How to avoid changing file names

[veggav]

I've been using filebot for more than a year now but I need something different now.

All I want is to move my files would renaming.
My files are in /path/TV Show Title/Season xx/Name - SxxExx - Title.ext

I want to start fresh by just moving the files like so: /path/TV Show Title/everything here without changing the file name.
Since everything is are mostly scene releases this helps while figuring the best version later and finding the correct subtitle.

Also this avoids hitting the google api too hard leaving the need to open and leave several folders while you can have a single one per TV Show.

EDIT: found it! It's {fn} in case someone else wants to do the same.

If the files are already on Google Drive
Then you could just move them from the web-GUI: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders

If files are not on Google drive
1) You will hit the API, suggest checking out rclone to set this up worth looking at the arg: --fast-list https://rclone.org/docs/#fast-list

There are loads of options, here is what I use for my setup once rclone is installed and mounted to Mounted folder:

Code: Select all

rclone move "/home/media/path_of_TV_Shows_to_move/" "/home/Mount/gDrive/media/path_of_TV_Shows_to_move/" --fast-list --tpslimit 4 --checkers=4 --drive-chunk-size 128M --transfers=4 --bwlimit=30M --delete-empty-src-dirs --exclude '.*{/**,}' -vv --progress --log-file "$HOME/scripts/rclone-sync.log"

2) You can avoid the API quota if you upload with the dedicated backup app backup and sync from Google: https://www.google.com/drive/download/backup-and-sync/ then move then to right place using the web-GUI as above.
