how can I exclude a series/movie name from a rename call?

filebot is installed on FreeBSD, ssh from MacOS the call is

Code: Select all

filebot -script fn:amc --db TheTVDB --output "/path/to/plex/" -no-xattr --format {plex} --action hardlink -non-strict -r "/path/to/done/series" --log-file amc.log --def excludeList=amc.txt 
or

Code: Select all

filebot -script fn:amc --db TheMovieDB --output "/path/to/plex/" -no-xattr --format {plex} --action hardlink -non-strict -r "/path/to/done/movies" --log-file amc.log --def excludeList=amc.txt 
Both are in a script that is called when a new movie or episode is detected in a folder on FreeBSD (via Hazel in MacOS). Plex is setup to scan once a day or when new item is detected.

on a very rare occasion, a Movie from /path/to/movies will be renamed to /path/to/plex/The Cinema Snob/random movie name only once has the Cinema Snob movie matched the movie just wrong part (Hellraiser was the movie series but the wrong part/number/year)

TL;DR - how can I edit the call to force filebot to NEVER match with "The Cinema Snob"

Please posts logs with file paths so I can run a few tests myself so I can help you find a solution.

e.g.

Code: Select all

--filter "n != /The Cinema Snob/"
or

Code: Select all

--filter "id != 265932"

That's a possible workaround. But I'll need the original file path to fix the issue at the source.

There's probably a term like "cinema" in the folder structure that somehow hasn't been blacklisted yet.

Please provide file paths so i can fix things for everyone.

folder structure is '/zpool/done/cine/` forgot where to find logs on FreeBSD. I suppose the folder name could be an issue, though I presumed filebot would only "look" and subfolders and not consider the parent folder name

Well, if it can't find a good match at first glance, then it'll look at more things deeper.

I guess it'll come up with cine something because it's still better than nothing at all.

I'll add cine to the exclude list: viewtopic.php?f=3&t=359
