Monitored folder for filebot?

Post by eddiestrike »

I would love to see this as a feature someday.

Whatever file is dropped into that folder (ie: from torrent client) would then automatically hard link to a plex directory.

Any chance? :D

What torrent client are you using?
What operating system are you using?

I only use filebot for certain shows, AMC sounds great but I don't want everything I download to be renamed. It would be nice to select a few folders and then anything that is saved there will be auto-renamed. ;)

Can AMC do this by altering the script?

I asked 2 questions. You answered 0 of them.

Depending on what torrent client (1) and operating system (2) you're using, you could call or not call the amc script depending on the situation. Basic shell script skills required.

i.e. pseudo code

Code: Select all

IF input == selected folder
    call amc script
ELSE
    do nothing
:idea: Modifying the amc script itself is rarely necessary, certainly not in this case, and generally a bad idea.
