Hi,

So I'm getting this error for when filebot is processing my torrents. I've tried looking all around for help but I can't find anything that seems to of worked.

The directory is owned by my user group 1000:1000 in which filebot is installed on and I can access the directory normally as well. I just can't work out what's going on.

Thanks

What does this say?

Code: Select all

file /home/<username>/Cloud

Maybe this will do the trick:

Code: Select all

mkdir /home/<username>/Cloud

If it's working for you, but not for rtorrent, then it's likely because the user that rtorrent is running has, doesn't have permissions for your user home, which would be reasonable default permissions.

Hiya,

I did your command and I got the following;

Code: Select all

/home/<username>/Cloud: directory

I tried making the Directory and got this;

Code: Select all

mkdir: cannot create directory ‘/home/<username>/Cloud’: File exists

Running the script manually is fine and works like a treat. Anything I can look at for rutorrent permissions then?

[j66454]

Just to add to this, when using the file manager in rutorrent I can see the directories etc. I also ensured that I did;

Code: Select all

sudo chown -R 1000:1000 /home/<username>/Cloud

to ensure that permissions etc are fine. Any other ideas?

[rednoah]

I'd add all these tests to your post-process script, because that's the perspective that matters, and then check what comes back:

Code: Select all

# Configuration
CONFIG_OUTPUT="/home/<username>/Cloud"

whoami > /tmp/whoami.txt 2>&1
printenv > /tmp/printenv.txt 2>&1
file "$CONFIG_OUTPUT" > /tmp/file.txt 2>&1
ls -l "$CONFIG_OUTPUT" > /tmp/ls.txt 2>&1
mkdir "$CONFIG_OUTPUT" > /tmp/mkdir.txt 2>&1

filebot -script fn:amc --output "$CONFIG_OUTPUT" ...

So I've added the suggested things into my post-processing script, but when torrents download, it now doesn't run and I don't get any new files or anything added into my log. Here is what it looks like;

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh -xu

# Input Parameters
ARG_PATH="$1"
ARG_NAME="$2"
ARG_LABEL="$3"

# Configuration
CONFIG_OUTPUT="/home/<username>/Cloud/"

whoami > /tmp/whoami.txt 2>&1
printenv > /tmp/printenv.txt 2>&1
file "$CONFIG_OUTPUT" > /tmp/file.txt 2>&1
ls -l "$CONFIG_OUTPUT" > /tmp/ls.txt 2>&1
mkdir "$CONFIG_OUTPUT" > /tmp/mkdir.txt 2>&1

filebot -script fn:amc --output "$CONFIG_OUTPUT"...

[rednoah]

If the script isn't called, then filebot isn't called, so the first step is to go back to the beginning and get your torrent client to call your script, any script:
