FileBot

Can filebot distinguish the difference between a file that's being downloaded and completed?

filebot -script 'fn:amc' /volumeUSB2/usbshare/Completed --output /volume1/Media --action move -non-strict --order Airdate --conflict auto --lang en --def 'music=y' 'unsorted=y' 'clean=y' 'skipExtract=y' 'minLengthMS=300000' 'minFileSize=100000000' 'excludeList=.excludes' --log all --log-file '/usr/local/filebot-node/data/filebot.log'

Files that are being downloaded are indistinguishable from files that are completed, on the file system level, so nothing FileBot or any other program can do in that regard.

If you could configure your download tool to mark files in some way (e.g. add *.tmp extension) then things become a lot simpler.

Most users will configure their download tool to call FileBot on completed files, and thus FileBot is only ever called on completed files.

Another approach would be to configure FileBot to only process files that haven't been modified within the last few hours. That approach assumes that downloads are continuous, with Last-Modified file attributes changing every few seconds, up and until the file is complete.

Thank you. I've tried both SABNZBD and NZBget and they both unfortunately unpack files in the completed directory. There doesn't seem to be a way to unpack in the temp directory then transfer to completed once done.

How can i configure the last modified attrib?

Here's general information on how to process only specific files:

The last-modified attribute is automatically updated by the file system every time the file is written to. Maybe you can use the approach given in the link above to make it only process files that haven't been recently modified.

If you're using FileBot Node then you won't be able to make it work, but otherwise if you are running from console then you can just use find to select files and then pass them to filebot.

Best to ask in the forums of your respective download tools on how people integrate those with arbitrary post-processing commands. You'll get better advice there on how to integrate their tools with filebot.

Cheers mate. Unfortunelty people are for the most part reluctant to reply or help. Maybe i'm just spoil by the brilliant response and support i get here
