[qbittorent] Unpack archives

I know its been asked and covered many times but I've never used this aspect of filebot.

What i want to do is integrate with qbittorent to unpack archives but the parameters are over my head, all I want is to unpack into the "completed" folder but for the file(s) to go into a subfolder or media name.

For instance, Avengers would unpack into complete/Avengers/Avengers1080.mp4

something like that.

Can this be done and what would the commands I enter into qbittorent look like to achieve this?

1.
qBT can call command-line tools.

2.
filebot is a command-line tool that can extract archives.


:arrow: Therefore it's possible. But I don't have a copy & paste solution for you. That is your job. ;)


:idea: I recommend familiarizing yourself with the filebot command-line tool first, set up a few test cases, try a few things, play with it, and once you're confident using the filebot manually on the command-line, then and only then would I move on to integrating things with qBT. In this regard, you will find the amc script inspirational, especially the qBT setup instructions.
