FileBot

Im not sure what im doing wrong but i have tried using others scripts and i cant get it to do what i want

I have a ton of movies that i wanna rename that i would like for it to be in this format

Movie Folder (Year of movie) -----> Movie.ext

I have a folder setup to rename my movies as such

main folder - _MoviesUnfinished
inside main folder i have 2 folders - NeedsRenamed and DoneRenamed

basically what i would like to do is put all the movies i wanna rename in the NeedsRenamed folder and after they have been renamed to move them to the DoneRenamed folder.

Like i said i have tried to use other scripts and it will search for movie but come back with something like no changes made or something to that effect.

I have looked through several forums trying to figure this out on my own and watched several youtube videos to learn this new process that i came across. Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance for the help.

Please post the command and the console output, so that we can see what you're trying to do, and what filebot is doing or not doing.

Thanks for the help

You forgot some " there.


Please read Cmdline and Argument Passing for details.

That’s all I have I took a screenshot of the page and that’s all I have for script sorry

NO: YES:
You may prefer to use the GUI if this doesn't make immediate sense. If you're new to the command-line, then there will be a steep learning curve, and you will have to spend a lot of time learning new things with trial and error. Personally, I'd just stick to the GUI for ease of use and getting things done.

ok lets try this again i see what i messed up.

Looks good to me. Since you're using --action TEST to do a dry run to see if it would work, no files are actually be renamed. The console output does tell us that it would work just fine, so let's do --action MOVE (default unless specified otherwise) to actually move / rename files.

ok yeah thanks looks like that worked it renamed the movie Folder (year)/Movie (year) how would i change it to take the year off movie and make it just be Folder (year)/Movie?

also when i just tried to rename a movie it renamed it as a TV show episode, is there a way to force it to either name only movies or tv shows?

Thanks

Please read the amc script manual for details on how to use custom formats and forcing TV or Movie mode.

thanks for the help i believe i figured it out and it seems to be working.
