How to get Episode information for show episodes?

[WorkflowsGuy]

Hello,

I do not quite understand how to get the info for a particular episode of a show. I could not find a specific command to do this.
I thought it would also be automatically downloaded e.g when I rename an episode, but this isn't the case.
E.g. this script

Code: Select all

/Applications/FileBot.app/Contents/MacOS/filebot -rename "/Users/Pete/Documents/Arrested.Development.S01E16.Altar.Egos.avi" --format "{n} {s00e00} {t}" --db thetvdb --q "Arrested Development" -non-strict

renames the episode and then gives the following error:

Code: Select all

Fetching episode data for [Arrested Development]
Failed to write xattr: java.io.File.toPath()Ljava/nio/file/Path;

No episode info is created.

Can someone please enlighten me?

Thanks,
Steve

filebot -rename does exactly that, rename. It's not supposed to create .nfo files. You'll want to look into FileBot scripts rather than basic CLI.

The AMC script:

PS: These scripts will only create series .nfo not per-episode .nfo files.

OK,

thanks for clarifying that. After reading:

"Fetch episode info from TVRage, AniDB, TheTVDB or Serienjunkies" on the start page, I had thought that this was a basic Filebot function. But it seems that nobody has implemented such a script or function...

Cheers,
Steve
