a little more help with --def exec

[Ztrust]

hey Rednoah

you helped me with the --def exec a while back
http://www.filebot.net/forums/viewtopic ... t=def+exec
but I still havent gotten it to work properly so figured I would give it a shot more so hope you can help me to get it to work
I have a meta data scraper "mediacompanion.exe" that uses mc_com.exe for command line and it dident work when i used the path and parametors in utorrent script, so I asked around on the mc forum and I was told to use this in my script
h:
cd media companion
mc_com.exe -e
so I put it in a bat file and called the bat in --def exec. (--def "exec=H:\mctest.bat" )
the bat works manually and the logs show it as launched twice??? but it dosent launch. I have googeld to the best of my abilitys and found this
http://www.filebot.net/forums/viewtopic ... =642#p4289 but I just get the same results.
how do I pass that command with linebreaks and all to cmd?

1.
--def exec is called for each file that has been processed

2.
You can call .bat files, and filebot call anything with cmd /c <your exec command>

3.
Logs? FileBot does show you the cmdline output of the subprocess. Have you made sure your script is working by calling it manually?

According to your logs it's working. At least the filebot side, ie it doesn't get an error code back from cmd.

I'd start by adding debut output to you script to make sure its called.
