How do i delete automatically processed files?

Post by earl.grey »

Hi,

I have a problem with using the awesome filebot.

I have a folder which include all types of files (.mp4, .rar, .zip, .mkv, folder)

See the screenshot attached as an example how i start:
INPUT FOLDER (SOURCE)
Image

Then i want to use following cmd line with a .bat

Code: Select all

filebot -script fn:amc --output "C:\Users\*****\Downloads\Test Folder Filebot\Output" --log-file amc.log --action copy -non-strict "C:\Users\*****\Downloads\Test Folder Filebot\Input" --def subtitles=en --def artwork=y --def music=y --def pushbullet=***** --def deleteAfterExtract=y --def clean=y --def excludeList=amc.txt
you see commands:

Code: Select all

--def deleteAfterExtract=y --def clean=y
are already included.

ok i start the script that is the output what filebot creates:
OUTPUT FOLDER
Image
seems fine but.....
subtitles werent downloaded

as well as the input folder were all the source data was looks now like that:

the .zip file is deleted (as well as the extracted files from the zip)
but the .mp4 and the folder with the .mkv file is still there and wasnt deleted,

So two question:

1) how can i automatically delete not zipped/rared files after processing?
2) what went wrong with the subtitles. in my previous test runs it worked now it did not anymore
3) how can i extract the log of the cmd script which is running. it closes to fast after finishing so i cant copy paste it somewhere.

thanks for your help

1.
--action copy means files are copied. This will naturally interfere with clean which does not delete video files. Use --action move instead.

2.
Exactly matching subtitles may not be available. Login. Download them manually and then upload again using FileBot so movie hash / tag will be uploaded along-side subtitle data.
:idea: Please read the FAQ and How to Request Help.
