[n00b] How to use FileBot Node

[Predator2912]

Hello from Germany,
sorry for my bad English.

I have no experience with any media server or clients and therefore neither with Filebot or something else.
But now I would like to watch my series on the nas and I would like to check or change the data with filebot node.

I used this HowTo for Installing Filebot and Filebot Node on my NAS DS916+ incl. the latest DSM Version.

But somehow I do not understand anything
For a first Test i would change one Season with Filebot and TheTVDB.

The original looks like this:
filebot_serien_test/TV Serien/12_Monkeys/Season 1
12-monkeys-dd51-sed-dl-7p -x264-101.mkv

And is to be renamed to:
filebot_serien_neu/TV Serien/Serienname"from-TheTVDB"/Season X/
Serienname"from-TheTVDB"-Serientitel"from-TheTVDB"-S01E01.video resolution


-----------------------------------------

-----------------------------------------

Code: Select all

filebot -script 'fn:amc' '/volume1/filebot_serien_test/TV Serien/12_Monkeys/Season 1/' --output '/volume1/filebot_serien_sortiert/TV Serien' --action test --conflict auto --lang de --def 'ut_label=tv' 'music=y' 'unsorted=y' 'deleteAfterExtract=y' 'seriesFormat={n}/Season {s}/{n} - {t} - {´s´+s.pad(2)}e{e.pad(2)}.{vf}' --log all

Where is my mistake?
And for what is: matchfilter / ignore rules / exclude list ... thought
What or which commands are entered there? I have nothing found here in the Forum.

I hope you can help me and
Many Many Thanks

Set input and output and don't change anything else. Once that's working, you can make customizations step-by-step and see what it does.


1.
Your format is incorrect.

NO:

Code: Select all

´s´

YES:

Code: Select all

's'

Did you use Microsoft Word to write a format? There is software that automatically changes " and ' to other characters. Do not use this kind of software.


I recommend using the Format Editor GUI for prototyping your format:
http://www.filebot.net/naming.html




2.
The --filter, --def ignore and --def excludeList options are documented and explained in the manual:
viewtopic.php?f=4&t=215

If you don't know what an option does, I then recommend using the suggested default value. You can always fine-tune things later step-by-step.

[Predator2912]

Wow

thanks for your quick Answer.
I do not notice that the format is wrong but I test it later or tomorrow again.

And thanks for the Link to the Manual I'll read that tomorrow and hope it helps me.

[Predator2912]

It looks very good so far, now I have to make the fine tunning.
However, I still have one more question to you.

I found this Thread viewtopic.php?f=6&t=42&start=75 but I do not understand much of it

It is now possible to rename a nfo file?
Simple like: (all files in the same folder)

from:
movie12345-action-uncut.mkv
movie12345-action-uncut.nfo

to:
uncut_movie-action.mkv
uncut_movie-action.nfo

So if the original nfo file is named as the film, filebot node renamed the nfo file automatically to new Moviename.nfo ??


Thx

[rednoah]

--def artwork=y is what you want.

The amc script does not import existing nfo files. Instead, it'll generate new standardized xml nfo files for you.

Hello again,

i have some new Questions and hope you can help me once again
and sorry for my stupid questions but it´s all new for me

I find that the strict mode is the easiest way for me at the moment.
But there is one Problem.

1.
Serie "Bones"
Input Folder /Data/TV Series/Bones
Tv Series/Bones/Episode 1 to /Bones/Episode 11 but at the Folder "Episode 10" an "Episode 11" i became a
Multiple queries Error

Code: Select all

Auto-detected query: [Bones, euhd bones]
CmdlineException: Multiple queries: Processing multiple shows at once requires -non-strict matching: [Bones, euhd bones]

Is there a way to exclude both folders during the first run with strict mode?
And after that a way only for the both folders with no-strict?
Or how do to the best way

2.
At the Moment i´ve nothing Change at the Exclude List so there is standard .excludes.
After some Changes i made a dry run test and after that i would excute to finale it but:

Code: Select all

Run script [fn:amc] at [Sun May 21 15:18:12 CEST 2017]
Parameter: music = y
Parameter: deleteAfterExtract = y
Parameter: seriesFormat = TV Serien/{n} ({Y})/Season {s.pad(2)}/{n} ({Y}) - {'S'+s.pad(2)}E{e.pad(2)} - {t}_[{resolution}p]_{vc}
Parameter: excludeList = .excludes
Argument[0]: /volume1/filebot_serien_sortiert/TV Series/Bones
Use excludes: /volume2/Daten/.excludes (281)
No files selected for processing
Done ヾ(＠⌒ー⌒＠)ノ

So the Files from the Test run are written in the excludelist, how can i handel this?

Thanks again to you

I would generally recommend using -non-strict mode. If your media files aren't well-named already, then strict mode will most likely be too strict for a good number of files.

@see viewtopic.php?f=3&t=4695


You can use the --def ignore option to exclude files from processing though.


2.
If you use --action test (i.e. Dry Run) then the exclude list will not be modified. You can delete or modify the exclude list if you want to process the same files for real multiple times.

Oh Okay,
then I will test or practice it with the no-string mode.

Can i used " --q Bones " in no-string mode to force or select this Titel so that euhd bones would be ignored?
or anythingelse?

Code: Select all

Auto-detected query: [Bones, euhd bones]
CmdlineException: Multiple queries: Processing multiple shows at once requires -non-strict matching: [Bones, euhd bones]

And under your Link i found this:
If you find a bad match, just hit the DELETE key to remove the selected match Image from the list.

What does it mean and is there an command for it if it can help me?

This is strange
But I keep watching this.

The amc script does not support the --q option. If you want to use that, then you need log in with SSH and make simple -rename --q calls yourself. There's not point though, because in -non-strict mode it'll just work.

Please send me the full file path of the files that can't be processed in strict mode, so I can update the blacklist if possible:
viewtopic.php?f=5&t=4


2.
The link explains the concepts of strict and non-strict mode. Anything that refers to the GUI application (e.g. such clicking buttons) does not apply to the command-line tools you're using.

[Predator2912]

Oh Okay.

I thought the commands also work in the node.
Then I think it is the best or easiest way if I would used the Node to learning
and to create a "standard commando line".

The fine Tunning and the finale "rename" over the log in with ssh.

[rednoah]

FileBot Node is a wrapper for the amc script. You cannot call other commands or scripts.

[Predator2912]

But i can Used Filebot CLI over the ssh log in or is that wrong? Or do I make a mistake?

And If is right i can used/change:

Code: Select all

filebot -script 'fn:amc' '/volume1/TV Series/Bones/' --output /volume2/Daten --action test --conflict auto --lang de --def 'music=y' 'deleteAfterExtract=y' 'seriesFormat=TV Serien/{n} ({Y})/Season {s.pad(2)}/{n} ({Y}) - {'\''S'\''+s.pad(2)}E{e.pad(2)} - {t}_[{resolution}p]_{vc}' 'excludeList=done1.txt'

to something like that

Code: Select all

filebot -rename '/volume1/TV Series/Bones/' --output /volume2/Daten/TV Serien/ --action test -non-strict --db TheTVDB --q Bones --conflict auto --lang de --format '{n} ({Y})/Season {s.pad(2)}/{n} ({Y}) - {'\''S'\''+s.pad(2)}E{e.pad(2)} - {t}_[{resolution}p]_{vc}.{cf}'

or not?
