Move failed files to new location

[OdinTGE]

If my script to rename and move new shows fails on a particular file(s) for any reason, is it possible to, instead of doing nothing with it, moving it (un-renamed) to a new location? I'd like to have one place to look for misfits.

What's the command? What does the console output say?

If you're using the amc script, then you'll want to check out the --def unsorted parameter:
viewtopic.php?t=215

This was what I needed. Thank you.

I hadn't had a chance to check in on things since I set --def unsorted to y until today. It hasn't been doing anything. The log clearly shows it as set to y, then fails to ID a file (multiple options), then behaves as if --def unsorted was set to n and does nothing. In one case I just tried, it not only didn't put the file into the unsorted folder, it deleted the temporary unrared file as if it had succeeded.

I am aware of using age which works well sometimes, and non-strict which in my experience is a bad idea. I'm fine with it not being 100% automated on every file, but I very much want the unsorted feature to work. I do not want to have to dig through 30 folders looking for the files that didn't ID.

--def unsorted is actively used by many users and confirmed to be generally working, though why it doesn't work for you we cannot say without logs:

Code: Select all

Run script [fn:amc] at [Thu Jan 06 15:13:21 CST 2022]
Parameter: seriesFormat = F:/TV/{ny}/{ny} - Season {s00}/{ny} - {s00e00} - {t}
Parameter: seriesDB = TheTVDB
Parameter: ut_label = TV
Parameter: clean = y
Parameter: excludeList = amc.txt
Parameter: Unsorted = y
Argument[0]: F:\Torrents
Use excludes: F:\TV\amc.txt (92)

Followed by it ignoring stuff from my exludes file, then extracting, then finding multiple options for what the file could be, then

Code: Select all

Multiple Options: F:\Torrents\Chicago.Med.S07E10.720p.WEB.H264-PECULATE\chicago.med.s07e10.720p.web.h264-peculate\Chicago.Med.S07E10.720p.WEB.H264-PECULATE\Chicago.Med.S07E10.720p.WEB.H264-PECULATE.mkv: [Chicago Med, Chicago P.D.]
* Consider using -non-strict to enable advanced auto-selection
* Consider using --filter "id in [295640]" or --q "Chicago Med" to select one specific series
* Consider using --mode interactive to enable interactive mode
Failed to identify or process any files

Abort (×_×)

It struggles mightily with the Chicago, NCIS, and FBI shows etc. which I wouldn't be too bothered by if it would go ahead and move all those into the Unsorted folder so I could quickly deal with it using the GUI, but instead it does not move them. Most of the time it leaves them un-rared in the folders, but once I've seen it just delete that so I had to manually extract later.

Code: Select all

Parameter: Unsorted = y

--def Unsorted=y has no effect because script parameters are case-sensitive.


Please use copy and paste:

Code: Select all

--def unsorted=y

The default --def unsortedFormat looks like this:
viewtopic.php?t=3195
