Re: -rename keeplink errors with "The file or directory is not a reparse point"

1. I want the actual files on STORAGE_NAS, named for plex, in a folder also named for plex. I want the original folder/filenames on INCOMING_NAS as links so I can continue seeding them without wasting space. I want the original folder/file names on a separate NAS (as links) than the actual plex-name...

Re: -rename keeplink errors with "The file or directory is not a reparse point"

Any idea why this doesn't output to (or even create) c:\testexec.txt? I'm using the '--def exec=' form because I want to get the list of source and destination folders for every successful move. This runs without error but no output. cmd /c filebot . -script fn:amc --action TEST --apply import --def...

Re: -rename keeplink errors with "The file or directory is not a reparse point"

I don't understand your first sentence. I want to: Run filebot on my INCOMING NAS/Movies folder. Have filebot rename and move each directory to the STORAGE NAS, creating a folder and renaming the movie file to be {plex} format based on matching to the MovieDB or TVDB. Have filebot (rename keeplink?)...

Re: -rename keeplink errors with "The file or directory is not a reparse point"

I can see some history but not enough to make it worthwhile to revert and re-do will apply import. So I guess -exec mklink will have to do. I assume historic.f is the original filename and f is the new filename? I want to link the directory not the file. Is that possible?

Re: -rename keeplink errors with "The file or directory is not a reparse point"

Thanks. I've tried both \\server and X:\ forms and there's no difference. Symbolic soft links definitely work from NAS to NAS using the same files and folders used to test with filebot but fail. It's just mklink /D \\nas1\link_dir \\nas2\target_dir or remove the /D to link files instead of directori...

-rename keeplink errors with "The file or directory is not a reparse point"

Hi Rednoah. Thanks for your comments on that other forum a few days ago. It make me take a look at -rename --action symlink This works perfectly (it leaves the file as-is in the INCOMING UPS and makes a plex-named directory and link in the STORAGE UPS. But I want the linking done in the opposite dir...

Re: Is there a way to move Featurettes to the proper folder after the fact?

Thank you for the reply! I have never used the GUI but I believe the command-line equivalent is --import but I have not had good results with it so I've been amassing Featurettes and Trailers and such and I am looking for a way to move them into the proper target folders. I've done some manually but...

Do I have to buy Filebot again?

I bought a filebot license several years ago. It has worked for at least 3 years, so I assumed it was a one-time purchase. I recently built a new PC and downloaded filebot, but I don't see any way to restore my purchase or license. I don't mind paying extra if there are many updates or something, bu...

Re: --apply import issues

I'll try the history method. I assume if xattr metadata is not available I can use filebot to try to add it? What I meant in that last paragraph is the same as what you answered, worded differently to try to be clear. Specifically: In my "source" dir, I have a bunch of "[Website] Movi...

Re: --apply import issues

The main hassle is using --apply import created subdirectories and added files unrelated target location directories. I showed a snipped of mixing up movies in my last long post. I can send you the whole log but it's 2.5MB zipped so I doubt you want to look through all that mess. If you do pick your...

Re: Q&A for n00bs

Yeah, thanks. So I'd guess it'd skip featurettes without an accompanying movie, ok, but I just totally fucked my library and am just too spent to make threads. Not only are there thousands of files randomly scattered in unrelated movie and tv dirs, but now I have duplicate dirs and files with and wi...

Re: Q&A for n00bs

Thank you for the quick and thorough reply. I'm sorry for my late response but it took filebot almost 3 days to work through my dir with all the "featurettes" dirs I'd been accumulating while being too lazy to move them manually. 1. All --apply post-processing features work with the amc sc...

I'm not really a n00b, at least not in years used, but I'll try here first. Is it possible to use: --apply import with the AMC script?

Filebot CLI hangs for days with no output

I've been using filebot for years and purchased it from the windows store as soon as it was there. It's been working up until a year or so ago where the script I have used so many times would run ok sometimes, but occasionally hang forever (I let it sit 3 days once) with no output.
