AMC script not processing TV Series properly

Post by vexx01 »

Hello,

I have a folder with a lot of movies and TV series inside. I'm trying to organize it using the AMC script for filebot.

While the script has done an amazing job with almost all movies, it doesn't seem to work with TV Series at all.

To be specific it doesn't recognize them as a TV series but as a movies instead, even if I try to force it to use TVDB over MovieDB using --def "ut_label=TV", but it doesn't seem to work at all.

Here is the code I'm using:

Code: Select all

filebot -script fn:amc --output "E:/test" --log-file amc.log --action hardlink --conflict override -non-strict "E:/Torrents/Movies" --def excludeList=amc.txt --def music=y subtitles=bg artwork=y --def "ignore=sub|srt|nfo"
Now, as I said, it has done miracles to movies, but hasn't been able to identify not even one series. "Friends.S02.UNCUT.DVDRip.XviD-SAiNTS"has become Friends (2001), "Black.Sails.S01.HDTV.x264-MiXED" has become Black (2014) and so on.

I have tested the script many times using one folder with episodes at a time, but without any luck.

So, if you guys have an idea what I might be doing wrong, please share.

Any help will be highly appreciated.

Thank you in advance!

My first guess would be your not telling it what episode (E??) it is. You are only telling it the season (S02).
"Friends.S02.UNCUT.DVDRip.XviD-SAiNTS"
If it is Friends season 2 episode 1 then rename the file "Friends.S02E01.UNCUT.DVDRip.XviD-SAiNTS" and see if that fixes your issue.

Hello and thanks for the reply.

However, this ("Friends.S02.UNCUT.DVDRip.XviD-SAiNTS") is just the parent directory for season two. Inside it there is a separate directories for each episode and they are all named in that fashion - "Friends.S02E01.UNCUT.DVDRip.XviD-SAiNTS" and also the video files have the episode number in their names as well.

Plus I have a lot of TV Series in my Movies folder and not even one of them is being recognized properly by the script, which is not the case when I do it manually from the GUI.

For troubleshooting purposes I have executed the script for another TV Series - Black Sails:

Code: Select all

E:\test>filebot -script fn:amc --output "E:/test" --log-file amc2.log --action hardlink --conflict override -non-strict "E:/Torrents/Movies/Black.Sails.S01.HDTV.x264-MiXED" --def excludeList=amc2.txt --def music=y subtitles=bg artwork=y --def "ignore=sub|srt|nfo"
And here is the content of amc2.log:

Code: Select all

Parameter: excludeList = amc2.txt
Parameter: music = y
Parameter: subtitles = bg
Parameter: artwork = y
Parameter: ignore = sub|srt|nfo

You can clearly see that it is using TheMovieDB instead of TheTVDB. And even if I force it with "ut_label=TV", it is still using TheMovieDB. I don't know why that is, but I feel like I tried everything.

So, any other suggestions are welcome.

Hope that log is helpful.

Re: AMC script not processing TV Series properly

I have the exact same issue.

I can't force it to be TV. It finds movies fine, but matches TV as Movies, or ignores TV all together.

Calling with my test script:

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash
filebot -script fn:amc --output "$HOME/Movies/Media" --log-file amc.log --action move -non-strict --conflict skip -non-strict "$HOME/Movies/Torrented" --def "seriesFormat=$HOME/Movies/Media/'TV Shows'/{n}/{'Season '+s.pad(2)}/{n} - {S00E00} - {t}" --def "movieFormat=$HOME/Movies/Media/Movies/{n} [{y}]" --def clean=y
And here's the output...

Code: Select all

Parameter: seriesFormat = /Users/blagh/Movies/Media/'TV Shows'/{n}/{'Season '+s.pad(2)}/{n} - {S00E00} - {t}
Parameter: movieFormat = /Users/blagh/Movies/Media/Movies/{n} [{y}]

I figured out my issue by going deeper into the forum... I was using the 'Movies' directory. Changed that to 'Media', all works well. Suggest you try a different folder that doesn't use 'Movies'.

Hello mrpeanut,

That worked like a charm! :)

Thank you !

Now I only have one issue, but its not related to filebot or amc, but with uTorrent. Because when I rename my Movies folder it breaks all torrents inside and stop seeding. And there are way too many torrents to just reallocate them manually from the GUI.

But I will figure it out somehow, anyway thanks once again.

Instead of relocating torrents you should look into organizing files into a new structure via copy, symlink or hardlink.

That's exactly what I'm doing (take a look at my first post). However my original files were downloaded into folder /Torrents/Movies (there are both movies and tv shows inside) and when I execute amc script for that folder it doesn't recognize tv shows as such. Instead it thinks they are movies and uses TheMovieDB for them. So as a workaround I renamed the original folder "Movies" to "Media" and now the script works like a charm. The only problem is that this breaks the torrents and I cannot seed them unless I use "set download location..." (uTorrent)

1. Kill uTorrent
2. Rename Movies to Media
3. Symlink Media to Movies
4. Restart uTorrent
