Multiple operation

[Con7e]

Hello

I need a command line string for filebot to do this:

- First, search a video folder of my choosing and get italian subtitles. If italian subtitles are not available, get english ones.
- Second, rename all the files in the video folder
- Quit filebot

How can I achive this?

Just get English AND Italian subs...

The "Quit FileBot" part makes me wonder if you know what cmdline means... but here goes:

e.g. this is a start, but you wanna look into all the other options to fine-tunes things:

Code: Select all

filebot -get-missing-subtitles --lang it .
filebot -get-missing-subtitles --lang en .
filebot -rename -non-strict .

I know what a command line is. I wrote that point because I will be implementing these commands in one of my python scripts Thank you.

EDIT:

I have a prob. Everything works fine, but the thing is, I really only need 1 pair of subs. Italian or english if italian is not available. Filebot gets me both so I have 2 subtitles for each video file. Isn't there a way for it to check if a subtitle is already present, to skip searching for it?

You can check that with python. You can call filebot with multiple file arguments instead of a folder so it should be really easy to filter out the files that already have subs after the --lang it run.

You can rename the .ita.srt part to .eng.srt That'll make filebot think English subs are already available and skip it

Ok, i created myself a little script to do that. I have a problem though... Why Filebot gets the wrong subs for the shows?

It doesn't happen every time, but on 20 files, at least 4 didn't match my tv show. I mean, I had, for example, and episode of "Person of Interest" and the subtitle got with Filebot was of an episode of "Criminal Minds" D: . This happens way too often then expected.

Is it hash lookup or text lookup?

It's probably some idiots linking moviehash with the wrong subtitles. You could check with OpenSubtitles on that one, there's little I can do, I get back what I get back.

If you don't set -non-strict it'll be more reliable but also fetch less subtitles. If you send me the logs I can have a looks.

[Con7e]

It's via hash lookup and I need the -non-strict parameter. Well, it's not a big deal in the end... just was curious why it happens . Thanks!

[rednoah]

there maybe be chance of hash collision but it's much more likely that some person just uploaded a bad moviehash/subtitle pair


EDIT: Had a quick look and i just use the first result from the options i get back from OpenSubtitles. Fixed that with r1844 by doing my own relevance sorting to pick the best match.

I've just updated. I'll se how it goes, thanks.
