OSX - Filebot first - Harlink second :)

[shadoc]

Good morning all,

In these difficult times, confined to France, I automate a lot of action ... I have been using Filebot in drag'n'drop for a while and I just understood that we could also automate this.
Thanks to @rednoah who explains a lot. I read and reread these posts but I block quickly given my level.
Before automating I try to get the script to work in Terminal.

After installing Brew and updating the packages I test

Code: Select all

filebot -script fn:sysinfo

and i've

Code: Select all

Done ヾ(＠⌒ー⌒＠)ノ

I test this :

Code: Select all

script fn:amc --output "/Volumes/HDD_2/Test" --action hardlink --conflict override -non-strict --log-file amc.log --def unsorted=y music=y artwork=n "ut_label=" "ut_title=%N" "ut_kind=multi" "ut_dir=%F" movieFormat="{genres.contains('Animation') ? 'Animation' : 'Films'} / {plex.name}" --lang fr

But i've this:

Code: Select all

Script started, output file is fn:amc
script: --output: No such file or directory

Script done, output file is fn:amc

[rednoah]

filebot commands start with filebot:

Code: Select all

filebot ...

Please read the Run from cmdline section of the amc script manual for details on command-line usage.

Ok so sorry @rednoah

I Test this :

Code: Select all

filebot -script fn:amc --output "Volumes/HDD_2/Test" --action duplicate --conflict override -non-strict --log-file amc.log --def unsorted=y music=y artwork=n "ut_label=" "ut_title=%N" "ut_kind=multi" "ut_dir=%F" movieFormat="{genres.contains('Animation') ? 'Animation' : 'Films'} / {plex.name}" --lang fr

I've this :

Code: Select all

Locking /Volumes/HDD_1/.filebot/logs/amc.log
Run script [fn:amc] at [Thu Mar 19 19:43:30 CET 2020]
Parameter: unsorted = y
Parameter: music = y
Parameter: artwork = n

Bad ut_title value: %N
Bad ut_dir value: %F
Illegal usage: output folder must exist and must be a directory: /Volumes/HDD_1/Volumes/HDD_2/Test

If i modifi my output and create Test in my Volume HDD_1

Code: Select all

filebot -script fn:amc --output "Test" --action duplicate --conflict override -non-strict --log-file amc.log --def unsorted=y music=y artwork=n "ut_label=" "ut_title=%N" "ut_kind=multi" "ut_dir=%F" movieFormat="{genres.contains('Animation') ? 'Animation' : 'Films'} / {plex.name}" --lang fr

I've this :

Hi @rednoah and thank you

In the file I have the impression that he has applied it and not created a link because the 2 .mkv files are the same weight.

It may be normal but I would like to have a confirmation please because my goal is not to have 2 copies ^^

[rednoah]

Yes, both files have the same file size, because both files are the same file. The physical data on disk exists only once though.


Please read up on how files work:

Please read this detailed exploration of how files work as well:

Ok thanks @rednoah

I also noticed that the copy times were strangely super fast

I wonder if I can execute 2 scipts at the end of DL. In order to scan 2 different HDDs?

The hardlink works very well, however I find it difficult to achieve certain orders.

On the one hand here is my functional code:

Code: Select all

/usr/local/bin/filebot -script fn:amc --output "/Volumes/HDD_3/Films" --action hardlink -non-strict "/Volumes/HDD_3/Torrents/DL" --log-file amc.log --def excludeList=amc.txt --def unsorted=y music=y artwork=n "ut_label=" "ut_kind=multi" --lang fr

I manage to separate the subcategories (Animation / Films):

Code: Select all

/usr/local/bin/filebot -script fn:amc --output "/Volumes/HDD_3/Films" --action hardlink -non-strict "/Volumes/HDD_3/Torrents/DL" --log-file amc.log --def excludeList=amc.txt --def unsorted=y music=y artwork=n "ut_label=" "ut_title=%N" "ut_kind=multi" "ut_dir=%F" movieFormat="{genres.contains('Animation') ? 'Animation' : 'Films'} /{plex.name}" --lang fr

Now I would like to have another entry in + ie 2 HDD.

Can I add a second line below? What syntax to adopt?

Here I put && knowing that it will not go :

Code: Select all

/usr/local/bin/filebot -script fn:amc --output "/Volumes/HDD_3/Films" --action hardlink -non-strict "/Volumes/HDD_3/Torrents/DL" --log-file amc.log --def excludeList=amc.txt --def unsorted=y music=y artwork=n "ut_label=" "ut_title=%N" "ut_kind=multi" "ut_dir=%F" movieFormat="{genres.contains('Animation') ? 'Animation' : 'Films'} /{plex.name}" --lang fr && /usr/local/bin/filebot -script fn:amc --output "/Volumes/HDD_2/Films" --action hardlink -non-strict "/Volumes/HDD_2/Torrents/DL" --log-file amc.log --def excludeList=amc.txt --def unsorted=y music=y artwork=n "ut_label=" "ut_title=%N" "ut_kind=multi" "ut_dir=%F" movieFormat="{genres.contains('Animation') ? 'Animation' : 'Films'} /{plex.name}" --lang fr
