Limit reached on fetching subtitles

[phifer2088]

Will FileBot go back and look for subtitles each time if I have reached my limit or is there another command I can run so that is what it will do?

Also, I installed this on my Windows PC and my QNAP NAS. I never setup a log-in for my NAS but it still downloaded the .srt files. Do I not need to change the pref file in the Linux build?

I have reached my limit on fetching subtitles for today. I just paid to become VIP to increase the number I can download but that will take time and I will still reach my limit while initially getting my library organized.

Thank you

I assume you're using the suball script to download subtitles? Since the script doesn't fetch subtitles for videos that already have subtitles there is no need to "go back and look for subtitles" you just run it every other day until it's done.

Bottom line is that FileBot will not remember what you tried to do last time and will not go back and look for more subtitles. That's what scripting is for.

Older versions of FileBot did not require login, but it's highly recommend that you use your login anyway.

The script I am using is posted below. Does FileBot not update the log file to prevent from processing the files already completed? Thanks for helping me learn more.

filebot -script fn:amc --output "/share/Multimedia" --log-file amc.log --action move --conflict override --def music=y --def subtitles=en --def artwork=y --def clean=y -non-strict "/share/Public" --def excludeList=amc.txt

If you use the amc script with --def excludeList then you should be fine. However the amc script does not "go back and look for subtitles" and that's why some people use the suball script as well and schedule it on a weekly basis to fetch some extra subs that weren't available when the amc script ran and processed the files.

Does this look like a good course of action?

Running the AMC script when files finish downloading

Code: Select all

filebot -script fn:amc --output "/share/Multimedia" --log-file amc.log --action move --conflict override --def music=y --def subtitles=en --def artwork=y --def clean=y -non-strict "/share/Public" --def excludeList=amc.txt

Then running this script daily until I am no longer reaching my limit each day

Code: Select all

filebot -script fn:suball /share/Multimedia -non-strict --def minAgeDays=2--def minFileSize=0 --def minLengthMS=0 

Then add the following and run it weekly

Code: Select all

--def maxAgeDays=14

Does the suball script require " around the path like the AMC script?

[rednoah]

The second command should probably with maxAgeDays but I guess you get the idea.

Code: Select all

filebot -script fn:suball /share/Multimedia -non-strict --def maxAgeDays=2 minFileSize=0 minLengthMS=0

As for the " quotes, that's shell => viewtopic.php?f=4&t=1899
