Streaming Channel's Need Help

[taylor4747]

I have used various tools that in the end, create a file of "Streams". Attached is the end result as it looks in the folder. The files are just links back to the streaming location. All these go into one folder - both TV and Movies. I need a script that will take the .strm files, move them to either a movie or tv folder, ensure they are readable to xbmc, pull in artwork, length of move or tv show (important) and then create nfo for folder. The length is important because me end goal, is to be able to have a guide of the streaming choices available. I have a java app that is pulling in these streams. I would like Filebot to monitor folder as a watch folder and move files appropriately every x hours.

Can u send me some sample files of these .strm files? And how would I know the length of such a stream file? I can get values from DBs but that may not be exactly the same as the actual stream.

The first and easy to fix issue would to treat .strm as if they were video files. That's why it's not working at all right now, it's ignored as designed.

[taylor4747]

This forum will not take the strm files. May I send to an email address?

[taylor4747]

how about a dropbox link:

Looking at the stream files these stream URLs looks very specific for XBMC and can't be played by any other software, I definitely won't be able to access the media data.

What I did with r1707 is to add .strm as video type extension. That'll be enough to make sorting work as filebot mostly looks at the filename anyway as humans would do.

I'll upload a test jar for u tomorrow:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/filebo ... ebot/HEAD/

[taylor4747]

Yes, I figured there would be no way to read the media details from the stream so just pulling from imdb or whoever database you use is fine. i assume that if you know the title, we can get the details = run time, etc etc. May not be 100% accurate but it is close enough for gov work. I am unsure of what to do with the file you linked me to.

[rednoah]

Grab the latest .jar from the link above and override FileBot.jar in your FileBot install folder with it. Updating to the latest revision basically.

Here's a movie/episode naming schemes with runtime just as examples:

Code: Select all

{n} ({y}) [{info.runtime}min]

Code: Select all

{n} - {s00e00} - {t} - [{info.runtime}min]

Once it works manually in the GUI we can start trying to run the AMC to fully automate the setup.

[taylor4747]

Great, thanks I will work with it tonight, been awhile since i worked it with the gui, forgot how

[rednoah]

Next step is basically just calling AMC and hooking it up with those formats. If you're moving files u can just call it every few hours. If it's leaving files we may need to add some index of what has already been process and what hasn't.

[rednoah]

Here's my current test setup for this:

Code: Select all

D:\>filebot -script fn:amc "D:\workspace\testdata\AMC-TEST" --output "D:\OUTPUT" --action test -non-strict --def "seriesFormat={n} - {s00e00} - {t} - [{info.runtime}min]" "movieFormat={n} ({y}) [{info.runtime}min]"
Parameter: seriesFormat = {n} - {s00e00} - {t} - [{info.runtime}min]
Parameter: movieFormat = {n} ({y}) [{info.runtime}min]
Argument: D:\workspace\testdata\AMC-TEST
Input: D:\workspace\testdata\AMC-TEST\Elysium.2013.360p.strm
Elysium.2013.360p.strm [series: Elysium, movie: Elysium (2013)]
Exclude Series: Elysium
Group: [tvs:null, mov:Elysium (2013), anime:null] => [Elysium.2013.360p.strm]
Rename movies using [TheMovieDB]
Auto-detect movie from context: [D:\workspace\testdata\AMC-TEST\Elysium.2013.360p.strm]
[TEST] Rename [D:\workspace\testdata\AMC-TEST\Elysium.2013.360p.strm] to [D:\OUTPUT\Elysium (2013) [109min].strm]

Does not seem to be picking them up. But, it has been a long time since I used it from the GUI, I have always used the torrent command. My plan is to have it watch folders C:\Stream\Movies and C:\Stream\TV Shows and move them to a folder that XBMC watches at C:\Media. I might be doing something wrong with the GUI. I attached the error message I got. I am wondering if we ran it with your script, if it would work as it might be user error on my part. However, I am unfamiliar on how to run your script when I dont have a space such as utorrent to place the command. Where do I place it?

I attached the error. You just let me know what I owe you, I have no problem at all paying for your services. This is saving me many headaches.

Also, I am not concerned with the runtime being in the title, I just need the run time tagged or wherever it is kept in xbmc files = I assume on the nfo file, so that the guide can pick it up. The naming structure I would like to keep as xbmc format and write the run time on the nfo

[taylor4747]

One more comment, can the network ie abc, cbs be written in the nfo file?

[rednoah]

* That error looks weird, try again grabbing the latest HEAD jar (r1710)
* AMC will create .nfo files which for TV Shows also include the network

First you can try to run with Windows CMD and see if it's working correctly:

Code: Select all

filebot -script fn:amc "D:\workspace\testdata\AMC-TEST" --output "D:\OUTPUT" --action test -non-strict --def artwork=y

If that works you can try setting up a Windows Scheduler Task:
http://windows.microsoft.com/is-is/wind ... ule-a-task

The executable would be filebot.exe and the arguments everything starting with -script fn:amc ...

[taylor4747]

So just to make sure i am doing this right, I am downloading the file you direct me to into the filebot directory. however, the exe file is not unchanged. The file you are giving me is just an extra. So i do that and I run from cmd line and I get:

hit button to fast

[rednoah]

I see. I looks like the latest revision requires Java 7 but you're running with Java 6. I highly recommend using Java 7 anyway.

[taylor4747]

Oh, well that's easy. Will do and try.

[rednoah]

The newer jars I uploaded should be Java 6 compatible now, hopefully. Otherwise let me know how you fare and just let me know if you need need more examples or experience any issues.

[taylor4747]

Sorry to be such a pain, but I installed java 7 on a new install of windows, and i got the following. I am sure this is my issue and I was unsure which one I would take that was compatabile with 6

[rednoah]

This is just a warning, just ignore it. It's Java not being able to access system-wide registry settings. This is a Java warning unrelated to filebot and it won't affect filebot running at all.

[taylor4747]

Took weekend off, but back at it. Now i have ???? Which or course, I am ???

[taylor4747]

Sorry, again too fast on button

[rednoah]

Looks like it can't find any video files in that folder. Do you have other video-type extension u want me to add other than .strm type?

[taylor4747]

No, was just these. You think we can go it?

[rednoah]

Then I assume the folder you passed in to filebot/amc in the screenshot above is empty, or at least doesn't contain any video files.
