Amc for existing media

Post by mavrikfalkon »

I have succesfully set up the amc script with transmission on my LinuxMint machine and it is running beautifully, for media that I download through transmission. I was wondering though, how to set up the script so that it will go through the 417GB of movies that I already have or movies that I manually rip from disks to a folder and do the same thing with it. I simpley typed in the given format without the transmission parameters at the end, but it names the files and folders by the format "filebot -script fn:amc --output "/media/crockett/Media" --log-file amc.log --action copy --conflict override -non-strict --def artwork=y" and places it in the same location. As far as I was understanding the transmission paramaters at the end were passed to it from transmission to tell filebot the location of the files, which i would think would then be negated if i was manually passing the files to it.

I have also download the amc script and tryed to manually edit it myself but that was a headache, heartache, and quite the mess.

So to sum it up, what is the format that i type into filebot so that it will run straight from filebot, or trigger from a 'watch folder' script, but do exactly the same proccess as the amc script triggered from transmission.

I will still be working on this myself and will get back if no one else can help, and share my solution.
Many thanks. :D

Go back to the manual and read the part that says Run from cmdline

I am not using the cmdline. I am using filebot so i can dump the files right in.

If you're using the amc script then you're using cmdline filebot. If transmission is running the amc script then it's using cmdline filebot. If you want to run the amc script manually on some folder then you need to use cmdline filebot.
