Basic movie rename

[p11ps]

First of all, I should thank you for this amazing application, it is as max useful as possible. Here is my question.

Until today, I was using the GUI mode to rename all my TV shows, but now I want to rename all my movies and I have an excessive quantity in a remote server to make it with GUI (it takes too much time to get {vf}, standard video format and {af}, audio format). What I want to do is something like this, but in cmd mode:

{n} ({y}) {vf} {af} --> The Man from Earth (2007) 720p 6ch (I prefer to get it with spanish title, if possible).

An extra problem is that I have more than one version for some of these movies (720p, 1080p, 2160p...), so I don't know how will FileBot works if it finds 2 movies with similar name, video and audio format.

I've been reading before open this thread (some of them):

But I cannot find the correct way to make it working so, please, could someone take a look and give me some tip?

Thank you so much!

What have you tried so far? What's not working?

Looks like you already know the format you want, so now you just need to call filebot from the command-line.

e.g.

Code: Select all

filebot -rename -r /path/to/test/files --db TheMovieDB -non-strict --output /new/movies --format "{ny} {vf} {af}" --action TEST

Hey rednoah,

That's what I was trying to do, (something similar but I will use yours now). This is my current command:

Code: Select all

filebot -rename /root/cloud/gd-video/decrypt/films/ --db TheMovieDB --lang es --format "{n} ({y}) {vf} {af}" -non-strict

The problem is that it does not take the {vf} {af} value, it just changes the filename to movie name + year. I don't know if I should do anything different before.

Also, I have more than movies with different video formats and some of them could be exactly the same. Right now, as it is not getting {vf} and {af}, some files can't be changed (it says the file already exists). I don't know how to address this situation.

Thank you for your amazing app and for your help!

I found a solution with trial and error, but there is another problem when the rename method starts to read .nfo files, which is that it shows an error:

Code: Select all

Failed to grep IMDbID: moviename.nfo

Of course it does not get info (even doesn't create the .nfo file). I was searching in Google but didn't find anything clear. Maybe you have any idea of why it's happening.

Thank you so much!

Doesn't matter. If you have *.nfo files then FileBot will read them, but if they don't contain any useful information then FileBot will log a warning and move on. You can ignore these kind of warnings in your case.

Hey!

The warning appears for all the files in the directory, it's strange. It renames the movies without problems but it does not add the {vf} {af} data because it cannot read any .nfo file ! I don't know if you know what I mean

I found that I should execute this script to generate them!

Code: Select all

filebot -script fn:artwork.tmdb /path/to/movies/

I'll do it and come back with the feedback

Edit: Now it says this...

net.filebot.mediainfo.MediaInfoException: Unable to load amd64 (64-bit) native library libmediainfo.so: Unable to load library 'mediainfo': Native library (linux-x86-64/libmediainfo.so) not found in resource path ([file:/usr/share/filebot/FileBot.jar])

OMG

Edit2: Fixed libmediainfo.so issue, but the script says:

Skipping /path/to/download
Done ヾ(＠⌒ー⌒＠)ノ

I didn't find anything Googling!

1.
NFO files are not used for this purpose and have nothing to do with MediaInfo bindings.

MediaInfo bindings such as {vf} or {af} are based on the video file itself:
viewtopic.php?f=5&t=4285


2.
The script will expect a well-organized file structure. So if you run it on a random file structure it won't work.

I got it working now, thank you for all your help.
