Auto-Extract rar

[cobbtm2003]

I was looking around on some sites including this one and i am let to believe that filebot is capable of extracting files that are in rar packages. a few of my downloads come down that way (the daily show mostly) and i usually have to extract them manually in order for filebot to take care of them. is there another way? i am using the amc script at the moment, my run command is as follows:

filebot -script fn:amc --output "W:" --log-file amc.log --action move --conflict override -non-strict --def ignore=BBC|bbc|PBS|pbs music=y artwork=n "ut_dir=%D" "ut_file=%F" "ut_kind=%K" "ut_title=%N" "ut_label=%L" "ut_state=%S" --def clean=y

most of the rar downloads i get are the multi-part rar files btw...any help is appreciated.

That should work by default. What does the log say about these archives?

did some googleing after seeing the logs...didnt know where they were at first. anyways, it says it cant load a 64 bit dll on a 32 bit system. used a fn:sysinfo i found in another forum post and it is reporting my windows 2003 as 32bit, even though its 64bit.

i assumed that there is some incompatibility with this old x64 os, and it seems java and utorrent are all running 32bit as well, so i just downloaded the 32bit msi for filebot from sourceforge, and installed it instead of the other one.

positive side affects were, it now does work on rar files, AND i no longer get this attrib error i always used to get in the logs.

so yeah...in short...its all working now. Thanks for your reply!

ummm...negative side affect, it doesn't seem to clean up the rar files. kind of makes sense, its meant to clean everything except media files, not a big deal really... if there is anything that can be done great, if not, i will just schedule something to go through and clean them out periodically.

ok, this works, i have noticed though...tvrage picks up the bbc episodes nearly 90% of the time perfectly, everything else works better with thetvdb. is there anyway i can run a separate scheduled run of the filebot command line, and force it to choose tvrage if the file structure contains bbc or pbs? sorry if this should have been a new topic.

No, but you could take the lead in entering the latest data about all these BBC shows into TheTVDB

i dont thing the issue is that they are not in thetvdb, because most of them are. the issue is when i download them they will say "...series1.2of6...". if i rename the file to say s01e02, the tvdb will pick it up fine. while tvrage seems to recognize the series/xofx format. if it was just a matter up adding the shows to thetvdb, i would. i already added and maintain 2 or 3 shows on there as it is. no biggy, i will just run them with tvrage once or twice a week. its not too much trouble. thanks!

Well, if you think it's a bug then send me the file paths. The logic you describe is definitely done client side so it should work for both or none.
