As fat as I know uTorrent just passes the cmdline directly to an new cmd window. Definitely an issue with how uTorrent calls the cmd... Very odd.

What happens if set it to lets say "notepad", does it popup notepad or explorer? Or if you do filebot -version > C:/log.txt 2>&1, does that do anything?

You can just put the cmd into the "whenever torrent changes state" box and then start/stop torrents to trigger it.

Ok notepad pops up when I do notepad. filebot -version > C:/log.txt 2>&1 does not cause anything to happen. This is probably something simple I am missing, thanks for the help.

Well, the filebot call should create a txt file in C:\ called log.txt with filebot version output.

Since that works I suppose there must be something wrong with the command, or how uTorrent executes it. Can u send me a screenshot of utorrents logger tab?

well, filebot itself works perfectly, just something odd with uTorrent calling filebot. Though if it works in cmd, but not in uT I have no idea what's going on. Should be the same thing.

Send me some screenshots of the uTorrent logger tab so I can make sure the cmds are alright.

That looks perfectly fine as well. I suppose it works perfectly if you just copy whole line into the cmd window. Also when it's just calling "filebot" it's starting the GUI application right? Can't see why uTorrent would open an explorer window like this.

When it calls filebot nothing happens, the explorer window is not opening anymore. When it calls notepad, notepad opens. Could I have filebot installed wrong or in a place utorrent can't call it from?

Tested with uT 2.2.1. Works fine for me, startup anyway, though the script doesn't work well with single-file torrents since 2.2.1 doesn't pass the single|multi variable like 3.x does. I guess for some reason utorrent isn't able to run filebot, but by know i've run out of ideas why that would be the case.

I updated and it still did not work, so i gave up and reinstalled 2.2.1. When I installed I right clicked and ran as administrator......and that fixed it all, it works now. Sorry for the trouble and thank you for the help.

Ok the fix was to install uTorrent as admin? Or run as admin? Did you have to install Java/FileBot as admin as well?

PS: I updated the uTorrent script to work better uT 2.2.1

Install as admin, and works perfect with the 2.2.1. Now I want to experiment with the hardlink to save space but continue seeding.

Hardlinks obviously only work on the se drive, also make sure uTorrent is running as admin, because filebot needs admin priviledges to create Hardlinks on windows.

*typo: same

hardlinks only work on the same filesystems since the point is there is only one physical file but multiple filesystem entries.

Does the hardlink delete the original file automatically?
