Rename Audio files using ID3 tags instead of AcoustID lookup

[rednoah]

You can use FileBot to rename audio files based on ID3 tags instead of AcoustID lookup simply by specifying --db "ID3 Tags".

e.g.

Code: Select all

filebot -rename "01-Classical_Gas.mp3" --db "ID3 Tags" --format "{pi.pad(2)}. {n} - {t}"

Code: Select all

Rename music using [ID3]
[MOVE] Rename [X:\01-Classical_Gas.mp3] to [01. Vanessa Mae - Classical Gas.mp3]

Rednoah, is there anywhere specific in the config that this string "--db ID3" needs to reside as automated scripts use "--def "musicFormat" instead of "--format" as i cant get it to work for me

Does this work with fn:amc or only with manual rename??

Any help appreciated to tick of this one last feature of my fully automated video&music ingest service

Code: Select all

filebot -script fn:amc -non-strict "//freenas/torrents" --log-file c:/filebotlogs/amc_films.log --action copy --conflict skip --def plex=192.168.2.3 --def subtitles=n --def clean=y --def "movieFormat=//freenas/films/{n} ({y})/{n} ({y})" --def "seriesFormat=//freenas/Video/TV Series/{n}/{n} - {'Season '+s}/{n } - {s00e00}" --def music=y --db ID3 --def "musicFormat=//freenas/Music/_Ashley/{artist}/{artist} - {album}/{pi.pad(2)} - {t}" artwork=n --def excludeList=c:/filebotlogs/amc_films_exclude.log

I believe --db only works with manual rename, if you want to use a different DB with AMC you would have to download the scripts, edit them and then run them locally.

It seems to me that the line you would need to edit in AMC is this one

Code: Select all

def dest = rename(file:files, format:format.music, db:'AcoustID')

Thanks. I think I'll give that a try

The AMC script does not officially support using ID3 Tags, but that modification should be rather easy.

Probably like this:

Code: Select all

def dest = rename(file:files, format:format.music, db:'ID3 Tags')

In simple filebot -rename calls you would set --db "ID3 Tags"

The amc script overrides --db for each internal call with TheTVDB, TheMovieDB or AcoustID as necessary, so passing --db as no effect.

If you want the amc script to use ID3 Tags you need to modify it yourself. See the post exactly above yours.
