[AMC]Find whether content is TV Series or Movie from cmdline

[Arion]

I wanted to change the way filebot sent Pushbullet notifications so I used a CLI tool for pushbullet and used this hook to send me notifications:

Code: Select all

--def "exec=pushbullet -apikey \"apikey\" -title \"[Filebot] New episode of {n} is here! \" -message \"{s00e00} - {t} has been downloaded.\""

Now I want filebot to send me different notifications based on whether the content is a TV Series or a Movie.

I tried using this below code in a batch file and calling the batch file from "exec=/path/to/batch" but it turns out calling a batch file doesn't parse the filebot arguments.

Code: Select all

@echo off
title PUSHBULLET

IF "%$group%" == "tvs" goto tvs
IF "%$group%" == "mov" goto mov

:tvs
pushbullet -apikey "apikey" -title "[Filebot] New episode of {n} is here! " -message "{s00e00} - {t} has been downloaded."

:mov
pushbullet -apikey "apikey" -title "[Filebot] The movie {n} has been downloaded! " -message "Ready to be watched."

exit

So I was wondering if I can use an IF-ELSE statement within the "exec=" statement to find whether the content is TV Series or Movie and send a different message for each of them.

This will give you either "Movie" or "Episode":

Code: Select all

{movie; 'Movie'}{episode; 'Episode'}

Also, you could pass the {json} value to your shell script and figure it out there:

Code: Select all

{json}

[Arion]

Is this how I use it?

Code: Select all

--def "exec={movie; 'pushbullet -apikey \"apikey\" -title \"The movie {n} has been downloaded!\" -message \"Ready to be watched.\"'}"

It doesn't seem to work so I guess I'm on the wrong track here.

[rednoah]

I'd start with this:

Code: Select all

--def "exec=echo {movie; 'Movie'}{episode; 'Episode'}"

When in doubt, open the Format Editor and play with it.


Also, you probably want to avoid passing complex arguments on the command-line: viewtopic.php?f=3&t=3244

[Arion]

In your above script, whatever's inside the single quotes {movie; 'movie'} is pushed as it is and doesn't work with the filebot parameters. How do I make it work?

I need a different messages pushed depending on whether the content is tv series/movie.

[rednoah]

1. Have you tried using the Format Editor? What did you learn?
2. Have you tried using my snipped to see what it does? What did you learn?

e.g.

Code: Select all

...
Parameter: exec = echo 'This is a {movie; 'Movie'}{episode; 'Episode'}'
Input: Avatar 2009.mp4
Input: Firefly - 1x01.mp4
...
Processed 1 files
Execute: echo 'This is a Movie'
This is a Movie
Execute: echo 'This is a Episode'
This is a Episode

[Arion]

So I can set it to send me a push like

"The movie/episode has been downloaded" but I want it to contain the filename as well like I mentioned in the OP:

If episode-
-title "[Filebot] New episode of {n} is here! " -message "{s00e00} - {t} has been downloaded."

If movie-
-title "[Filebot] The movie {n} has been downloaded!" -message "Ready to be watched."

How do I access the Format Editor? There's no program in the filebot directory and I couldn't find anything in the GUI as well.

UPDATE: Nevermind, found the format editor. But how do I set the {movie; 'Movie'}{episode; 'Episode'} line to work with filebot parameters?

[Arion]

Is there a solution for this?

[rednoah]

Yes. I gave you all the puzzle pieces. Copy & pasting it together is your job.

I'm using this for testing movies:

Code: Select all

--def "exec=pushbullet -apikey \"apikey\" -title \"{movie; {ny}}{episode; 'Episode'} is here! \" -message \"{movie; {ny}}{episode; 'Episode'}has been downloaded\""

And it's returning this error:

Code: Select all

SyntaxError: Ambiguous expression could be either a parameterless closure expression or an isolated open code block

[Arion]

I'm not lazy man, I just need some time to figure things out. I got this far solely from your AMC threads and cmdline manuals, I just need to figure out the proper syntax.

You didn't mention anywhere about the {movie; 'Movie'}{episode; 'Episode'} line in your man pages so I had no way of knowing it existed. I just need to know proper syntax to parse filebot arguments like {n} and {s00e00} in side the {movie; }{episode; } line.

[rednoah]

1. Prototype in the Format Editor (live preview helps with learning)
2. Copy exec format expression into text file
3. Use --def exec=@/path/to/exec-format.txt (so you don't have to deal with command-line escaping)

Here's one more puzzle piece

Code: Select all

{"$movie has been downloaded."}

You'll probably be happy with just this though

Code: Select all

{movie}{episode} has been downloaded.

Hey! So I figured it out this weekend.

For Pushbullet, I'm using an unofficial CLI tool built by dendory [https://github.com/dendory/pushbullet_cli]. I added the pushbullet.exe I got from the repo to my System32 folder.

Using

Code: Select all

--def "exec=@Path/to/args.txt"

I don't need to mess around with escape characters anymore, thanks to rednoah.

This is what my args.txt contains:

Code: Select all

pushbullet -apikey "Your-apikey" -title "{movie}{episode; n}" -message "{movie; 'The movie'}{episode; s00e00}{episode; ' - '}{episode; t} is ready."

The output of the message is:
1. TV SERIES:
Title: SeriesName
Message: s00e00 - t is ready.

2. MOVIE:
Title: MovieName (y)
Message: The movie is ready.

Example:
1. TV SERIES:
Title: Daredevil
Message: S02E04 - Penny and Dime is ready.

2. MOVIE:
Title: Deadpool (2016)
Message: The movie is ready.

Since I couldn't fit "s00e00 - t" inside a single {episode} expression, I used three of them to properly space and separate the episode no. and episode title.

Thanks for the great help you've been, Rednoah

I've been wondering if I download an entire season, Can I send a push telling me that "{Season+'s'} has been downloaded"?
