AMC Script and rarely have to use the GUI. What I want is for Plex to show them properly. Proper name and proper season and episode are required. As it stands it’s less than automatic. I have to rename the files before FileBot gets a hold of them...

To be clear… The files I am getting are already named with the correct season and episode (from NOVA). They are then mapped by TVDB to the incorrect episodes when renaming with FileBot.

Last year season 47 of NOVA was shown out of series order. Meaning shows that were supposed to air later aired earlier or vice versa. This happens once in awhile and NOVA isn't the only series. TVDB has a policy that all shows on their site are listed in Aired Order which is fine, but then they modi...

Apparently filebot's "system.properties" is sensitive to case. this works: this caused filebot to not startup:

10/17/21_13:24:52 /Users/john $ filebot -script fn:history Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Could not initialize class net.filebot.Logging at net.filebot.Main.main(Unknown Source) 10/17/21_13:26:08 /Users/john $ filebot -script fn:history /Users/john/.filebot/history.xml E...

Thank you. That takes a long time to run with 34,000 lines of history. I don't think basename is meant to be run that way? real 0m22.386s user 0m11.157s sys 0m14.146s The following gets me what I want in a readable format. (On macOS it requires GNU sed / gsed ). I am open to a better/faster/simpler ...

Description: FileBot keeps an internal history of all rename operations in case you want to revert files to their original names or just want to find out the original name of a given file. Here's a script to help with that. Print old and new names in rows for easy comparison: filebot -script fn:his...

Here's what the call stack would look like: 1. qBT calls your qBT_e-program.sh 1.1. qBT_e-program.sh calls filebot 1.1.1. filebot -exec calls your delete-srt-files.sh passing along the destination {folder} as Argument $1 1.1.1.1. delete-srt-files.sh calls find "$1" ... e.g. -exec /path/to/delete-sr...

Thank you. The test worked. The script was called and there was output in my txt log. #!/bin/bash #find "$1" >> ~/Desktop/SsubDeletetest.txt /Volumes/SeedDrive/PlexServer_2/TV Shows/Last Week Tonight with John Oliver/Season 08 /Volumes/SeedDrive/PlexServer_2/TV Shows/Last Week Tonight with John Oliv...

:D It takes me hours and sometimes days to figure this stuff out... and that's with your help. My torrent client is set up to run a shell script which contains my filebot commands. My "on torrent completion run external program" commands in the client are: /Users/john/.filebot/scripts/qBT_e-program....

Thanks for the speedy response. Sorry, I wasn't clear. Let's say AMC script has done its job and found a match and knows what the new directory name will be. Is that something that I can use after it has Copied? First my shell script runs filebot fn:amc Next it runs another command to find non-engli...

I am running the AMC script. Before a file is COPY from [/path/to/original/file] to [/path/to/renamed/file] is that final destination path stored in an argument that I can use? :?: Do I have access to the argument containing the name of the directory where it will be stored after FileBot has decided...

Thanks Red. I will give that a shot tomorrow. I did open an "issue" on qBT's github page regarding this. I am posting what is working now for qBittorrent 4.3.3 "run external program" shell script. :idea: One site I found helpful for checking validity of shell scripts: https://www.shellcheck.net. The...
