--def exec

Post by saitoh183 »

When using this with AMC will filebot wait till the execution is finish before continuing with the renaming?

I wanted to using this to maybe launch a file conversion batch to make my file stream ready before renaming it and moving it to its final destiation.

Yes. It'll run commands in sequence and wait for execution to finish before continuing.

However, the commands are called on successfully processed media files, so you won't be able to call commands on input files before processing (you'll have to do that in your own script beforehand).

Ok thanks! Maybe that could be a feature request to have pre/post exec?

IMHO any kind of pre-exec is best performed pre-filebot.
