test.groovy

We're including Groovy code here, as opposed to FileBot Format Expression code, which interprets {...} delimited expressions as Groovy code. If we include Groovy code from within Groovy code, like in the example above, then Groovy code is expected.

YES:

Code: Select all

{evaluate 'n'}

Same as {n}

NO:

Code: Select all

{evaluate '{n}'}

Same as {{n}}

Oh, I see, I always was under the impression that the format expressions were just plain groovy. Shame on me.

Yeah, getting results now. Thanks!

Posted: **21 Jun 2019, 07:38**

No worries. It’s a common misconception, since Groovy Code itself may also contain {} for close blocks or closures. So the semantics depend on the context.

After playing around a bit this is awesome.

However:
Trying to break out certain helpers as separate scripts it seems that there is an issue with loading external scripts unless everything is placed and run from the filebot portable folder (which I'd like to avoid since I have all my scripts backuped to a gdrive synced folder).

If I have a
tags.groovy file that grabs my preferred tag format, I can't seem to get it to load.

I've tried:
include 'getEditions.groovy' // this works fine if I place my groovy files in the lib, but if I run it from where I actually have my files it tries to load it from $CWD

After googling the recommended way is to do:

Code: Select all

def scriptDir =  getClass().protectionDomain.codeSource.location.path
include '$scriptDir/getEditions.groovy'

However, that blows up with

Code: Select all

AccessControlException: access denied ("java.lang.RuntimePermission" "getProtectionDomain")

I've tried granting access to all apps for that permission, but it doesn't seem to work.
Even doing:

Code: Select all

grant {
    permission java.security.AllPermission;
};

Doesn't work.

Is there some additional arguments I can give filebot to figure out which path to load files from, or is it all handled by the JVM?

1.
Your code just doesn't do what you think it does:

Code: Select all

def x = 1
println '$x = 1' // $x = 1
println "$x = 1" // 1 = 1

http://groovy-lang.org/syntax.html#_str ... erpolation

2.
I'd use environment variables if I wanted to pass in some common folder paths for use in custom scripts:

Code: Select all

export FILEBOT_FORMAT_D="$HOME/.gdrive/FileBot Formats"

Code: Select all

_environment.FILEBOT_FORMAT_D

or via --def name=value if you need it in the format engine:

Code: Select all

filebot ... --def FormatFolder="$FILEBOT_FORMAT_D"

Code: Select all

{defines.FormatFolder}

FileBot r6524 will now resolve include("files.groovy") relatively to the current script file by default.

Great!

Thanks for pointing out that string interpolation thing, completely missed the single quotes difference (still threw the security exception but that's irrelevant now I guess).

The --def was exactly what I was thinking of as a workaround.

Thanks for the help!

Hi,

is there any option to add filebot xattr to already sorted files?

eg, i have multiple series where on some seasons the xattr from filebot are missing, so ne the " filebot missing script" does not work correct and think the season is missing.

Posted: **06 Jul 2019, 06:46**

You'll have to process files through FileBot again to ensure that xattr are set this time.

You can find files without xattr metadata like so:

Code: Select all

filebot -mediainfo . --filter '!f.metadata' --format {f}

Posted: **06 Jul 2019, 06:49**

thanks for your fast reply!

thats the first thing i did, but filebot says "Skipped, already exists".

Posted: **06 Jul 2019, 06:55**

1.
You can move all untagged files elsewhere first:

Code: Select all

filebot -mediainfo . --filter '!f.metadata' -exec mv -v {f} /path/to/untagged/files/{f.name}

2.
However, the general smart approach is to never touch files in your Media folder, and only ever move files there via FileBot. That way you can ensure that everything is always in perfect order.

i.e. just process all your files into a new folder, and then remove the old one if you're happy with the new one

Code: Select all

--format /path/to/new/folder/{plex}

I am interested in purchasing a license via crypto currency...

Posted: **03 Aug 2019, 00:10**

I followed your steps in post #1 and it works very well I just can't change any of the downloaded files because I have no permission.

How can I get filebot to create files/folders with correct permissions?

On my Media Drive all my files have:
Owner: 1000
Group: 100
Permissions: 775

Files renamed and moved from Filebot have:
Owner: 0
Group: 0
Permissions: 775

Posted: **03 Aug 2019, 07:26**

FileBot does not set or change permissions in any way. It does whatever the OS does by default.

The amc script does have the --def exec option though, which allows you to run your own post-processing commands on newly processed files:

Code: Select all

--def "exec=chmod -R 775 {quote folder} && chown -R admin:administrators {quote folder}"

Hi guys

Major noob here :-/

I am trying to use nothinghere's script.
And I am too new to the forums to write nothinghere a personal message
But I would use the script, BUT without the period between the words in the name ( for example "in.the.name.of the.rose). I would rather have "In the name of the rose"

Can anyone help me to change that in the movie and tv-episode scripts ?

Thanks.

Movies:

'-HD.MA' : ''}{audio.FormatProfile =~ /ES/ ? '-ES' : ''}{audio.FormatProfile =~ /Pro/ ? '-Pro' : ''}{'.'+af.replace('8 6ch', '7.1').replace('7 6ch', '6.1').replace('6ch', '5.1').replace('3ch', '2.1').replace('2ch','2.0').replace('1ch','1.0')}{def g = c{group}; def m = c{fn.match(/(?:(?<=[-])[a-z0-9]+$)|(?:^[a-z0-9]+(?=[-]))/)}; if(g==null && m!=null) return '-'+m.replace(/^tpz$/, 'TOPAZ'); if(g!=null && m!=null && m.lower()!=g.lower()) return '-'+m.replace(/^tpz$/, 'TOPAZ'); if(g!=null) return '-'+g;}
I am using the original title if it the alphabet used is latin based. If the original title is not the same as the english title, and the first spoken language is not Swedish, Norwegian or Danish I will add the English title as part of the filename. This way I can keep the original titles which I prefer, but still have a chance to find them/connect them to the English titles most commonly used when talking to people. The Nordic stuff is because I live there so I know which movies they are.
If you want to use the format but don't want the special hack for Nordic stuff remove the text: "&& !(info.SpokenLanguages[0] ==~ /(sv|da|no)/)"
The audio/movie codecs are hacked a bit to be named by their real/common names instead of the ones defined by mediainfo. I.e. DTS-HD MA, MP3, VC-1 instead of DTS MA Core, MPEG Audio and Microsoft respectively.

Examples:
Kôkaku.Kidôtai.2.0.(2008).Ghost.In.The.Shell.2.0.720p.REPACK.x264.DTS.5.1-timeshift.mkv // Latin characters but added english name
Jagten.(2012).1080p.BluRay.x264.DTS-HD.MA-GRYM.mkv // Original name only, primary language is Danish
My.Sassy.Girl.(2001).720p.BluRay.x264.AC3.5.1-EbP.mkv // Actual name is 엽기적인 그녀, or transliterated to Yeopgijeogin Geunyeo
I would have loved to figure out how to keep the transliterated names, but using {transliterate(info.OriginalTitle)}did not work perfectly, which meant a bunch of titles missed when doing searched.
For my sassy girl the transliteration was something like Yeobgi-jeogin Geunyeo or the like, which is really close, but far away to miss some lookups.

NOTE: I do not care for multipart files so I do not support them. I rip my movies as single files without any splits.

Series is a bit simpler as I only care about the name we get from TheTVDB (I have long since abandoned any hope that they'll change their mind and structure series as they were intended instead of simply how they where broadcasted):
Code: Select all
{n}/{episode.special ? 'Specials' : 'Season '+s}/{norm={it.upperInitial().lowerTrail().replaceTrailingBrackets().replaceAll(/\u0022/, '\'').replaceAll(/[:|]/, '.').replaceAll(/\?/, '!').replaceAll(/[*\s\.]+/, '.').replaceAll(/\b[IiVvXx]+\b/, { it.upper() }).replaceAll(/[0-9](th|nd|rd)/, { it.lower() })};norm(n) }.{episode.special ? 'S00E'+special.pad(2) : s00e00}.{norm(t)}{'.'+vf}{'.'+source}{'.'+fn.matchAll(/PROPER|REPACK/)*.upper().sort().join('.')}{'.'+vc.replace('Microsoft', 'VC-1')}{'.'+ac.replace('MPEG Audio', 'MP3')}{audio.FormatProfile =~ /MA Core/ ? '-HD.MA' : ''}{audio.FormatProfile =~ /ES/ ? '-ES' : ''}{audio.FormatProfile =~ /Pro/ ? '-Pro' : ''}{'.'+af.replace('8 6ch', '7.1').replace('7 6ch', '6.1').replace('6ch', '5.1').replace('3ch', '2.1').replace('2ch','2.0').replace('1ch','1.0')}{def g = c{group}; def m = c{fn.match(/(?:(?<=[-])[a-z0-9]+$)|(?:^[a-z0-9]+(?=[-]))/)}; if(g==null && m!=null) return '-'+m.replace(/^tpz$/, 'TOPAZ'); if(g!=null && m!=null && m.lower()!=g.lower()) return '-'+m.replace(/^tpz$/, 'TOPAZ'); if(g!=null) return '-'+g;}
NOTE: I do not pad the season numbering (i.e. I use Season 1, Season 2 instead of Season 01, Season 02).
Specials end up in a /Specials folder instead. Same thing for video/audio as movies have.

Examples:
Coupling\Season 1\Coupling.S01E01.Flushed.360p.DVDRip.x264.AAC.mkv
Doctor Horrible's Sing-Along Blog\Season 1\Doctor.Horrible's.Sing-Along.Blog.S01E01.Act.I.1080p.BluRay.x264.DTS-DIMENSION.mkv

If anyone wants to copy my thing entirely the script I use to sort everything is:
Code: Select all
filebot -script fn:amc "x:/downloads" --log-file d:\amc-run.log --output "//nas/" --action move --conflict skip -non-strict --def clean=y --def "movieFormat=Movies/{norm={it.upperInitial().lowerTrail().replaceTrailingBrackets().replaceAll(/\u0022/, '\'').replaceAll(/[:|]/, '.').replaceAll(/\?/, '!').replaceAll(/[*\s\.,]+/, '.').replaceAll(/\b[IiVvXx]+\b/, { it.upper() }).replaceAll(/[0-9](th|nd|rd)/, { it.lower() })};isLatin = {java.text.Normalizer.normalize(it, java.text.Normalizer.Form.NFD).replaceAll(/\p{InCombiningDiacriticalMarks}+/, '') ==~ /^\p{InBasicLatin}+$/}; isLatin(info.OriginalName) ? norm(info.OriginalName) : norm(primaryTitle) }.({y}){if(isLatin(info.OriginalName) && info.OriginalName != primaryTitle && !(info.SpokenLanguages[0] ==~ /(sv|da|no)/)) '.'+ norm(primaryTitle) }{'.'+vf}{'.'+source}{fn.contains('3D') || fn.contains('3-D') ?

Any idea when 4.8.6 is coming to the windows store?

Posted: **31 Aug 2019, 17:56**

The Microsoft Store package will be submitted to the Store on release day. Microsoft will then take a few days to test and publish.

4.8.6 has not been released yet. It's ready when it's ready. Probably sometime in September. You can help speed things up by trying the latest beta and providing feedback.

This works great. Any chance of this being an option within the application? Maybe under Preferences?

Things I can't seem to get quite right is I want it to

1. replace x265 or hevc with (X265)
2. replace x264 with (X264)

with what I have there it works sometimes and other times I have x265 and (X265) also on the same line

Posted: **08 Sep 2019, 18:31**

you only add tag if in filename

Code: Select all

	space + call{fn.matches(/(?i).+\bhevc.+?\b.+/) ? '(x265)' : ' '}+
	space + call{fn.matches(/(?i).+\bx265\b.+/) ? '(x265)' : ' '}+
	space + call{fn.matches(/(?i).+\b264\b.+/) ? '(x264)' : ' '}+

try something like this:

Code: Select all

{'(' + any{vc.match(/x26[45]/)}{vc} + ')'}

Not at all. It's just a variety of frequently requested features that more or less fall under the same umbrella. The future plan is to add selected post-processing features to the GUI and allow users to apply some of them as part of the rename process.

kim wrote: ↑15 Sep 2019, 00:06 where is this in the Docs ?
https://www.filebot.net/docs/api/

A public API is not planned. It doesn't do anything that isn't already implemented in the htpc.groovy script or otherwise commonly handled via -exec calls.

The --apply import metadata date url and --apply qnap syno options might be of some benefit to amc script users, though existing users probably already have custom solutions.

kim wrote: ↑15 Sep 2019, 00:06 what does this use to fetch stuff ?

It's doing more or less the same as the artwork.* scripts, using TheMovieDB / TheTVDB / FanartTV as the source of image files.

So... My prime uses has been anime renaming, rarely its a TV series or some Movies.

My feedback

1) places like Horrible subs which I use for anime, many times filebot doesn't pick the names. Reason could be two fold, a) many anime series names are in Japanese, out of those some names are easy to pick may be ones like Naruto, Megalobox, however longer names e.g. "Dungeon ni deai motomeru no wa machigatteiru darou ka" or a name that mixed up could be an issue. There I use things like BulkFileRenamer to rename bit of names of a batch of files to immediately convert the Japanese name of all files to English version. And then Filebot picks up the English name of the anime series quickly. So some bulk renaming option that could rename bits of batch file collection would be a great help. B) many of anime uploaded would put their name in front e.g. At horriblesubs all files are called (horriblesubs)Naruto - 245 (720p).mkv these sort of files at times also need BulkFile. It just helps me remove first 14 spaces of filenames and that solves the issue and FileBot picks it quickly and renaming entire batch is perfect.

2) same happens on tv/movie or music. So I use BulkFile and FileBot in tandem for things I wish to keep. For Music mp3tags or MediaMonkey I prefer more as their metadata I find much more easily. So if more metadate like how those two use it, can make FileBot for me 1 stop for all three.

3) this is more of a feedback the episode list part actually at times has picked up some things which the automatic matching doesn't. However, I explored that bit quite late, almost for the first time this year.

4) I don't know much of this is possible, but if FileBot has an extension like a library of all entertainment that person has over the Hard disks, could it even play/stream/connect to smart devices as it eliminates many other softwares that we all keep jumping to/from.

Hope this somewhere helps. Thanks.

1a.
FileBot does support file-based renaming so you can do any kind of pre-processing even if the files don't match any databases:
viewtopic.php?t=2072

1b.
FileBot will generally ignore group names, especially when in parenthesis. So that should work.

In any case, if you find file paths that don't work as expected, just paste them here in the forums so I can have a look and see what's happening exactly. More often than not, things can be fine-tuned to make things work.

2.
You should be able to access any ID3 tags generically via the MediaInfo bindings:
viewtopic.php?t=4285

If it's more or less easy to use than other 3rd party software that I cannot say. But if you're missing any bindings, just post here in the forums so we can have a look.

3.
IDK. I'd need to see screenshots to have a guess at what's happening. If it's a reproducible problem, please post the file paths. You can copy & paste debug info from the Rename panel by pressing the F7 key.

4.
FileBot can certainly copy selected files to selected media devices, but any capability that resembles an DLNA media server is not currently planned.

3rd party media server plug-ins are conceivable though. Though, there's only my Plex FileBot Xattr Scanner plug-in at this point AFAIK:
