Skip auto extract when movie is already found

[mikematau]

So I'm currently facing the situation that I have the .rar files and the extracted .mkv file in one folder.
I can not change it, it is just that way.
What I would like is an option to say: if there is rar's and a (large / 700mb+?) .mkv file in the same folder, skip the extraction and take the mkv.
Is this possible to do? Would be awesome and save me a lot of extraction time.....

1.
Doesn't extraction skip files that already exist (and have the same Last-Modified date) anyway?

If you're using a shell script, then you can modify your shell script and call filebot on the archive, or the mkv file, depending on the situation.

1. The problem is that extraction usually creates a couple of sub folders:

xyz.2019-xxx.r01
=> /xyz_xxx/xyz.2019-xxx/xyz_xxx.mkv

while the already extracted file is located in the root of the folder:
=> /xyz_xxx.mkv

So its not scipping because it does not get it.

2. that would be an option, although I dont know how to do that.... I'm calling filebot on the parent folder:
/media/input
and inside this folder are x sub folders:
=> /media/input/xyz.2019-xxx
=> /media/input/abc.2020-ggg
So once filebot is called, all folders insider /media/input will be checked automatically...
