How to extract and rename?

[xadox]

I would like to extract rar files from a fix folder to a fix folder and rename them in one step.
Since I have no clue how to realise this it would be nice if someone can lend me a hand with it.

filebot -extract /path/to/archives/ --output /output/folder/
&&
filebot -rename /output/folder/ --output /path/to/final/destination/

[xadox]

Thx. Is there also a way to extract the files to series name folders?

Currently I am extracting the files with WinRar. Then I move the files to the NAS in the right series folder. And finaly I rename them with FileBot.

Extracting does't apply any special series/movie matching logic. You can script things the way you want if you really need to.

EDIT: FileBot can move files into any folder structure. Just define your template --format as absolute path. e.g. X:/TV/{n}/Season {s}/{episode}

Thx for the feedback.

From a folder Goldene.Hochzeit.mit.Handicap.2019.GERMAN.720p I would like to extract the rar and rename in one step as a Goldene Hochzeit mit Handicap 2019.mkv.

Use FileBot_4.8.5

#!/bin/sh
filebot -extract /home/rar/ --output /home/folder/
filebot -rename /home/folder/ --output /home/final/

root@debian:/home/scripts# ./rar.sh
Read archive [muhhd-goldenehochzeitmithandicap-hdtv.rar] and extract to [/home/folder]
Extracting files [/home/folder/muhhd-goldenehochzeitmithandicap-hdtv.mkv]
"-rename/home/folder/" is not a valid option
root@debian:/home/scripts#

thanks for any help

You can do filebot -extract -rename ... to perform extraction and renaming with a single filebot command. However, FileBot internally will still extract files and then rename them.


Note that the issue at hand is unrelated to your question. You're simply missing a <space> in your command:

Code: Select all

"-rename/home/folder/" is not a valid option

Please read Cmdline and Argument Passing for details.

The sh script you pasted is likely not exactly the same as the sh script that is being executed and produced this error message.

thank you for your help
I got it with the unzip and rename
but one more question i have
I can set the path of the Extracting files myself

[rednoah]

The --output folder argument is used for that.

If you want different --output folder for -extract and -rename, then you'll have to make 2 separate filebot calls.

Hi
As soon as I try to unpack with the amc-custom.groovy script, the path changes
I would like to put the Extracting files on the target server. And not on the source server

Code: Select all

root@debian:~# filebot -extract /home/rar/* --output /home/folder/
Read archive [muhhd-goldenehochzeitmithandicap-hdtv.rar] and extract to [/home/folder]

If you're using filebot -script ... then you're not using filebot -extract ... so any answers that apply to filebot -extract ... calls may or may not apply to other commands, which may accept the same --options but interpret the values differently.


If you're using the amc script then you'll want read the Options section of the amc script manual page for additional configuration options:

--def extractFolder=/path/to/folder Extract archives to this folder

Is there a command to use filebot to extract recursively? Ex. Main folder > Folder1 > .rar1,.rar2 etc. Then Main folder > Folder 2> Folder 2a >rar1, rar2 etc.

Would it just be: filebot -extract /path/to/archives/* --output /output/folder/

[rednoah]

* is a shell thing, not a filebot thing.

-r is a filebot thing though:

Code: Select all

-r                                     : Recursively expand folders
