Move movies on different drives depending on year

[Catmal]

My amc.sh script is

Code: Select all

filebot -script fn:amc --output "/mnt/Secondary" --def subtitles=en,it "seriesFormat=/mnt/TV Shows/TV Shows/{n}/Season {s}/{n} - {s00e00} - {t}{'.'+lang}" "movieFormat=/mnt/Secondary/Movies/{n} ({y}){'.'+lang}" --db OpenSubtitles --action move "/mnt/Secondary/Movies/Completed" -non-strict 

I would like movies to be moved on different drives depending on year.

For instance I have a drive /mnt/New Media/Movies/ where to place all movies that came out after 2012.
Or another one /mnt/Movies/Movies for movies that came out before year 2000.
And another /mnt/Movies 2/Movies for movies between 2000 and 2012.

How can i implement conditinal logic to move movies on correct drives?

Sure, you can do something like this in your custom format.

e.g. expression:

Code: Select all

y < 2000 ? 'Pre-2000' : y < 2012 ? 'Pre-2012' : 'New Media'

e.g. format:

Code: Select all

/mnt/{y < 2000 ? 'Pre-2000' : y < 2012 ? 'Pre-2012' : 'New Media'}/{plex}

I think I was not clear.

Let say I want all movies before 2012 to go to /mnt/Old Movies/Movies. /mnt/Old Movies is drive mounting point, Movies is the folder name. Movies will go in this folder without another folder for each single movie. Folder movies contains movie files. Final result is /mnt/Old Movies/Movies/Mission Impossible (1996).mkv.
All the other Movies should go to /mnt/New Movies/Movies. /mnt/New Movies/ is the mounting point and Movies is the folder. Final result is /mnt/New Movies/Movies/Unsane (2018).mkv.

Something like:

Code: Select all

filebot -script fn:amc --output "/mnt/New Movies" --def subtitles=en,it "seriesFormat=/mnt/TV Shows/TV Shows/{n}/Season {s}/{n} - {s00e00} - {t}{'.'+lang}" "movieFormat=/mnt/{y < 2000 ? 'Old Movies/Movies/{n} ({y}){'.'+lang}' : 'New Movies/Movies/{n} ({y}){'.'+lang}'}" --db OpenSubtitles --action move "/mnt/Secondary/Movies/Completed" -non-strict

Yep, my solution covers that. Just replace Pre-2000 in my example with Old Movies for your use case. What's unclear?

e.g.

Code: Select all

/mnt/{y < 2000 ? 'Old Movies' : 'New Movies'}/Movies/{n} ({y}){'.'+lang}

You can start with an {expression} if you want completely different paths for different files as well. Same concept applies:

Code: Select all

{y < 2000 ? '/volume1/Old Movies' : '/volume2/pool3/New Movies'}/Movies/{n} ({y}){'.'+lang}

You can of course write arbitrary code, or write your format as all code in a single {expression}, but that's not necessary in this simple use case, and would require basic Groovy skills.

Right I misunderstood first example.

Works perfectly now. Thanks!
