Only have one file per movie

[Achandab]

I noticed others had the same issue here but didnt really understand if they resolved it. Basically i have Couch Potato re-scanning if there is better versions of the movies i have and having them download it. If the file extensions are different ie ".mp4 and .mkv" there will be two copies of the movies. I have the AMC script set to conflict -override, but my understanding is this will only overwrite the file if its the same extension? Is that correct.

So how can i ensure only the latest downloaded copy is the only file there?

The amc script doesn't keep track of what has been processed before, or what other files may or may not be in the target folders, so what you're asking for is not supported.

ah okay. How does it know there is a file or folder before it decides whether to overwrite or skip using the conflict switch? Does it check the path to see if the folder/file exists before copying?

If you move a files from A/B/C to X/Y/Z it'll first check if X/Y/Z exists and then either skip or delete+move.
