Re-organize previously organized files using local xattr metadata

Perhaps you could paste what you have so far here, so we can see what exactly doesn't seem to work at all?

You seem to have deleted the first episode, then added another S02E02 with "The Ambush" as title... Why? https://thetvdb.com/series/line-of-duty/seasons/official/2 https://snipboard.io/dG3KgW.jpg Since all the episodes are already there, you just need to click on Edit Translations then Eng...

Split code into external *.groovy script files

TMDB / TVDB / TVmaze are built by the community and all of them allow for changes and contributions. Please check the forum for your preferred database if you run into issues contributing episode titles. :arrow: TMDB: You may need to talk to the moderators since some episodes seem to be locked (perh...

:idea: TMDB / TVDB are machine-readable via an API, and so everyone and their mom (every software product at the very least) has long since switched to TMDB / TVDB. :idea: IMDB is a legacy website, made for humans only, does not have an API, and ToS explicitly prohibit Robots and Screen Scraping . T...

Extended Attributes / NTFS Alternate Data Streams is an optional file system feature. If you move / copy files around then xattr may get silently lost if the target file system does not support xattr or if the program doing the move / copy isn't aware of xattr.

:idea: Do files inside the given folders have xattr metadata ? The Rename Series Folders example assumes that the files inside those folders have previously been identified and renamed with FileBot, and thus have xattr metadata attached to each episode file. series.name doesn't work if we don't have...

Yes, but you would have to write your entire expression inside a single {...} returning one single normalized file path. :arrow: @files › Script Parameter Value happens to have a prime example for this kind of format expression: { [ allOf {ny} { allOf {vf} {group} } , allOf {ny} {'CD'+pi} {lang} ]*....

What was the database that was being used when I was ripping CDs back in the early 2000s? I don't think it was using acoustdb fingerprints. Was it Gracenote, maybe? That sounds right. That was easier, because you had a CD identifier, with which you could get the CD index online, which would then te...

A quick glance on the first ~5 and last ~5 matches show no issues. Can you point out at least on of the mismatches so that I don't have to sift through the log? EDIT: I found an "incomplete" match: [TEST] from [Max and Ruby_S03E07_Max's Fire Flies_Max & Ruby's Fashion Show_Ruby's Sing-...

e.g. { episodelist.size() != episodelist.findAll{ s == it.s }.e.max() ? absolute : null } :arrow: :arrow: Learn how {expressions} work and useful Helper Functions e.g. maybe you could just do "add absolute numbers to shows that have more than one season" though: { sc > 1 ? absolute : null }

This unfortunately is the real killer for me. If I can't manually lookup the ones that don't match, I don't know how I'll get metadata for the majority of music videos. This sounds like it's a limitation that can't be bypassed though. Is there a way to make acoustdb match on filename? Sorry, we don...

e.g. $ filebot -rename SpongeBob*.mp4 --format '{plex.name}' --db TheTVDB -non-strict --mapper 'any{ if (regular) episode.number(null).map(episodelist.findAll{ airdate == it.airdate && !it.special }.episode).reverse() }{ episode.number(null) }' --action TEST --log INFO [TEST] from [SpongeBob...

:idea: {folder} is on the list. File::getName is Java API. There is no "all the strings" because you are writing code. Please read the FileBot Groovy Expression Reference Documentation for details. :idea: The built-in action.variables Bindings viewer will give you a list of commonly used s...

I realize that FileBot stores metadata as extended attributes, and it wouldn't be hard for me to write a script to take these extended attributes and create an NFO file from them. Unfortunately, xattr metadata is limited to Movie and Episode objects. AudioTrack objects are not stored to xattr for n...

I have lots of different shows I wanna rename, but some of them need matching for the multiple episodes because they're listed separately. For example SpongeBob is one. How can I do that? :arrow: You do know that I'm gonna ask for sample file paths by now, right? :lol: :arrow: In absence of you pro...

e.g. match /Badini/ from the file path: e.g. use the parent folder name:

Cheers. The code above has been tested with the given movies and works as desired:

:?: Can you provide a specific positive and a specific negative example? i.e. TMDB link for one movie that only has "Documentary" in the genre list, and another that has multiple genres? In general, Conditional Structures (if-then-else) can be arbitrarily complex and check for multiple thi...

Seems to be a generic Windows problem unrelated to FileBot specifically. Why can't a Task Scheduler job access a mapped network drive? You might get lucky with a general Google search. Please report back if you find a solution for the next guy who stumbles up this thread.

:idea: This file is to old as per --def maxAgeDays=21 and thus ignored: Ignore old: W:\Archer\Season 14\Archer S14E02 - 30 for 30.mkv :idea: This file already has English subtitles embedded inside the file itself from the very beginning, and you therefore don't need additional external subtitles, an...

The file path must end with *.groovy if you want this option value to be interpreted as external format file. :arrow: Please read @file syntax › Option Value for details: --format /path/to/MovieFormat.groovy :!: If you're using *.txt files then you're likely using Notepad to edit them, which is prob...

The stack dump confirms that FileBot is stuck in a Windows system call, so there's nothing you or FileBot can do about it, the issue is an internal Windows bug / SMB file system driver bug that is perhaps caused by Nord VPN interfering the the TCP/IP stack in unexpected ways: java.lang.Thread.State:...
