Name change after Query

Post by Yapsonark »

I've been searching for hours on the forum trying to find a solution and I'm not even sure I know what to call it.

I'm using the:
"filebot -script fn:amc --output "/path/to/output" --action copy -non-strict "/path/to/input" --log-file amc.log --def excludeList=amc.txt"
(note: the above is only the default I copied from your AMC guide and is not what I'm using)

format thru windows Task Scheduler. Everything is working beautifully except for one tv show which in the past I always manually fixed but that will no longer work if I want to automate everything.

The tv show is called Heartland and when I use filebot the outcome will be for eg.. "/TV Shows/Heartland (2007) (CA)/Heartland (2007) (CA) - S09E01 - Brave New World.mp4"

There are 3 shows with heartland that show up

Heartland (2007)
Heartland (2007) (CA)
Heartland Bowhunter

Is it possible for filebot to discover "Heartland (2007) (CA) from tvdb"
(which it already does just fine)
Input is "Heartland.CA.S09E01.HDTV.x264-KILLERS[eztv].mp4"
and instead make the output file "/TV Shows/Heartland/Heartland - S09E01 - Brave New World.mp4"

what kind of filter would I enter if one exists, into
"filebot -script fn:amc --output "/path/to/output" --action copy -non-strict "/path/to/input"

Another example is "The Office" which for plex to match with needs to be "The Office US" but isn't an issue since the show has ended but
if there is a way I'd like to learn it for future series.

(Just finished a completely automatic system from the torrent being posted to loaded into Plex! Thanks to your filebot! tyvm!)

Here's some help with filter rules:
viewtopic.php?f=3&t=2127


In this case it seems to just work though, without any filter rules:

Code: Select all

Input: Heartland.CA.S09E01.HDTV.x264-KILLERS[eztv].mp4
Group: [tvs:heartland ca] => [Heartland.CA.S09E01.HDTV.x264-KILLERS[eztv].mp4]
Rename episodes using [TheTVDB]
Auto-detected query: [heartland ca, heartland]
Fetching episode data for [Heartland (2007) (CA)]
Fetching episode data for [Heartland]
Fetching episode data for [Heartland (2007)]
Fetching episode data for [Heartland Bowhunter]
[COPY] Rename [Heartland.CA.S09E01.HDTV.x264-KILLERS[eztv].mp4] to [TV Shows/Heartland (2007) (CA)/Season 09/Heartland (2007) (CA) - S09E01 - Brave New World.mp4]
