[utorrent] noob amc issues

[Oleros]

Hi,
Filebot looks great and I'm trying to run it together with my Plex setup but can't get it to work. I use windows 10, latest Utorrent and have an external drive (E:/) where I store my media files. I have four Plex related folders: Incomplete, Download (media repository), Movies and Tv shows. Plex libraries Movies and Tv shows point to related folder and these will not be changed unless I manually add files to them.
I have posted this code in the "run this program when torrent finishes" field in Ut:

Code: Select all

filebot -script fn:amc --output "E:/Download" --action copy --conflict skip -non-strict --log-file amc.log --def unsorted=y music=y artwork=y "ut_label=%L" "ut_state=%S" "ut_title=%N" "ut_kind=%K" "ut_file=%F" "ut_dir=%D"

Problem is that nothing seems to happen, no renaming or copying - any idea what could be wrong?

Thanks for the post! Before a real human comes by, please make sure your report has all the following points checked:

• Include screenshots, logs or filenames (i.e. demonstrate the issue)
• Include basic information (i.e. sysinfo output)

Please read How to Request Help and Fix Problems, Report Bugs, Get Features

[rednoah]

Please read the Troubleshooting section. The cmdline output will tell you what's wrong.

Hi, sorry didn't see your forum guidelines. Console output:

Not sure how to interpret the "Illegal usage" or "Failure" messages..

Read the Troubleshooting section again and pay special attention to the RED and BOLD parts.

Sorry feel like a moron (5h of sleep doesn't help..) - guess you mean replacing the variables? Copied from the Ut log with these results:

Looks like we've confirmed that it's working perfectly fine when called manually. Check the amc.log file (see cmdline output for exact path) and see what happened when utorrent ran the script.

Code: Select all

WARNING: Could not open/create prefs root node Software\JavaSoft\Prefs at root 0x80000002. Windows RegCreateKeyEx(...) returned error code 5.

The registry error will go away if you run FileBot as Administrator once. It means nothing. It's just a warning.

3.
You just posted the same log again, and that log shows that it's working:

Code: Select all

[COPY] Rename [E:\Download\Dark.Matter.S02E01.720p.HDTV.x264-AVS\dark.matter.s02e01.720p.hdtv.x264-avs\Dark.Matter.S02E01.720p.HDTV.x264-AVS\Dark.Matter.S02E01.720p.HDTV.x264-AVS.mkv] to [E:\Download\TV Shows\Dark Matter\Season 02\Dark Matter - S02E01 - Welcome to Your New Home.mkv]

4.
If amc.log is otherwise empty, then FileBot was never called, and thus never could have done anything. I guess it's a path issue (see Common Problems).

[Oleros]

The first log was a copy from cmd console, the second from amc.log, if they're the same, then I can only trust you are right it's a path issue. Problem is I have the simplest path ever: E:\download and a very standard OS setup so shouldn't be access rights problem..
Reading your guideline for Utorrent I'm not sure whether I actually need the FB program installed or if the script can be run standalone in Ut. I installed it now just in case but see no effect. If required, does it have to be configured in any specific way?

[rednoah]

If you have PATH issues, and it almost always is PATH issues, try using the absolute path to the executable, e.g. "C:/Program Files/FileBot/filebot.exe" or /usr/local/bin/filebot

The PATH refers to how you call filebot.

e.g. call via command: let windows figure out which executable to call:

Code: Select all

filebot -version

e.g. call via executable: tell windows exactly which executable to use:

Code: Select all

"C:/Program Files/FileBot/filebot.exe" -version

[Oleros]

Thanks, I have never run filebot or any other AMC before so apologies for the basic level of my questions but your (very excellent) support could be even better if you told me what to actually do...

This is the script I'm running:

Code: Select all

filebot -script fn:amc --output "E:/Download" --action copy --conflict skip -non-strict --log-file amc.log --def unsorted=y music=y artwork=y "ut_label=%L" "ut_state=%S" "ut_title=%N" "ut_kind=%K" "ut_file=%F" "ut_dir=%D"

I have installed Filebot and it's at C:\Program Files\FileBot\Filebot.exe. Where exactly should I insert this path?

[rednoah]

Delete the log file.

Then try something like this:

Code: Select all

"C:/Program Files/FileBot/filebot.exe" --output "E:/Download" --action copy --conflict skip -non-strict --log-file amc.log --def unsorted=y music=y artwork=y "ut_label=%L" "ut_state=%S" "ut_title=%N" "ut_kind=%K" "ut_file=%F" "ut_dir=%D"

If utorrent calls filebot, then filebot will write some logs.

[Oleros]

Ok, inserted the script. Now, when a download finishes FB opens up (empty) then the cmd console opens with following message:

Code: Select all

Aug 11, 2016 1:46:48 PM java.util.prefs.WindowsPreferences <init>
WARNING: Could not open/create prefs root node Software\JavaSoft\Prefs at root 0x80000002. Windows RegCreateKeyEx(...) returned error code 5.

after that empty consoles open for every finished download.

Log file is identical to error message above.

[rednoah]

1.
You can ignore that warning. Running FileBot as admin will make it go away permanently.

2.
Check the utorrent logger tab. Check the command. Try it. Post both command and output here.

3.
The cmd window is supposed to pop up for each filebot call. It should only stay open while filebot is running though, and there should be lots of output in the console window.

[Oleros]
