filebot can't use existing script (renall)

It's been a while since I ran a scan for my TV shows and since then, there was an OS upgrade as well (Debian 10->11). There's this command I use in one of my scripts but now it refuses to work, and I don't fully understand why.
Code: Select all
filebot --encoding UTF-8 -rename --db xattr --action symlink --format "$SYMLINK_TEMP_BASE/$TARGET_TV/
{
plex.derive{
def x = model.count{ [it.ext, it.episode, it.lang] == [ext, episode, any{m.lang.ISO2}{null}] }
return x > 1 ? \" - part\$di\" : null
}.tail
}
" -script fn:renall "$PATH_TV"
I get this error:
Code: Select all
Starting filebot rename pass...

Could you give hints on what's wrong? The groovy script does exist:
Code: Select all
$ ls -l ~media/filebot/scripts/renall.groovy
-rw-r--r-- 1 media media 640 Aug 18 2018 /home/media/filebot/scripts/renall.groovy

Just to note, this works:
Code: Select all
... -script /home/media/filebot/scripts/renall.groovy ...

The
renall script has been discontinued and removed years ago because it served no particular purpose that isn't better served by standard
filebot commands or other scripts.
-script fn:name and
-script dev:name refer to scripts in the
script repository and
not local files. You can of course run your own local scripts.
Why are you not just using
filebot -rename instead?
Code: Select all
filebot -rename -r "$PATH_TV" --db xattr --action symlink --output "$SYMLINK_TEMP_BASE/$TARGET_TV" --format /path/to/format.groovy
Code: Select all
{
plex.derive{
def x = model.count{ [it.ext, it.episode, it.lang] == [ext, episode, any{m.lang.ISO2}{null}] }
return x > 1 ? " - part$di" : null
}.tail
}
Use the
@file syntax for reading command-line arguments from external text files. Not strictly necessary, but passing complex arguments on the command-line is best avoided.

Thanks for the hints. I don't remember why I used the renall script in my shell script, I wrote it several years ago. All I want is to create symlinks that follow the Plex naming requirements in a temp directory, then in a separate step I convert all the generated symlinks absolute in the final target dir, since IIRC abs. links are not supported with filebot. I'll follow your recommendations WRT changing the command line script into an external one, it looks cleaner.

Re-organize previously organized files using local xattr metadata is been added to the docs as general example for this kind of use case.
You can configure FileBot to create absolute symlinks like so with somewhat recent versions:
Code: Select all
filebot -script fn:properties --def net.filebot.symlink=absolute
EDIT:
We might replace
net.filebot.symlink in favour of a dedicated
--action AbsoluteSymlink if the use case where to come up more often, especially on Windows. On Linux and macOS, all custom use cases are generally covered via the
--action /path/to/custom-shell-script.sh option. I've added a
create-absolute-symlinks example to the docs.

I'm using xattrs to store metadata so this might be a good fit. It also seems there are changes in functionality that make my life a bit easier. I'll try what's best for my use case, thanks.
