Filebot CLI doesn't start

Post by mallox »

First, I'm far from a linux expert.
I run Ubuntu 12.04 amd64 and I PAID on Ubuntu software center for Filebot. Install it... but when I enter in a terminal any Filebot command it doesn't work.. It's say that Filebot command doesn't exist.

The only way to start it is to enter in the terminal:
/opt/filebot/bin/filebot.sh

But my problem is to have the amc script start from transmission.

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash
filebot -script fn:amc --output "$HOME/Videos" --log-file amc.log --action copy --conflict override -non-strict --def artwork=y "ut_dir=$TR_TORRENT_DIR/$TR_TORRENT_NAME" "ut_kind=multi" "ut_title=$TR_TORRENT_NAME"
I try to replace the filebot command by :
/opt/filebot/bin/filebot.sh
But still doesn't start Filebot.

So please can someone tell me:

1. Why does

Code: Select all

filebot -help
isn't accepted as command?

2.How can I change my script to call filebot?

As far as I can tell replacing the command filebot with /opt/filebot/bin/filebot.sh should always work.

In any case, glad you got it working. :mrgreen:
