Ignore certain subdirectory

[Hollow]

Hi

I use filebot with Task Scheduler to search for missing subtitles for my TV-Shows. As I've organized all my TV-shows in subfolders under a top folder "SERIES", I've tolded the script to do recursive search through all subfolders. I see that some of the shows, it never finds a subtitle as there is no subtitle for those shows. Is is possible to tell the script to ignore those folders in any way? It clutters up the log file that use to track which shows that are found.

If not, I will have to take those shows out of the folder. Not a big problem, but if it is easy to ignore folders, that would be better.

You could modify the suball script and implement some way remembering what has been processed and what hasn't yet.

pseudo code:

Code: Select all

for each folder:
   if folder contains file ".done":
      break
   if not fetchSubtitles has yields results:
      create file ".done"

Sorry for bringing an old post back up, but it seemed redundant to create a similar thread. I basically have the same issue. My NAS runs a script that fetches subs for my media but sometimes it simply won't find any. I'm talking about shows like Mr. Bean or Tom and Jerry. Those don't really need (and have) subs, yet filebot searches for them which wastes resources, time and precious API calls

Maybe implement something so filebot ignores folders that contain a secret file like: '.filebot_ignore'

How about an age limit? e.g. don't process files that are older than n days:

I guess that's possible for all the new media that arrives. Right now I'm still completing all the existing stuff, some of which are 1 year old. In these cases a ignore function would be handy.

I'll just do the current ones manually, then for the script I'll put it a age limit.

The suball script also supports ignore patterns like the amc script:

Code: Select all

--def ignore=pattern

So you can ignore any file where the path contains the given pattern (e.g. in your case the folder name)

Tried the suball script but it errors on me dumping a stacktrace. http://pastie.org/9316211

Remove libmediainfo.so since it's not working anyway and is just crashing the process.

If you report crashes you should really include a uname -a as well.
