Movie Mode : hr:min:sec format

[RBCC]

I would like to use hours,minutes and seconds to achieve the duration of a movie in the format of hours : minutes : seconds for example using 412 seconds is 6 minutes and 56 seconds or 6:56 . if the math is 412/60 = 6 and56/60 seconds. how is this done ? so the output is 6:56 thank you for the help! John

e.g.

Code: Select all

{ duration.format('HH∶mm∶ss') }

We're using ∶ ratio instead of : colon since the latter is not allowed in file paths.

[RBCC]

using {d} can I format it like dec/25/2023?

[rednoah]

e.g.

Code: Select all

{ d.format('MMM dd yyyy') }

Note that / is not allowed in file names.

IS there a way I can create an array to hold these :
array[1]="Sports"
array[2]="how to"
array[3} ="shorts"
Thank you for any Ideas , John

[rednoah]

e.g.

Code: Select all

def names = ['A', 'B', 'C']

Can I use that in to GUI??

[rednoah]

Yes. Format Expressions work the same in GUI and CLI.

[RBCC]

can I see an example of it in GUI? thank you, John

[rednoah]

What have you tried so far? Where are you stuck? Please include screenshots so that we can see what you see.

[RBCC]

Code: Select all

{def characters=["Mickey"," Minnie"," Donald" ,"Daisy"]} {assert characters instance of List}

?How do I use them in my

Code: Select all

{"Main Charcter∶ " } {character.??? }

Please rewrite if necessary! Thank you John

What does the code you wrote try to do? The list is correct, but it's unclear what you're trying to do with that list.

[kim]

Code: Select all

{def characters=["Mickey"," Minnie"," Donald" ,"Daisy"]; characters instanceof List}

stop this and use a CSV file like rednoah wrote back in 2018

viewtopic.php?p=56089#p56089
viewtopic.php?p=40459#p40459

maybe you can use this ?

Code: Select all

{ def Character = net.filebot.WebServices.TheTVDB.getActors(series.id, Locale.ENGLISH).character.findAll{it}.collect{it.split('/')*.replaceAll(/\s\(.*\)|\sand/, '')*.trim()*.tokenize(',')}.flatten().unique();
Character.take(4)
}

sample:

Code: Select all

[Daisy Duck, Huey, Dewey, Louie]

or

Code: Select all

[Daffy Duck, Bugs Bunny, Porky Pig, Speedy Gonzales]

I don't know why there is not builtin way of doing this ?

I am trying to use it in renaming files with filebot(in Gui).such as
{"character :") ( character. name[1] } for Mickey Mouse. DO i have to define the List first?

[kim]

Don't write "code", but tell us the END RESULT you want and a sample show to test with.

Code: Select all

{"character :") ( character.name[1] } 

?

Code: Select all

{character.name[1]}

=

No such property: character for class

=
bad code

This does like above but work:

Code: Select all

{ def Character = net.filebot.WebServices.TheTVDB.getActors(series.id, Locale.ENGLISH).character.findAll{it}.collect{it.split('/')*.replaceAll(/\s\(.*\)|\sand/, '')*.trim()*.tokenize(',')}.flatten().unique();
'character: ' + Character[0]
}

you want "show" to = same characters in the way you want every time then use a CSV file like rednoah wrote back in 2018
viewtopic.php?p=36619#p36619

4. Mappings from a CSV file

Code: Select all

{ csv('/path/to/names.csv').get(n) ?: n }

something IN and output what you want

[rednoah]

Creating a list, and then taking the first element from that list would look like this:

Code: Select all

{
	def characters = ["Mickey", "Minnie", "Donald", "Daisy"]
	characters[0]
}

The code above, if used as is, not useful, since it's just gonna yield the same constant value, thus functionally equivalent to just writing the value without any code at all:

Code: Select all

Mickey

Presumably, you want to retrieve the names of characters from your selected database. This may or may not be supported depending on your chosen database.



For TheMovieDB / Movie Mode this will work:

Code: Select all

{ info.cast[0].character }

e.g.

Code: Select all

$ filebot -list --db TheMovieDB --q 19995 --format "{ info.cast[0].character }"
Jake Sully

If you want the same for episodes, then that is less well supported, and may or may not work for the individual episode from the chosen database, on a case-by-base basis:

Code: Select all

{ episode.info.cast[0].character }

e.g.

Code: Select all

$ filebot -list --db TheMovieDB::TV --q 01437 --format "{episode} => { episode.info.cast[0].character }"
Firefly - 1x01 - The Train Job => Lund
Firefly - 1x02 - Bushwhacked => Commander Harken
Firefly - 1x03 - Our Mrs. Reynolds =>
Firefly - 1x04 - Jaynestown => Magistrate Higgins
