Can FileBot scrape metadata, images, & trailer without renaming them (from CLI)?

Hi,

I download movies using Radarr and I find that if I rename the folders & files using any other tool it messes with Radarrs database.

So I am looking for something to keep the same filename, but re-download the *.nfo metadata (Radarrs nfo is lacking in detail), and then download only the poster, fanart, & trailer (with original filename appended with -poster, -fanart, -trailer respectively).

Can FileBot do this? or does it have to rename the files when it scrapes?

If it can, what is the command that I would use from CLI?

Thanks

The artwork.* scripts should work, assuming your files are already well-organized and nicely named.
