AMC: Whitelist for specific filetypes?

Post by Clint »

Hi!

As usual very happy with your work! ;)

However, now and again I'm stumbling upon the need for having the "amc" script copying over specific files (or all in the same folder as the movie) when processing the movie.

As of today I'm first using couchpotato to rename and grab metadata to my downloads and then run filebot after that on the folder containing the movies (all within their own folders and all containing metadata from couchpotato) and move it onwards to my library. Problem I'm facing is that filebot does not copy over the metadata generated from couchpotato but rather deletes everything.

Is there a switch for filebot to not touch already present files in the movie folder and have them all moved to my library as well?

If the names of the metadata files match the movie files then it can be processed together, kinda like subtitles.

If you process folders via "Folder Mode" then you can process whole folders, but not rename any of the files inside. "Folder Mode" is not supported in the amc script.
:idea: Please read the FAQ and How to Request Help.

Ahh, ofcourse! I should have tried to simply name them to reflect the movie's name...doh! :oops:

Easy peasy then, simply name them accordingly!

Thanks! :D
