uTorrent and custom formats

[Latinkidmj]

Hello.

I've closely followed your directions viewtopic.php?f=4&t=215 for uTorrent on Windows 10. Unfortunately, when uTorrent runs the FileBot script, it does not do what I want it to, although it thankfully does work, which by the way is totally awesome...I haven't the vaguest clue how to fix this scripting problem, but I do know the changes that I'd like to make. Currently uTorrent just moves the downloaded files from drive D:\Seeding to E:\Completed:



1. Although the program moves and renames Movie files from D:\Seeding to my E:\Completed folder, it needlessly makes another folder called "Movies" and then within that folder, another folder by the name of the movie, where the movie .mkv is ultimately and finally located. All I want is JUST the movie file (.mkv's) to move to E:\ after they've been renamed as "Name (Year)"...e.g. A Single Man (2009) as depicted in the image above.

2.Simlarly, for Television Series, I'd like Filebot to rename and move the folders found in E:\Completed to D:\"Series Name" folder and within that folder should appear JUST the episode files named as "Series Name-Season#Episode#-Episode Title"...e.g. D:\Completed\Battlestar Galactica (2003)\Battlestar Galactica (2003) S01E04 - Act of Contrition, like so:



3. I'd like to have the original folders and their contents deleted after steps #1 and #2 above are completed.

I believe you requested the log data, but I haven't a clue where to find it, as there are no text files in the FilBot program folder? And since I've read you "don't get out of bed" for less than 50Euro, I've made a contribution and hope that will buy me a little patience, goodwill and gentle handling despite my utter and complete lack of knowledge about the scripting and automation process. Thanks so much for helping me out!

This would be a bad way to organize files. I'd stick with the defaults. That being said, you can take complete control of the naming scheme by passing in your own formats. See Change how files will be organized and renamed section in the manual.

Since you made a donation, I will give you a solution, but I would not personally recommend doing it this way:

Code: Select all

--def movieFormat="E:/{plex.name}" seriesFormat="D:/{n}/{plex.name}"

Using the root folder of a drive is a bad idea. You should always create a folder (e.g. X:/Files) and use that for your daily activities.


3.
You can't have that. Because Windows. You'll have to delete files from utorrent (which is locking the files) when you're done seeding. You'd have to do that anyway even if you somehow managed to take away the files from under utorrent.

I recommend keeping all your downloads and completed and organized files on the same drive so that you can use hardlinks instead of physical copies when copying files. That way you can have the same file multiple times without spending extra disk space. If you want to delete files to save disk space, then the answer isn't deleting files, but using hardlinks instead of physical copies: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hard_link

Thank you so much for the help! Just one question - where does that new code go? Should I simply append it to the end of this code:

Code: Select all

filebot -script fn:amc --output "X:/Media" --action copy --conflict skip -non-strict --log-file amc.log --def unsorted=y music=y artwork=y "ut_label=%L" "ut_state=%S" "ut_title=%N" "ut_kind=%K" "ut_file=%F" "ut_dir=%D"

to look like this:

Code: Select all

filebot -script fn:amc --output "X:/Media" --action copy --conflict skip -non-strict --log-file amc.log --def unsorted=y music=y artwork=y "ut_label=%L" "ut_state=%S" "ut_title=%N" "ut_kind=%K" "ut_file=%F" "ut_dir=%D" --def movieFormat="E:/{plex.name}" seriesFormat="D:/{n}/{plex.name}"

Or must I do something else when pasting this to uTorrent's "Run Program" feature? To be honest, if I can get JUST this to work, I'd be absolutely ecstatic, and have no problems going back and deleting the original files. I've seen the hardlink feature but haven't ever heard it explained. I'll look into it and thanks again!!

[rednoah]

This should work:

Code: Select all

filebot -script fn:amc --output "X:/Media" --action copy --conflict skip -non-strict --log-file amc.log --def movieFormat="E:/{plex.name}" seriesFormat="D:/{n}/{plex.name}" unsorted=y music=y artwork=y "ut_label=%L" "ut_state=%S" "ut_title=%N" "ut_kind=%K" "ut_file=%F" "ut_dir=%D"

[Latinkidmj]

I've replaced "X:Media" with E:\Completed and so far nothing works...all that happens is the files are transferred as normally but nothing is renamed or copied to the correct locations. So I've been manually correcting the names with FileBot but it's not running as I'd hope since posting the code you suggested above, see here:



Here's what I found on the amc.log file:

Did you read the log? The error messages seem pretty clear as to what you're doing wrong.


1.
Is X:\Media an existing directory?

Code: Select all

Illegal usage: output folder must exist and must be a directory: X:\Media

The error message says it all. --output must be set to an existing writable directory.


2.
Input folder and output folder must not be the same:

Code: Select all

Parameter: ut_dir = E:\Completed
...
Illegal usage: output folder [E:\Completed] must be separate from input folder

Create a folder E:\FileBot and set --output E:\FileBot so that input folder and output folder are separate from each other.

[Latinkidmj]

Hey, I think it worked!! So when I'm finished seeding I can delete the files in E:\Completed right?

[rednoah]

Pretty much. Since you'll have created extra physical copies or hardlinks.
