Long time user, just finally got around to creating an account. Want to start by saying THANK YOU for such a great program. This has made managing my media SO much easier.
I am using two scripts from the site to rename tv shows. I am using the linux command line version. What I would like is a progress bar. I can see of two places where one would be helpful. One in the number of shows left to process. I see it list all the shows before it starts to rename (move) them so it should know exactly how many shows total it will be working with. The second is on the rename/move file operation. When moving large files across the network it can take awhile and it would be nice to see progress bars.
If this can be done by some linux-fu I am all for it! My linux fu is not great enough to come up with a solution using redirection of strout and such.
If not that way, is there a command line switch to see progress bars in filebot?
Progress Bar
Re: Progress Bar
1.
Sorry, the CLI is not cmdline interactive, and each IO operation like move/copy is a single native call, so I'd have to make lots of changes, and reduce efficiency, just to get the extra progress information which for most cmdline calls would be piped to a log file anyway.
So if you want progress bars, use the GUI.

Processing shouldn't take more than a few minutes. Unless you're repeatedly re-processing all your content over and over, which will get you banned.

If you want progress bars, just HARDLINK into a new structure on the same drive (which is instant), and then use rsync (with --progress bars) to move/copy to an external location.
