Different behaviour between GUI and CLI

[Koni]

Hello there,
I have an issue to identify TV shows using CLI while it works fine with GUI.

Using Filebot Gui
1) In rename mode, I use Load button to select "C:\test\malc" folder
2) I set match preferences to "Strict", "French" language and "Airdate" order
3) Right click on match then, fetch data from theTVDB

All episodes are identified fine without any question / popup

Using CLI
I use following command line :

Code: Select all

filebot ^
C:\test\malc ^
-script ^
fn:amc ^
--output ^
C:\test\out ^
--action ^
move ^
--order ^
airdate ^
--conflict ^
skip ^
--lang ^
fr ^
--def ^
clean=y ^
skipExtract=y ^
minLengthMS=0 ^
minFileSize=0 ^
unsorted=n ^
seriesFormat="{n}/{'Saison '+s}/{n} - {s00e00} - {t.replaceAll(/[:]/, \"-\").replaceAll(/[`]/, \"'\")}" ^
--log ^
all ^
--log-file ^
C:\test\filebot.log

Here is the result :

Code: Select all

C:\test>runfilebot.bat

C:\test>filebot C:\test\malc -script fn:amc --output C:\test\out --action move --order airdate --conflict skip --lang fr --def clean=y skipExtract=y minLengthMS=0 minFileSize=0 unsorted=n seriesFormat="{n}/{'Saison '+s}/{n} - {s00e00} - {t.replaceAll(/[:]/, \"-\").replaceAll(/[`]/, \"'\")}" --log all --log-file C:\test\filebot.log

* Consider using -non-strict to enable advanced auto-selection

Do you have an idea why behaviour is different ?
Please let me know if I can test something.

[rednoah]

GUI and CLI are not necessarily identical, especially not in Strict Mode, because the GUI won't do anything without your approval, and thus can get away with being less strict for added convenience.

e.g. GUI will sometimes answer its own questions without bothering you, while the CLI prompts you to be more explicit in advance before moving on to processing files without your explicit approval:

Code: Select all

Consider using --filter "id in [73838]" or --q "Malcolm" to select one option

Hi Rednoah,

Thanks for your help.
Is there a way to get the same behaviour for CLI and GUI (by adding a parameter to command line ?)
Maybe I can help CLI detection by adding a list of tv show I already have ? Is there a way to do that ?

Regards,

[rednoah]

You can use the --filter option to whitelist or blacklist options in advance:
viewtopic.php?t=2127

As long as --filter eliminates all but one option, then Strict Mode will be happy to process that one option.

Hi,

I will end up by using this filter :

Code: Select all

--filter "( lines('C:/test/tvlist.txt').contains(n) && type == /Episode/ ) || ( type == /Movie/ )"

This will allow me to provide a list of known TV shows and disable filtering for Movies.
Next job is to generate tvlist.txt from folder names.

Small comment : readLines in filter is now deprecated, we should use lines instead.

Thanks a lot for your help !

[rednoah]

You could probably write it like this:

Code: Select all

any{episode; n in output.list()}{ true }

episode ... fails if the current object isn't an Episode object
output.list() ... file and folder listing for your --output folder (you may need to adjust this depending on your series format)
