Running the AMC script on a folder?

[iNemzis]

Hi guys,

I feel like this is an absolutely stupid question, but I can't find the answer myself, so figured it wouldn't hurt to ask.

I'm running Mac OS X 10.9.4, and have the AMC script functioning correctly with Transmission. I can download a torrent, and it will complete, rename, and move to the location I want it to - perfect! I'm likely going to tweak the script once I learn a little more (I have no programming knowledge whatsoever). Anyway, I've been downloading movies/TV for a few weeks now without unarchiving, renaming, moving everything for a while, so I have a large backlog of stuff I would love Filebot to unarchive and move for me, without having to do that all manually.

Is there a very simple change I can make to the script I'm using (or more likely re-write a new one for one-time use), so that when I run it, it will perform the extractions etc on the whole folder? The problem is in my understanding of the script, so a nudge in the right direction would be perfect.

Currently functional torrent AMC script:

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash
/Applications/Filebot.app/Contents/MacOS/filebot.sh -script fn:amc --output "/Users/iNemzis/Desktop" --log-file amc.log --action copy --conflict override -non-strict --def artwork=y deleteAfterExtract=y clean=y "ut_dir=$TR_TORRENT_DIR/$TR_TORRENT_NAME" "ut_kind=multi" "ut_title=$TR_TORRENT_NAME"

I would just like to run the above on my Downloads folder, and let it work its magic.

Also, while I'm here - the above script works great, however it leaves the torrent archive folder behind along with the usual .nfo files and whatnot. I thought the clean=y command would clear those?

Cheers for any assistance! I plan on donating, as I've been using Filebot (unautomated) for years

1.
It's just a cmdline tool, so call it from cmdline. There's a section called Run from cmdline in the manual.

2.
--action copy will obviously leave things behind for seeding.

Oh yes, thank you for point 2, I should have realised that.

As for the main issue, I'm trying the "filebot -extract /Users/iNemzis/Downloads/" command, but it just says "done" with no extracting. However if I go deeper, ie, "filebot -extract /Users/iNemzis/Downloads/The.Knick.S01E02.HDTV.x264-KILLERS" it successfully extracts the file. Is it just a case of Filebot not able to extract from two levels up?

Thanks for your reply, you have made amazing software

[iNemzis]

Hmm, I perhaps need to alter the renall script you have made, with a command for extraction?

Hi Rednoah, I couldn't figure it out with Filebot, but used "open */*.rar" with The Unarchiver in terminal, and that's doing the trick. Will only need the torrent script now, which is all up and running. Again, thanks for the software

Extract all archives in the given folder:

Code: Select all

filebot -extract /folder

Extract all archives in the entire file tree:

Code: Select all

filebot -extract -r /folder
