I'm trying to run AMC from the Windows 10 Command Line, but the execution hangs indefinitely and I'm not sure how to get more debug details. Hopefully you can help!

Here is my command:

Here is my directory structure:

Here is the contents of amc-args-movies.txt:

Code: Select all

-script 
fn:amc 
S:/BitTorrent/Completed/Movies 
--output 
S:/BitTorrent/Completed/Movies-Renamed 
--action 
test 
--conflict 
skip 
-non-strict 
--log all 
--log-file 
S:/BitTorrent/Logs/amc.log 
--def 
subtitles=en 
excludeList=amc.excludes 
unsorted=y 
music=y 
artwork=y 
ut_label=Movie 
ut_kind=multi 
movieFormat={plex.derive{" {tmdb-$id} "}{" [$vf, $channels, $aco, $hdr, $vc, $ac]"}}{".$ext"}" seriesFormat="{plex.derive{" {tmdb-$id} "}{" [$vf, $channels, $aco, $hdr, $vc, $ac]"}}{".$ext"}

Here are the results of filebot -script fn:sysinfo:

Done ?(?????)?

Is there anything obvious I am doing wrong? Thanks!

1.
Try using a @file that's on the local file system to eliminate remote file system issues.

2.
Try using an @file that only says -version to see if that works.

Thanks for your reply! I finally got back around to this problem. I tried #2 and that seems to work:

Code: Select all

S:\BitTorrent>filebot @amc-args-version.txt
FileBot 4.9.3 (r8340) / OpenJDK Runtime Environment 15.0.2 / Windows 10 10.0 (amd64)

S:\BitTorrent>

So that points me back to #1. I am using all local discs. S:\ is a local hard drive on the machine, so remote file systems shouldn't be a problem in this case. Any other ideas?

Thanks again!

Okay trying something simpler and getting more data now.

Commmand and output:

Code: Select all

S:\BitTorrent>filebot @amc-args-test.txt
File does not exist: fn:amc
File does not exist: S:/BitTorrent/Completed/Movies-Renamed
File does not exist: test
Bad script source: -script
Failure (?_?)??

amc-args-test.txt:

Code: Select all

-script 
fn:amc 
S:/BitTorrent/Completed/Movies
--output 
S:/BitTorrent/Completed/Movies-Renamed
--action 
test

Seems like @file argument syntax isn't recognizing fn:amc. Odd...

Since you've added an additional space to each line, you're accidentally doing this:

Code: Select all

$ filebot "-script " "fn:amc "
File does not exist: fn:amc 
Bad script source: -script

@files allow you to pass arguments verbatim, including space characters, line by line, so each line must only contain the argument value and must not include extra space characters.

Ah! That was it. The script is now giving me feedback that I can understand.

Feature request: error checking for this condition. I suspect many people might run into the same problem as some file consumers actually PREFER to have a space at the end of the line.

Thanks so much for your quick response and help!

Hasn't really come up. I'll add a hint to the docs. Checking @file syntax in the code is not planned however at this point, since automatically fixing typical issues (quotation marks, spaces, etc) makes certain use cases impossible where this is actually the argument value the user wants and has explicitly specified.
