File claiming to exist preventing automatic sorting

Post by zerocks88 »

heya team,

Hoping my CLI from below helps, but i have recently started using filebot again after some hiatus and using the same old script (shown below).

It still appears to find and somewhat attempt to sort the files from my FTV Folder but as shown below, after running the script once previously the file didn't appear where I expected so I checked and ran the script again (which is what I captured) and it doesn't appear to copy the file because it already exists according to the output but it doesn't..

I've updated the app and cleared my cache via CLI with the "filebot -clear-cache" command but I don't know exactly what is happening here and hoping someone with more IQ points than me (see: 50+) can help

Code: Select all


C:\Users\user>"C:\program files\filebot\filebot.exe" -script fn:amc --output "t:\TV Shows" --log-file amc.log --action copy --conflict override -non-strict --def "ut_label=%L" "ut_state=%S" "ut_title=%N" "ut_file=%F"  "ut_kind=multi"  "ut_dir=D:\TDownloads\FTV"

If you see this message, then both files definitely exist, and have been read completely from the first byte to the last byte:

Code: Select all

:!: Note that Windows Explorer will cache file listings, sometimes incorrectly, and so it's possible that the file listing you see on your Windows machine isn't actually the file listing that's actually currently there on your remote Linux server. Hitting F5 might help, or it might not. You'll want to log into the NAS to see what files are indeed there or not there.


:?: What kind of network share are you using? Synology NAS? QNAP NAS?


:idea: Your sanity checks don't work, because you do cd "T:\tv shows\south park" but FileBot is moving files into T:\TV Shows\TV Shows\... according the log. You'll want to use --output "T:" or --output "T:/Plex". The Movies / TV Shows category folders are always created within your --output folder.
:idea: Please read the FAQ and How to Request Help.

oh, my god. I had double checked in file explorer for the additional "tv shows" folder but I guess I was just looking at a cached copy, thanks for reading it all and proving me wrong, I was convinced I was going mad!

Absolute hero.
