Need Help Converting my Script Into Python to Suppress Command Window
Posted: 31 Jan 2020, 15:47
I've been using my Filebot script executed by uTorrent for a long time and it's been running great. However lately I've noticed more games don't like it when these command windows popup, even though I try to suppress it with the "cmd /c START /MIN cmd /c filebot.exe". So I've been considering converting it to Python when I saw a thread here on the forums detailing how to do it, but as always I'm rather clueless about these scripts how to do it, as I didn't produce my own script for Filebot, and some nice people here on the forums helped me with that. Now I need help again and hope someone has the time to 'enlighten' me on how to do this

This is the script I use for uTorrent to execute:
Somehow that needs to be converted into this, and I'm completely lost here:

subprocess.run(command, creationflags=0x08000000)
You may or may not need absolute paths for all the executables or scripts depending on your %PATH% environment.
Since we're using pythonw we disable the console, and thus don't see error messages. For testing, we want to use python, and possibly remove creationflags=0x08000000 in the script so we get complete console log from the filebot call as well.
