Perfect.
Can I add $hdr and $hd without it dropping the whole quality line?
For example:

{" [$vf, $vc, $ac]"}

Result:
The Queen's Gambit - S01E01 - Openings [1080p, x265, EAC3]

But when I add $hdr or $hd it evaporates:

{" [$vf, $vc, $ac, $hdr]"}

Result:
The Queen's Gambit - S01E01 ...

Finally this seems to work and takes care of null/empty Genre entries

So close but one issue in episode and movie renaming formats.

Using Filebot format I want to separate the genre 'documentary/news/history/biography' from other standard series paths:
-- Genre (documentary & news only) to "..../video/documentary/series" dir
-- Genre (all others) to "..../video ...

Understood. Now writing a bash script to sequence process the files on fail: tmdb > tvdb > imdb > send to unsorted notify. Also, deploy the --q when available per db.
Can the --filter 'id in csv......' be an array? (i.e "${filter_include_tmdb_LIST[@]}" ) using ';' as a FS?

This ordeal is for ...

I am comfortable with bash scripts so running separate commands for --q is easy work for me.

Now trying to decipher 'filebot -rename' return value (exit status).
0 = ? ( I assume success too)
1 = success
3 = fail (Failed to identify or process any files)

My thoughts are to run another command ...

What a mess. My IDs were not from a consistent source. Certainly makes for interesting viewing :)
* ID 83231 - Documentary show: https://thetvdb.com/series/dispatches
* ID 83231 - Porn show: https://www.themoviedb.org/tv/83231

Can I use ';' as a IFS instead of 'tab' in the includes and excludes csv ...

You are right! It's the Copy & Paste from vscode into a nano file. When I used tabs in nano it works:

filebot -rename "$src_path" \
--output "$storage_video" \
--action test \
--conflict "auto" \
--db TheMovieDB::TV \
--apply artwork nfo metadata srt \
--filter "id in csv('/home/media/.flexget ...

Your help is much appreciated.


Q1. Can you perform an unsorted option with 'filebot -rename'?

Q2. Trying to use a filter (includes/excludes) to pin down series IDs. For example:
-- "Imagine - Stephen.Frears.Director.for.Hire - [series BBC].mkv"
-- "Dispatches - Undercover.Ambulance.NHS.in.Chaos ...

My return was earlier than expected -- a few days. :) Here is my scenario.I have sorted my MVGroup RSS into distinct categories and labeled them into an list array.
type03 - series (files with s00e00)
type04 - movies (files with no form of s00e00 but includes (year)
type05 - unsorted (mixed ...

Oops. Alzheimer's kicking in. Yes, it's a FlexGet question. Sorry for disturbing you.

Back rewriting my whole config.
Iam wanting to store my non-credential variables in a separate yml file (not my variables.yml). My questions are:
1) Can I have two variables' yml files? If so, can I have a import example for my config.yml?
2) Can I put something like 'include: variables_regex.yml ...

Thank you for adding the `Smithsonian` >> `Smithsonian Channel Documentaries` mapping. I guess my filebot mapping files may update in the weeks or days coming. Is there a way to force update? My Filebot is installed in a Proxmox Ubuntu 18.04 LXC container using this install method:
apt install curl ...

Series Mapping

Smithsonian : Smithsonian Channel Documentaries

The original file was named "Smithsonian.Panamas.Animal.Highway.720p.HDTV.x264.AAC.MVGroup.org.mkv" --- here it fails. And unfortunately most of the media is named like this.
Only when I manually rename the file (give it a nudge in the right direction) to "Smithsonian Channel Documentaries - Panamas ...

Thankyou. Yes ---- -non-strict fixed it. But as I understand when using "-non-strict" the unsorted mechanism will rarely be used, if at all. My thoughts were to use the default strict settings and manually process the undetermined files (unsorted).

BUT, I am reading about filters. A example would ...

Many documentary episodes sourced form sites like MVGroup use a episode naming convention of '1of6' to identify different episodes (i.e BBC.The.Death.Of.Yugoslavia.1of6.PDTV.x264.MP3.MVGroup.Forum.mp4). This causes Filebot to fail 'CmdlineException: Failed to match files to episode data'.
