Migrate embedded xattr to .xattr folder in Synology

[Liryc17]

Hi,

I have a huge avi collection.
All theses videos has been renamed with the windows version of filebot and uploaded on my synology server.
Now I want to export xattr metadata to the .xattr folder.

I try the amc script but it fail because input folder is the same as output folder...

An idea for doing this without moving every file (and so rebuild syno index) ?

Code: Select all

filebot -script 'fn:sysinfo' --log-file '/usr/local/filebot-node/data/filebot.log'

Are the files currently xattr tagged?


* If you have processed files on device, then they're tagged via native file system xattr
* If you have processed files remotely via SMB shares, then xattr metadata should be available, but only via SMB, because the Synology SMB implementation stores the xattr data in some undocumented proprietary plain file format.


You'll likely want to export the .xattr folders from your Windows machine with the GUI application, assuming that xattr metadata is available from that point of view.

Great, I was not aware about this windows functionnality

It was really usefull for medias with already embbeded xattr properties, but how can I generate xattr for "old" files which has been renamed with previous version of filebot without xattr?
Thanks

[rednoah]

You'll have to process files with Rename again. There's no way to add xattr metadata to files without also going through the matching and rename process.

And when filles are already well named ?

[rednoah]

Well, then you still have to process them again, with the added confidence that you can probably mostly skip user interaction this time around.


Strict Mode might be helpful when re-processing files into new folder structure without user interaction:
