Filebot does not work recursively (filebot -r -script fn:artwork.tmdb)

Hello,

I have installed Filebot 4.9.0 on Debian 10.0.3 x64

I want to use this command line :

Code: Select all

filebot -r -script fn:artwork.tmdb -non-strict /home/user/Vidéos/Films
But the -r argument does not work. Filebot does not see the subfolders in the Films folder.

It works if I use the same command line with the subfolder of the movie:

Code: Select all

filebot -r -script fn:artwork.tmdb -non-strict /home/user/Vidéos/Films/(2016) name-of-the-movie"
What should I do to make the

Code: Select all

-r
argument work?

Thanks!

The artwork.* scripts require an input folder as argument. By specifying -r the script is not passed a single input folder, but instead a set of files, i.e. the input folder argument is resolved recursively by filebot before being passed on to the script.

Code: Select all

filebot -script fn:artwork.tmdb /path/to/movies/

TL;DR -r breaks the script. Remove -r and it'll work.
