Rename Folder - Just the Folder

[Delboy]

Hi there, Firstly, epic piece of software this, love it really do.

I've finally finished ripping/encoding my wifes dvd collection to my NAS so we can watch the films round the house (believe me, I don't ever want to do that again - took forever!) and I have a list of loads of Movie folders on my NAS.... thats great but a large portion of these films, i've never heard of and have no idea what they are or even if they are any good.

I was wondering if there is a way in FileBot for me to go into my Folder called 'D:\Videos' and rename them so its:

{title} - {year} - {genre} - {imdbrating}

I only want the first genre it comes back with as I know some films can have loads. I've looked through this forum and can't find anything that really works in the way I want. They're either renaming both the file and folder or require a .nfo file which I don't have as these are home rips.

Is there any option available for me?

Edit: Example folder names as follows:

D:\Videos\A Beautiful Mind
D:\Videos\A Cinderella Story
D:\Videos\A Clockwork Orange
D:\Videos\A Few Good Men
D:\Videos\A Fish Called Wanda

Del

Just use this format:

Code: Select all

{n} - {y} - {genres[0]} - {rating}

Note: Genre/rating data is grabbed from TheMovieDB

Those file/folder names are enough to figure things out. No need for nfo and whatever.

If those folders are DVD folders or BluRay folders (i.e. contain a folder called VIDEO_TS, etc) then it'll work with the folder.

If you have avis/mkvs/etc but want to preserve the original name:

Code: Select all

/.../{n} - {y} - {genres[0]} - {rating}/{fn}

Thanks for this rednoah. You mention:

Code: Select all

Those file/folder names are enough to figure things out. No need for nfo and whatever.

If those folders are DVD folders or BluRay folders (i.e. contain a folder called VIDEO_TS, etc) then it'll work with the folder.

If you have avis/mkvs/etc but want to preserve the original name:

I don't actually want to rename anything in the folders themselves at all - just the folder name - presumably this is possible?

I use a batch script to loop through the folder names, but what would be the command line for me to just rename the folders themselves using "{n} - {y} - {genres[0]} - {rating}"?

Del

[rednoah]

With the newer revision you can just pass in a folder.

e.g. rename(file:<folder>, format: ...)

[rednoah]

That's groovy script. Cmdline probably doesn't work cause it'll try to grab video files from the folder you specify.

[Delboy]

Ok I tried it:

via command line I did:

Code: Select all

C:\Program Files (x86)\FileBot>filebot -script D:\Videos\test\test2.groovy

where groovy script contained:

Code: Select all

rename(folder:"D:/Videos/test/A Beautiful Mind", format:"{n} - {y} - {genres[0]} - {rating}")

Response was:

Code: Select all

Exception: No media files: []
Done ?(?????)?

I know im doing something stupid - what is it though?

Del

[rednoah]

You need a newer revision from here:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/filebot ... ebot/HEAD/

Just replace the jar in your install folder and it should work.

[Delboy]

Got the latest .jar - re-ran the code:

Code: Select all

C:\Program Files (x86)\FileBot>filebot -version
FileBot 2.64 (r1190) / Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment 1.6.0_33


C:\Program Files (x86)\FileBot>filebot -script D:\Videos\test\test2.groovy
Filename pattern: [NaN] SxE, [NaN] CWS
Rename episodes using [TheTVDB]
Exception: No media files: []
Done ?(?????)?

Again the groovy script contains only:

Code: Select all

rename(folder:"D:/Videos/test/A Beautiful Mind", format:"{n} - {y} - {genres[0]} - {rating}")

edit: Just tried it with the db in the groovy script too:

Code: Select all

rename(folder:"D:/Videos/test/A Beautiful Mind", db: "TheMovieDB", format:"{n} - {y} - {genres[0]} - {rating}")

C:\Program Files (x86)\FileBot>filebot -script D:\Videos\test\test2.groovy
Rename movies using [TheMovieDB]
Exception: No media files: []
Done ?(?????)?

Nothing happened.


Sorry for being slow - some of this stuff is a little beyond me.

[Delboy]

More playing, editted the groovy script and put this in so its a little more dynamic:

Code: Select all

// PERSONALIZED SETTINGS
def MovieDir    		= "D:/Videos/test/"
def MovieFormat    	= "D:/Videos/test/{n} - {y} - {genres[0]} - {rating}"


MovieDir.getFolders{!it.hasFile{} || it.hasFile{}}.each{ dir ->
	println "Processing $dir"
	def folder = dir

	println "Processing $dir"
	rename(folder:folder, db:'TheMovieDB', format:MovieFormat)
}

Output was this:

Code: Select all

D:\Videos>filebot -script D:\Videos\test\test3.groovy
Processing D:\Videos\test
Processing D:\Videos\test
Rename movies using [TheMovieDB]
Exception: No media files: [D:\Videos\test\test.groovy, D:\Videos\test\test2.gro

Done ?(?????)?

D:\Videos>

Again, nothing in the directory was changed.

[rednoah]

Ah, found the problem that got you.

rename(folder:dir, ...) -> resolve folder automatically and pass fileset to rename
rename(file:dir, ...) -> just process this fileset directly (folders will be handled just as if they were files)

This works:

Code: Select all

args.eachMediaFolder { dir ->
	println dir
	rename(file:dir, format:'{n} - {y} - {genres[0]} - {rating}', db:'TheMovieDB')
}

[Delboy]

Sadly that doesn't work either

Tried:

def args = "D:/Videos/test/"

args.eachMediaFolder { dir ->
println dir
rename(file:dir, format:'{n} - {y} - {genres[0]} - {rating}', db:'TheMovieDB')
}

Simply says Done?(??????)?

then tried:

Code: Select all

// PERSONALIZED SETTINGS
def MovieDir    		= "D:/Videos/test/"
def MovieFormat    	= "D:/Videos/test/{n} - {y} - {genres[0]} - {rating}"

MovieDir.getFolders{!it.hasFile{} || it.hasFile{}}.each{ dir ->
   println dir
   rename(file:dir, format:MovieFormat, db:'TheMovieDB')
}

Which had a result but because its using the full path to do the search, its failing to select the movie.

Result:

Is there a way for it only to select the actual folder name and pass that rather than the full path - that seems to be the issue?

Del

[Delboy]

This seemed to work and also adding -non-strict to the command line. Not sure if thats safe to do though:

Code: Select all

// PERSONALIZED SETTINGS
def MovieDir    		= "D:/Videos/test"
def DirRoot					= "test"
def MovieFormat    	= "D:/Videos/test/{n} - {y} - {genres[0]} - {rating}"

MovieDir.getFolders{!it.hasFile{} || it.hasFile{}}.each{ dir ->

   	if (dir.name != DirRoot) {
			println dir
	   	rename(file:dir, format:MovieFormat, db:'TheMovieDB')
		}
}

[rednoah]

The snipped I posted definitely does work.

Cmdline:

Code: Select all

filebot -script test.groovy "E:\testdata\folders" -non-strict --action test

Script:

Code: Select all

args.eachMediaFolder { dir ->
	println dir
	rename(file:dir, format:'{n} - {y} - {genres[0]} - {rating}', db:'TheMovieDB')
}

Output:

Code: Select all

But eachMediaFolder will run through each folder that contains at least 1 video file (your test setup was probably all empty folders). If it doesn't do anything than there's no avis/mks/etc.

That search for [null/test] is because you also have video files in your root folder which is a bit odd since you said you have everything organized in folders. Move your video files into folders or make it skip that folder like in your last script above.

Obviously you have to pass in the whole path so filebot knows what you wanna rename. If you already know that the folder name is the movie name then you can add rename(file: ..., query: dir.name, ...) to force the search query rather then have filebot auto-detect it.

Adding -non-strict just forces filebot to auto-select the most probable option rather then fail in case there are multiple plausible options.

Got it all working now - thanks very much for your help rednoah.
