e.g. find all video files that do not have a corresponding NFO file:

... I'm not sure how to do that within the context of the jlesage/filebot container, but as far as plain filebot commands are concerned, the --file-filter option will do the trick.




If it was a non-match, move it to the defined location as in my script?

Presets allow you to set a default input folder from which files are loaded. An additional file filter expression allows you to select only specific files from that default input folder.

:idea: If you must use FileBot Node, and if you are fairly technical, then the --file-filter and --filter could conceivably be used to coax the amc script into matching up these "movie" 1-4 files with the special episodes 1-4, but I'd ...

I've been using the Filebot Filter to drop a bunch of new files, sort by the subtitle format, and set those files in Vidcoder manually, but it can be a hassle.

I'm now renaming new ...

Good thinking trying --filter as well. So what did the console output say for any one of your test runs?

nothing is working, seems like everything I'm doing ...

... File Mode works the same for any file. If you drop subtitle files and video files then it'll work with that. If you only want to process video files then you need to only drop video files into the Original Files area. The Filter tool makes it easy to do just that.
