POSTBUCKET - where random posts in unrelated topics go

I got this to work by myself before realising {az} existed, but... it files "Riddick (2013)" into /C/ (presumably because the 1st film was "The Chronicles of Riddick") so I am not sure if this is a bug or not. I would prefer to file it into /R/.

The second snippet works except movies starting with "A" or "The" etc (filing it into /A/ or /T/ respectfully).

The following worked for me:

Code: Select all

{n.replaceFirst(/(?i)(The |A |An |)(.).*/, /$2/)}

[jchh]

...although I'd like to put films starting with a number (eg: 28 days later) into the folder "A-Z". Any tips on how I could incorporate that into my snippet would be appreciated.

[edit]: that was a typo - I'd want to put in into a folder called 0-9

[rednoah]

e.g.

Code: Select all

{ n =~ /^\d/ ? 'A-Z' : n[0] }

[jchh]

that's fantastic - thanks.

how do I either/or that with my snippet?

[rednoah]

e.g.

Code: Select all

{ n =~ /^\d/ ? 'A-Z' : n.replaceFirst(/(?i)(The |A |An |)(.).*/, /$2/) }

[jchh]

Brilliant - thanks for your help!

Is there a way to sort on names minus "The"?

IE Sorted or filed or renamed as "Big Lebowski, The" as opposed to "The Big..."

Lots of "The" movies in my collection I would rather sort differently...

Hi, RedNoah, and thanks for any/all help you can offer here.

The goal is for TV shows to end up in N:\media\tv and movies to end up in n:\media\moviestowatch. Currently, the first line is working fine but, the infrequent time that I've got a movie to be processed, it works sometimes and, when it doesn't, it deletes the file completely. I'd prefer that movies not get their own subfolder but, if they must, that's not the end of the world.
When qbittorrent finishes, it dumps all files into n:\media\videos for processing.

Secondly, I've added the subtitle clause so let me know if I'm doing that wrong. I'd like the movies to always have a subtitle available.

It's in a batch file that does things like delete .nfo/.txt and other housekeeping things.

Code: Select all

"c:\Program Files\FileBot\filebot.exe" -script fn:amc --output "n:/media/tv" --action move -non-strict "n:/media/videos" --log-file amc.log  --def excludeList=amc.txt --def seriesFormat="{n}/{n} - {s00e00} - {t}" clean=y kodi=kodi:[email protected]:8081

"c:\Program Files\FileBot\filebot.exe" -script fn:amc --output "n:/media/moviestowatch" --action move -non-strict "n:/media/videos" --log-file amc.log --def excludeList=amc.txt --def subtitles=en --def seriesFormat="{n} ({y}) - {rating}" clean=y kodi=kodi:[email protected]:8081

If this can be done with a single line to cover both types of media, I'd love to learn.

[rednoah]

Your structure and customizations seem to make things unnecessarily difficult for yourself. I'd just keep things simple.


e.g. recommended usage:

Code: Select all

filebot -script fn:amc --output "N:/Plex" --action duplicate -non-strict "n:/media/videos" --log-file amc.log --def excludeList=amc.txt

* Clearly separate input / output folders, i.e. input folder must not be inside the output folder.
* Stick to the standard {plex} format, i.e. no custom folder names, no custom formats. The {plex} format is responsible for the "TV Shows" and "Movies" folders. If you choose to use custom formats then your custom format is responsible for generating the parent folder structure within the --output folder if desired.

If this can be done with a single line to cover both types of media, I'd love to learn.

This is the default behaviour. If all your files are mixed, then a single amc script call is your only option. You can have separate filebot -rename calls (i.e. not amc script calls) for separately processing movie files and episode files, but for that to make sense your files would have to be separated into folders already, one input folder that only contains movies and one input folder that only contains episodes.

What have you tried so far? Where are you stuck? What did the console output say?

Please read the amc script manual for details.


You'll want to use the suball script on demand for fine-grained control over which files get subtitles. The amc script is a one-size-fits-all solution and thus not suitable if you want subtitles for some files but not others.


If you aim to organize the same files into multiple folder structures for easy access, then you'll want to have one well-organized primary structure, from which you can then auto-generate arbitrary secondary structures on demand. Please read Re-organize previously organized files using local xattr metadata for details.

Looks great. Please let me know how to show folders under some category, (ex. first image). is it a separate magic app or just windows file explorer

Just windows explorer, i created a movie library and added different paths that correspond to the categories i want

This thread may been three years old, but I would feel bad asking such a dumb question in it's own thread: my brain may be broked, but qBittorrent doesn't seem to want to run anything. And for the record, "TV_Shows" is merely the alias to my TV Shows drive; Movies_Other is where movies are kept.

This works fine and dandy in the Linux Terminal, but not out of qBittorrent.

Code: Select all

filebot -script fn:amc --output /mnt/TV_Shows --action duplicate -non-strict /home/alittler/Downloads --def movieFormat=/mnt/Movies_Other/{plex} seriesFormat=/mnt/TV_Shows/{plex} --def plex=192.168.1.123:duhhhhhhhhh --def clean=y --def unsorted=y --log-file amc.log --def excludeList=amc.txt 

Thinking I might be misremembering something, I took the AMC script with the output edited, and nothing happened either. The files didn't go anywhere, they weren't copied or anything, and no amc.excludes file. I've checked permissions, I've reinstalled different distros, and installed filebot from different repos, but nothin'.

Code: Select all

filebot -script fn:amc --output "/mnt/TV_Shows" --action duplicate --conflict skip -non-strict --log-file amc.log --def excludeList=amc.excludes --def unsorted=y music=y artwork=y "ut_label=%L" "ut_title=%N" "ut_kind=multi" "ut_dir=%F"

And despite running this, I cannot find the log file

Code: Select all

find /usr/local/filebot-node/ -name "*.log"

wat do

[rednoah]

Is filebot called by qBT? What does the log say when filebot is called by qBT and doesn't work?


Start by verifying that qBT is actually calling anything, confirm this, and then modify anything to filebot and repeat:
viewtopic.php?t=3067


If you call filebot with --log-file then the first line of the console output will tell you where the log is. You may want to do --log-file /absolute/path/to/file to specify exactly where you want the file to go, so you know where the file goes.

[alittler]

Well, the printenv command works when I add it to my Terminal script, but not when I paste it into qBT. Which I expected, but also blows chunks. I've installed Filebot dozens of times in my attempts organize my completely legal downloading, in uBT, qBT, and my old Synology NAS, and this has never been a problem.

Despite my best attempts, a crontab just don't work as well as running a script on command.

[rednoah]

If you can't run a simple custom shell script unrelated to filebot, then you will not be able to run filebot. Re-installing FileBot has no effect because qBT for some reason seems to just not execute your post-process command.

I recommend checking with qBT users in the qBT forums first and see if they can help you debug qBT and see if you can manage to successfully call a simple custom script. Once you've got that confirmed to be working reliably, then we can move on to calling filebot.




EDIT:

printenv command works when I add it to my Terminal script, but not when I paste it into qBT

You seem to be doing something wrong here, because I'd expect you to copy the path to a custom script into qBT, i.e. just a file path:

Step-by-Step Instructions for Beginners:

1. Download the debug.sh script:

   Code: Select all

   curl -O "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/filebot/plugins/master/bash/debug.sh"

2. Read the debug.sh script and try to understand what it does line by line:

   Code: Select all

   cat debug.sh

3. Make the debug.sh script executable for all users:

   Code: Select all

   chmod +rx debug.sh

4. Enter the absolute path to your /path/to/debug.sh script to execute it:

   Code: Select all

   /path/to/debug.sh

5. Read the console output for each test command (e.g. printenv > /tmp/printenv.txt) and confirm that each test command is working:

   Code: Select all

   tail /tmp/*.txt

6. Copy the absolute path to your /path/to/debug.sh script into qBT / Deluge / Transmission / etc and wait for it to be called. Then check the /tmp/*.txt text files to see the console output (i.e. error messages) was for each test command.

[alittler]

Well, it eventually got to work. The issue seems to have been permissions, and using the idea of your debug.sh file, I put my preferred filebot script into a torrent.sh file and made it executable for all users.

I also downloaded about latest Young Sheldon episode about 15,000 times because it was relatively small and had a great amount of seeds.

Thank you kindly, sir.

How would I sort TV shows, by their first letters, into separate drives? Something like this;

Code: Select all

{
	if ({az} =  A..L) {
		return "/media/alittler/'TV Shows'/{plex}"
	} else {
		return "/media/alittler/'TV Shows2'/{plex}"
	}
}

Ah tell you hwat...

After a few hours of try and try and try again, I think I got it. I just had to search the Forums the same questions in a few different ways

Code: Select all

Movies_Other/" --action duplicate -non-strict --log-file amc.log --def movieFormat="/media/alittler/Movies_Other/{ plex }" seriesFormat="{n =~ /^(?i)[0-9a-r]/ ? '/media/alittler/TV_Shows_1' : n =~ /^(?i)[s-z]/ ? '/media/alittler/TV_Shows_2'}:/{plex}
" excludeList="/media/alittler/Movies_Other/amc.txt

[rednoah]

e.g.

Code: Select all

{
	if (az in 'A'..'L')
		return '/path/to/A-L'
	if (az in 'M'..'Z')
		return '/path/to/M-Z'
	return '/path/to/#'
}
/
{plex}

[alittler]

e.g.

Code: Select all

{
	if (az in 'A'..'L')
		return '/path/to/A-L'
	if (az in 'M'..'Z')
		return '/path/to/M-Z'
	return '/path/to/#'
}
/
{plex}

Thank you kindly. Either I misread the Terminal or something (or it was very, very late) but the command I had just tried didn't quite work, and this is a much simpler version of it.

[rednoah]

No worries. You had the right ideas. Just need some help with Groovy syntax for Ranges. I've added an example for this use case to the docs page.
