If I understand correctly the
-rename command requires changing the name of the file before applying
xattr and, for example I'm unable to combine the
-list command with the AMC script which makes it a bit more difficult to use for me with complex rename formats.
In my case using the following:
works quite alright, however when I try to do:
Code: Select all
filebot -list -rename a.mkv --db TheTVDB --q Firefly --filter "s00e00 == /S00E01/" --format @seriesFormat.groovy
it throws a syntax-related error (the format works fine in the GUI too).
Also if multiple rename cycle update the
xattr that stores the original filename, part of the information could be lost.
I agree that the
-list command is the solution for matching, for example in this case:
Code: Select all
show.s01e03.mkv => S01E02
show.s01e04.mkv => S01E04
it could force the episodes to match, however the requirement on the rename action I feel is unnecessary.
The matching could happen, information stored in the
xattr and the file processed using AMC as any other file without a chance for mismatch.
