Transmission - Ubuntu - Filebot not running from script

[domg]

I have googled and worked on this code for so long now and still cannot get it to work. Hoping someone has some insight.

I am using ubuntu and have a script to run when a torrent is complete in transmission. Transmission runs under my user (dom) and has the same permissions as the script. I've done a whoami > log in the script and it comes up as dom so 1. I know the script is being run, and 2. it's running under "dom".

If I run the script manually, it calls filebot just fine and sorts my movies.

Here is the code:

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash


if test "$TR_TORRENT_DIR" =  '/home/dom/Media/Unsorted/Movies'; then

        /usr/bin/filebot -script fn:amc --output "/home/dom/Media/Movies" --log-file /home/dom/.filebot/logs/amc.log --action move --conflict override -non-strict "/home/dom/Media/Unsorted/Movies" --def excludeList=/home/dom/Media/Movies/amc.txt subtitles=en,es "movieFormat=/home/dom/Media/Movies/{n.space('.')}.{y}.{vc}.{vf}" clean=y plex=127.0.0.1:xxxxxxxxx pushbullet=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx >>/home/dom/Logs/trans-error.log 2>&1

                echo "[`date '+%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S'`] SCANNED MOVIE: $TR_TORRENT_NAME" >> /home/dom/Logs/trans-check.log
                exit
        else
                echo "[`date '+%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S'`] NOT SCANNED - Download Directory: $TR_TORRENT_DIR" >> /home/dom/Logs/trans-check.log
                exit
fi

My coding isn't the best, but like I said, the script runs fine manually. The log files I have setup do show "SCANNED MOVIE:" with the title, so I know the if statement is run.

my settings.json file is owned by dom, as well as transmission, all the folders called in the script. Filebot is also owned by dom.

I've been trying to figure this out for months now, so any info would be much appreciated!

PS. I just noticed that my amc.log file shows "/.filebot" when the script runs from transmission

Thanks

So you've made sure that filebot is called? What does your /home/dom/Logs/trans-error.log say?

[domg]

Code: Select all

/.filebot

That's the only thing that shows up in that log, every time the script is run from transmission. If I run it manually, I get the standard amc output.

My trans-check.log has this

Code: Select all

[2015-10-11 14:00:10] SCANNED MOVIE: Spy (2015)

So I know the script is running past the filebot command.

Thanks for the reply

It doesn't seem like that's the complete log. You're missing something. Though looking at filebot.sh it might just be that $HOME is undefined. Make sure that $HOME is set. You might wanna make a thread in the Transmission forums how 3rd party tools are called, and what environment they're running in.

[domg]

That's all there is for that log. Every time transmission runs the script it adds /.filebot to the log.

As far as the $HOME, it needs to be defined for transmission, filebot, PATH ,or all of the above?

[rednoah]

In your bash script, the one called by transmission, you should set HOME before filebot is called:

Code: Select all

export HOME=/path/to/your/user/home

[domg]

Wow. It was that easy. Thank you!!

Just for insight, what needs the home directory--I was using absolute paths for everything? Just to understand future scripts.

Thanks again!!

Open $HOME/.filebot and see for yourself.
