Getting renaming script to work in Ubuntu?

[joelwfl]

Hi. Im having a hard tinme getting this script to work: http://filebot.net/scripts/sorty.groovy


Im unsure hos I get it to work. I see this part in the .groovy file: // PERSONALIZED SETTINGS def episodeDir = '''V:/in/TV''' def episodeFormat = '''V:/out/TV/{n}{'/Season '+s}/{episode}''' def movieDir = '''V:/in/Movies''' def movieFormat = '''V:/out/Movies/{movie}/{movie}'''.


Should i edit that part to get it to work, like replacing the episodeDir with my own dir, and IF so, should i keep the V: (not quite Sture how i ahould change it), or should I let it be and use the CLI to specify folder?


I have my Media in /media/W/TV, running Ubuntu and want to use thw cli. Would very much appreciate aome hel o. this matter of renaming my files and storting thwm in folders.

...Otherwise, IF someone could post an alternative way for me to reste proper season and series folders and then rename all episodes.

Sorty is just an example. Learn from it and write your own solution.

I guess this simple call will already get you very far:

Code: Select all

filebot -script fn:renall /media/W/TV --db thetvdb -non-strict

The sort into folders part comes with adding --format:

And you can run with --action test first to try it out.

Thank you so much for the help!

Found this format expression: X:/TV Shows/{n}/Season {s.pad(2)}/{n} - {s00e00} - {t}

How do I add it to my command (filebot -script fn:renall /media/W/TV --db thetvdb -non-strict)? Can I create a file of some sorts to contain both the command and the expression?

How can i add the format? Can it be added to the command line command like filebot -script fn:renall /media/W/TV --db thetvdb -non-strict --format X:/TV Shows/{n}/Season {s.pad(2)}/{n} - {s00e00} - {?

Yes. But you need to learn how to pass cmdline arguments first, i.e. to correctly quote and escape the format expression.

Once you have your command u can copy it into a shell script. That's as basic as it gets. Find more info on google.
