Move files to specific folders

Post by GeorgeAl »

I want to move from the download directory (H:\Downloads) to H:\WD\Series (if they are tv shows) and/or H:\WD\Movies (if they are movie files).
Can you help me?

P.S. I am using jDownloader2, and I can not make AMC work correctly.

Yes, that is what the amc script does. Please read the manual to get started.

If you're not familiar with the command-line, then I would recommend using the GUI, it can do everything you want just as well, just easier:

Well, the amc script that I kindly linked for you earlier seems to have an appropriately named Run from cmdline section that you might be interested in reading:

Want to try it out first? Running directly from cmdline is even easier and if you set --action test you can do a dry-run and see if everything gets matched up correctly:

Code: Select all

filebot -script fn:amc --output "/path/to/output" --action duplicate -non-strict "/path/to/input" --log-file amc.log --def excludeList=amc.txt
  • If you run this script manually, you can set --mode interactive to enable console-interactive mode.
  • If you run this script automatically in intervals every hour or every day, then you must set --def excludeList or you will get banned.

This code is not correct, because f.isMovie() can very well yield true even even if we're formatting an Episode object. Checking {plex.root} might make more sense.


Though I'd do neither, and keep it simple:

Code: Select all

--output H:/WD --format {plex}

In my quick test it worked.... but ok then try this:

Code: Select all

{'H:/WD/'}{plex.parentFile.parent == 'Movies' ? 'Movies/' : 'Series/'}{plex.tail}

The correct code is

Code: Select all

H:\WD\Series\{n.replaceTrailingBrackets()} ({episodelist.airdate.year.bounds().join ('-')})  /Season {s} ({episodelist.findAll{it.season == s}.airdate.year.min()}) / {n} - {sxe} - {t}
