How can I edit the Movie Format?

Post by bcprophet »

ok so first off i'm on a mac (el Capitan) brand new Filebot etc..

all i'm trying to do is have my movie and tv shows get renamed and moved into the proper folder (i.e. Movies, TV) and then be put into there respected folder (I.e. 21 (2008).mp4 into folder 21 (2008))

I setup my Tv command line (if thats the right term) and everything works fine. when i drop in a tv show into filebot and select the TVDB it renames the file properly and shows the volume and folder its moving to into on the right side and everything works great.

SO that being said.
I copied that same exact command line ... /Volumes/Media Server/TV/{n} - {s00e00} - {t}
and changed it to this ... /Volumes/Media Server/Movies/{n}

now when i drop in a movie, it renames it fine but doesn't move it ... very confused here.

I know absolutely nothing about command lines and have no programming experience so please go easy on me :) i feel ike I've been searching for this problem for about 3 days now with no luck as to what i'm doing wrong.

p.s. is there a way to do both tv and movies at the same time. so far Filbert only lets me select one source (i.e. imdb, tvdb etc.) at a time.

First, read this: viewtopic.php?f=4&t=1868
Then, read that: viewtopic.php?f=4&t=1899

Are you using the --output and --format options correctly? I can't know, cause you didn't post your command-line call. ;)

You can't process different types of media in a single, simple filebot -rename call. You might be looking for something more complex, for which there is scripting, and lucky for you the amc script has been around for a while, so it should be able to handle almost anything you can throw at it: viewtopic.php?f=4&t=215#p1561

of course just after i post this i figure it out. i had no idea that little icon in the corner switched the format i.e. movies, tv, music... SO that being said when i went to movies and used that command line everything worked fine.
thanks for the reply sorry to waste anyones time.
Cheers
