Absolute Order and Match Mapper

[spetrillo]

With FileBot Node there are two options I am not familiar with. Episode order is set to Absolute Order. In my CLI I do not have the option of --order Absolute, so what does this option do for me? Second what is the match mapper used for, as it has AnimeList.AniDB listed in there now?

1.
--order Absolute is a perfectly valid option:

Code: Select all

filebot -help

Code: Select all

--order [Airdate, DVD, Absolute, AbsoluteAirdate] : Episode order

2.
The --mapper option has been added rather recently:

Code: Select all

--mapper {expression}: Mapper expression

So if my original CLI does not have --order what is the default?

[rednoah]

Not specifying --order at all is the same as specifying --order Airdate.

FileBot Node should always explicitly specify --order when running commands AFAIK.

FileBot Node does have --order but my CLI I was running on my Windows PC did not have it, so that is why I was trying to figure out the default.

Last item for now...can I change the location of filebot.log from /usr/local/filebot-node/data via FileBot Node? It would be immensely helpful to be able to see this file rather than having to use WinSCP to get it. Ideally I would like it located where my exclude text file is.

FileBot Node internals such as log file locations cannot be modified. If you're on a remote host, then you'll want to use FileBot Node to view logs.


FileBot Node (client-side) is using HTTP requests to retrieve logs, so you could do the same via curl or your browser to view or download them.

Ok got it...I see the printer icon in the bottom left of the Node dialog and can grab the filebot.log there...thanks!
