[HELP] Possible to organise files to multiple drives?

Post by jfletch1305 »

Hello,

Bit of a noob here so please bear with me if it doesn't quite make sense what I'm asking.

I am basically looking to see if it is possible to have the AMC script move the files to two different drives upon completion? So essentially i have two external hard drives - one for my movies and one for my tv shows. Is it possible for the script to move the movies to the movies drive and the tv shows to the tv show drive automatically?

Any help you could give would be greatly appreciated. Any further information you need i'll try and provide to the best of my ability.

Also its on a windows machine if that helps.

Thank you!

Yes. Just pass along your custom seriesFormat and movieFormat. You will need to use absolute paths, otherwise it'll be resolved against the default ---output directory.

The amc script page for details.

Thanks for the reply but I really am a noob. I don't understand what i need to do. Sorry if it seems silly but would it possible to see an example of what the script would look like and i can edit it to fit my outputs?

RTFM
Relative paths will be resolved against --output and you can use absolute paths if you want to use multiple drives.

Code: Select all

--def "seriesFormat=X:/TV/{n}/{'S'+s}/{fn}" "animeFormat=X:/Anime/{n}/{fn}" "movieFormat=Z:/Movies/{n} {y}/{fn}" "musicFormat=Z:/Music/{n}/{fn}"
