Need script to delete unrared file after moving

[sjboyd891]

I am using Filebot with Utorrent and have it extract, rename, and move the file to a media folder that is monitored by Plex.

I've been using this for several months, but somehow JUST realized that it is extracting it within the torrent, renaming a copy and putting it into the plex folder, but then an entire duplicate of the original extracted file is left within the torrent folder (i.e. it's not actually moving it, it's copying it). This is, effectively, doubling the size of each torrent folder and taking up a lot of space. How do I get the script to delete just the folder/file it's created during the unrar before copying it to another folder, but NOT let it delete the actual torrent, as I want to continue to seed it?

I've attached a screenshot of an example torrent that shows a folder created within the original torrent. Within the folder I circled is now the unrared video file. I want that file, and that created folder that houses that file, to be deleted after filebot has done it's thing. I just want the original torrent to be left.

Thanks for your help!

In the amc script you'd have to set --def clean=y to auto-delete these files after copy/hardlink.


Getting rid of that afterwards will be hard though. How can we know what should be deleted? Rename history tells us the files. How do we know if it's an extracted file? Check the torrent files? Guess if the parent folder contains an archive?

Not impossible but it sure is a bit work.

Easiest way might be to cross check all the files you have against the torrent file entries and delete what's not in any of the torrents. That's easiest but only works if you still have all the torrent files.

Hey there! I have the exact same problem but with a couple of exceptions:
1. I'm on OS X, 10.8.2
2. The script I am currently using was working for several years until my server failed and I had to rollback to a one month old backup. My script worked during that month, so I'm not sure what the issue is.

So, like the OP, FileBot is also not deleting unarchived files after moving them and is instead just copying them, in the exact same way that FB is behaving for the OP.

Here is my script that Transmission uses:

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash
/Applications/Filebot.app/Contents/MacOS/filebot.sh -script fn:amc --output "/Volumes/joan/media" --log-file "/Users/xxx/amc.log" --action copy --conflict override -non-strict --def artwork=y --def music=y "ut_dir=$TR_TORRENT_DIR/$TR_TORRENT_NAME" "ut_kind=multi" "ut_title=$TR_TORRENT_NAME" --def plex=localhost

Again, this script has been deleting the extracted archive after move/copy for some years... To be certain, I want to keep the archives so as to share them.

And here is the log output:

Code: Select all

Parameter: music = y

Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks so much for the great product and support!

May have just figured it out... change "--action copy" to "--action move"?

Strange that this was working for so long before... a recent change in FileBot, maybe (I had been using 4.1 or so before the server restore where I updated to 4.5.6)?

I'll edit this post tonight/tomorrow after I've verified if this change works or not.

[rednoah]

--def clean=y Automatically remove empty folders and clutter files that may be left behind after moving the video files or temporary extracted files after copying

The behaviour of --def clean=y is different depending on wether you use --action copy or --action move.

This should work just fine, and has been for years:

Code: Select all

--action copy --def clean=y

[greynation]

Is it possible to have either the AMC or Cleaner script simply monitor a parent folder and when a child folder's contained video file is removed, then delete the child folder and all files within?

[rednoah]

I'm sure it's possible. Maybe this will give a few ideas: viewtopic.php?f=4&t=2152
