Overwrite file when PROPER release is downloaded

Post by colicab »

The title says what I would like to do.

I had a situation where an episode was downloaded but there was a glitch in that release which made subtitles go out of sync.

Using FlexGet i can re-download an episode when a 'PROPER' release is out. Often this is one without the problem of the previous release.
Can I get Filebot to, somehow, recognize this release as better and overwrite the existing one in my TV show database?


Thanks in advance!

In the cmdline you can set --conflict override. The logic you describe would have to be written as external script though.

OK thnx for the info.

I guess for me it would suffice to use this extra option because FlexGet outputs only the original release and the PROPER.

With --action override, as long as the PROPER gets processed last it'll work because it'll just override whats there before.
