Detect different media types automatically

[tresi]

Hello,

can Filebot detect different media types automatically or do I have to decide myself if the input is a TV show, a movie, even perhaps Documentation, Sports and so on? Are there small hints in the naming of files and folders or maybe some content to read from given nfo-files?

[edit]
TV shows can be detected very simple by checking regex pattern like (S\d{1,2}E\d{1,2}|\d{1,2}x\d{1,2}) but for the other cases I have not really a good idea. Of course can this only work if the source is reasonably named.
[/edit]

Is there a common regex pattern which is used for this? I think, the AMC-Script must have something like this included or I am wrong?

I don't understand the complex scripts so I want to write my own. In case of errors I know exactly what to do and can customize better for my fittings.

Thanks in advance.

Kind regards,
tresi

You can use the File.isEpisode() and File.isMovie() extension methods.


Here's the API docs for that:

EDIT

There's no are helpers to check for Documentaries, Sports, etc.

Thank you for your very fast and competent support. I will give it a try

What do you mean with "There's are helpers to check for documentaries, Sports, etc."?
Which helpers, where are they. I cannot find anything...

Sorry, I don't mean what what auto-complete ended up typing.

There are NO helpers for auto-detecting documentaries, sports, etc.

I have to open my eyes when I read. It can't be any better visible. Sorry for that

I don't understand how I can use the functions File.isMovie and File.isEpisode in my command line.

filebot --isMovie -rename ...?

Do you have an example?

Note that filebot command-line calls is not the same as filebot scripting.

CLI:

Scripting:

If you want to call FileBot, but somehow limit input to files that look like they might be movies, then you can use the --filter option for that:

Code: Select all

--filter "f.movie"

If you just want to force movie rename mode, then you can use the appropriate --db option:

Code: Select all

--db TheMovieDB
