Movie in VIDEO_TS format renamed and put in redundant folders

Post by phovos »

Hi,

I started using filebot recently on a rpi and I am still learning. So far it has been more I could ask for.

However I am experiencing a strange issue. filebot although renamed correctly a VIDEO_TS movie, for some reason it created a redundant folder.

More specifically:
/input/Some Movie (yyyy) abcd efg/VIDEO_TS/ --> /output/Movies/Some Movie (yyyy)/Some Movie (yyyy)/VIDEO_TS/
The filebot arguments I used are the following:

Code: Select all

filebot -script fn:amc --output "/path/to/output" --action move -non-strict "/path/to/input" --def "@/path/to/amc.args"
The arguments file contains the following.

Code: Select all

subtitles=en,gr
music=y
unsorted=y
excludeList=/path/to/amc.excludes
seriesFormat=Series/{n}/{episode.special ? 'Special' : 'Season '+s.pad(2)}/{n} - {episode.special ? 'S00E'+special.pad(2) : s00e00} - {t.replaceAll(/[`´‘’ʻ]/, /'/).replaceAll(/[!?.]+$/).replacePart(', Part $1')}{'.'+lang}
Does this make sense at all?

Thanks in advance,

PS Be aware that it is the first time I used the program without the "--action test" option so I don't know if this is an isolated incident or not.

Just to give some more information of my setup that might be of some importance.

The movie folder was actually inside another folder in a structure that accomondates my torrent client's labeling scheme.

So more accurately the actual path would be:

Code: Select all

/path/to/input/label/Some Movie (yyyy) abcd efg/VIDEO_TS/
The rest are as told before.

Was the presence of that folder perhaps the problem?

Its not a redundant folder. VIDEO_TS is a DVD structure folder. The parent folder represents the DVD folder and each DVD folder is treated exactly as if it were a single inseparable file.

Formats that yield this path for files:

Code: Select all

Avatar/Avatar.<extension>
Should yield this path for DVD folders:

Code: Select all

Avatar/Avatar/<internal structure>
