Collection and Genre sorting script

[zedd]

I'm trying to get filebot to sort movies into collections as well as genres. I have some scripts hacked out, but thought I should check to make sure I wasn't missing anything. I think I have to run filebot twice to do this, as I haven't seen any mention of a way to process the same file twice.

Command 1 only hardlinks movies that are in collections into a Collections folder.

Code: Select all

filebot -script fn:amc -rename -r /nasty/Media/Movies/unsorted --db themoviedb --action hardlink --output "/nasty/Media/Movies/Collections/" --def movieFormat={collection}/{plex.name} --filter collection --log-file amc.log --def excludeList=col1.txt

So for the 2045-2053 Batman collection, it outputs:

/nasty/Media/Movies/Collections/Batman's Fake Collection/Riddler (2050).mkv

Command 2 hardlinks all of the files into genre folders, starting with animation and science fiction.

Code: Select all

filebot -script fn:amc -rename -r /nasty/Media/Movies/unsorted --db themoviedb --action hardlink --output "/nasty/Media/Movies" --format "{genres  =~ 'Animation' ? 'Animation/' : {genres  =~ 'Science Fiction' ? 'Science Fiction/' : genres[0]}}/{plex}/{plex.name}" --log-file amc.log --def excludeList=gen1.txt

So the output for Batman's live action Space Adventure would be:

/nasty/Media/Movies/Science Fiction/Space Batman (2022)/Space Batman (2022).mkv

Batman (1966) would be:

/nasty/Media/Movies/Comedy/Batman (1966)/Batman (1966).mkv

I have some concerns with this set up. Since I have to process everything twice, I'm worried about upsetting themoviedb, and everyone else this might be pinging.
What happens if a movie isn't a collection when the script is run, but then later becomes one? Does Filebot do a check to see if a previous movie in a new collection has already been processed?

Thanks in advance!

If you're using the amc script to process movies, then I recommend forcing movie mode:

Code: Select all

--def ut_label=Movie

The --db option is ignored by the amc script and has no effect.


2.
I recommend using -rename --db xattr on the second pass, or third or n-th pass:

Code: Select all

filebot -rename --db xattr ...

viewtopic.php?t=324

e.g.

Code: Select all

filebot -rename -r "/path/to/Media/Movies" --db xattr --action hardlink --output "/path/to/Movies By Collection" --filter collection --format "{collection}/{plex.name}"

--filter collection is used to include only movie files that belong to a collection.


3.
I recommend having one xattr-tagged primary structure processed and named using the amc script with {plex} binding, and then you can have an arbitrary number of mirrored secondary structures that you can be build and re-build on demand from the primary structure (e.g. when a movie was added to a collection later on, and you want to re-organize your file structure accordingly).

You will find the examples listed here very inspiring:

This seems like the right place and I have thus far been unable to find a solution to my problem. I am attempting to sort my movie collection in to genre folders, but I want to set the order of presedence for the genres that Filebot put them in to. For example, lets say a movie returns the result of

Code: Select all

/path.to.movies/Crime-Thriller-Action/name.of.movie.mp4 

How do I set filebot to change it to Action-Crime-Thriller?

Here is my current script that I am running on MacOS with GUI, Im not opposed to CLI as I also use that from time to time.

Additional issuesquestions with the expression I am using:

I would like to force filebot to look at IMDB for the genre, is this possible the way I have it written or is it still only going to look at TheMovieDB?

When no rating is returned it is expressing it as 0.0 instead of "NR" as I was hoping my expression would do. Im ok with the 0.0, just wondering why it behaves this way or how to change it, if possible.

Code: Select all

../{any{imdb.genre}{genres.take(3).join('-')}}/{n} ({y}) [{any{imdb.certification}{certification}{"NR"}}, {any{imdb.rating}{rating}{"NR"}}, {vf}]/{n} ({y}) [{any{imdb.certification}{certification}{"NR"}}, {any{imdb.rating}{rating}{"NR"}}, {vf}]

e.g. take the first 3 genres, and sort them alphabetically, and then join them with dashes:

Code: Select all

genres.take(3).toSorted().join('-')

Code: Select all

Drama-Science-Fiction

FileBot does not support IMDb, but OMDb should more or less give you the same information:

Code: Select all

omdb.genres.take(3).toSorted().join('-')

Note that there is no {imdb} binding, so those bits of your code always fail.


2.
Please give an example of a movie that has no rating / 0 rating. I'll need samples for testing, otherwise I can't give you a well-tested solution.

Understood on the alphabetical sort. Thanks for that! However, what I am trying to do is set and order or precedence for the genre sorting of movies.

Example:

Order of Precedence
1. Animation
2. Musical
3. Documentary
4. Horror
5. Action
6. Comedy
7. Crime
8. Family
9. Adventure

Therefore, after running:
Bad Boys would be found in file path of: ./Action/Action-Comedy-Crime/Bad Boys (1994)/Bad Boys (1994).mp4
WALL-E would be found in file path of: ./Animation/Animation-Family-Adventure/WALL-E(2008)/WALL-E (2008).mp4
World War Z would be found in file path of: ./Horror/Horror-Action-Adventure/World War Z (2013)/World War Z (2013).mp4

Thoughts on how to do this?

The movie Bare Knuckle Brawler returned with: Bare Knuckle Brawler (2019) [NR, 0.0, 1080p].mp4

Based off of an old post I found I have written this to a text file as my "map" How do I implement it in to a command line call of filebot on a folder of videos?

Code: Select all

{	

def genreOrder = ['Animation': 1, 'Musical': 2, 'Documentary': 3, 'Family': 4, 'History': 5, 'Science Fiction': 6, 'Horror': 7, 'Fantasy': 8, 'War': 9, 'Western': 10, 'Action': 11, 'Comedy': 12, 'Crime': 13, 'Thriller': 14, 'Adventure': 15, 'Mystery': 16, 'Romance': 17, 'Drama': 18]

}

Am I even on the right path here??

I still need the final out put to be ex: ./Action/Action-Comedy-Crime/Bad Boys (1994)/Bad Boys (1994).mp4 for the movie Bad Boys

Thanks in advance!

List.toSorted() will sort by name by default. But you can of course use your own comparison function, e.g. with your own priority map as detailed above. It's just format code, so it'll work the same in both GUI and CLI (use the GUI for efficient prototyping!!!) and you probably have already found copy & paste solutions here in the forums.

e.g.

Format: Select all

{
	def genreOrder = ['Animation': 1, 'Comedy': 2, 'Horror': 3, 'Science-Fiction': 4, 'Adventure': 5, 'Romance': 6, 'Drama': 7, 'Action': 8].withDefault{ 100 }
	genres.toSorted{ genreOrder[it] }
}

Hey brother, I have no idea how to utilize this to get the intended result. Here is what I have

Code: Select all

{
	def genreOrder = ['Animation': 1, 'Musical': 2, 'Documentary': 3, 'Family': 4, 'History': 5, 'Science Fiction': 6, 'Horror': 7, 'Fantasy': 8, 'War': 9, 'Western': 10, 'Action': 11, 'Comedy': 12, 'Crime': 13, 'Thriller': 14, 'Adventure': 15, 'Mystery': 16, 'Romance': 17, 'Drama': 18].withDefault{ 100 }
	genres.toSorted{ genreOrder[it] }}
/{n} ({y})/{n} ({y})

When applied to Avatar it gives

Code: Select all

/path/Science Fiction, Fantasy, Action, Adventure/Avatar (2009)/Avatar (2009)

Gotta remove the space in Science Fiction somehow also and replace with Science-Fiction or Sci-Fi - i know normally you would use .replace('Science Fiction', 'Sci-Fi') but no matter where I put it in the above code, it didn't work.

So it is def accepting the order, however, I need the path to have 2 separate genre folders. In this case the first folder would be Science Fiction
and the second folder would be Science Fiction-Fantasy-Action

Code: Select all

/path/to/file/Sci-Fi/Sci-Fi-Fantasy-Action/Avatar (2009)/Avatar (2009).mp4

	def map = ['Science Fiction': 'Sci-Fi']
	def genres = genres.toSorted{ order[it] }*.replace(map)
	genres.first() / genres.take(3).join('-')
}

Code: Select all

This is great! Only question I have is how do I add a {'No Genre'} in to the code? I tried it a few ways and no matter what, when I ran the rename/editor it gave 'No Genre' for every movie.

[rednoah]

e.g.

Code: Select all

{
	any
	{
		def order = ['Animation': 1, 'Musical': 2, 'Documentary': 3, 'Family': 4, 'History': 5, 'Science Fiction': 6, 'Horror': 7, 'Fantasy': 8, 'War': 9, 'Western': 10, 'Action': 11, 'Comedy': 12, 'Crime': 13, 'Thriller': 14, 'Adventure': 15, 'Mystery': 16, 'Romance': 17, 'Drama': 18].withDefault{ 100 }
		def map = ['Science Fiction': 'Sci-Fi']
		def genres = genres.toSorted{ order[it] }*.replace(map)
		genres.first() / genres.take(3).join('-')
	}
	{
		'No Genre'
	}
}
