FileBot

For the life of me I cannot figure out groovy & filebot. My goal is to set up an automatic process that looks up my TV Shows in a folder & automatically renames them. Can someone point me in the right direction of a tutorial for this? How do I install filebot within groovy? I have spent hours using the beginners guide to groovy, but all I have managed to accomplish is I have groovy & groovyConsole installed but don't have filebot installed, meaning I can't use the filebot command. I would really appreciate any help. Thank you.

No need to get complicated. FileBot already bundles a complete Groovy runtime.

So:
1. Setup: Install FileBot (on OSX you'll need to set up the path as well)
2. Run: filebot -script "http://filebot.sf.net/scripts/renall.groovy" <options> <folder>
(or check out the other scripts listed here in the forums for more advanced stuff)

Thank you. How do I set up the path in OSX?

Run FileBot.app/Contents/MacOS/install.sh

Thank you very much! You're a saint.

Ok so I have filebot working now, but I'm not quite there yet. After new TV shows are downloaded I have hazel copying them to a separate folder, titled "MediaSorting" (to prevent missing file issues in Transmission).

I then want to run a filebot command that will watch this MediaSorting folder, recognize when a new show is added, rename it correctly, and sort it into a folder directory of Show/Season #/(episode).

I get this in terminal...

filebot -script /Users/(me)/Documents/housekeeping.groovy /Users/(me)/MediaSorting

Failure (?_?)

In 2.4 scripting requires Java 7. Someone posted how to install it just yesterday. Normal cmdline operations should work so u can use Automator as well.
