AMC Script Invokes Exec Script with Type "Movie" for .srt Subtitle File

I have the following movie files that are being processed by FileBot's AMC script
Code: Select all
Star.Trek.2009.720p.BrRip.x264.mp4
Star.Trek.2009.720p.BrRip.x264.srt
and I use the following exec parameter with the AMC script
Code: Select all
--def exec="/config/postprocess.sh -d {quote folder} -f {quote f} -t {quote type}"
however, when my post process script gets called the type parameter is "Movie" for both the mp4 and the srt file. Shouldn't the type be "Subtitle" for the srt file? Or are all movie related files flagged as "Movie" type?
Thanks,
Harry

No,
{type} is not the file type, but the match type, which is either
Movie, or
Episode, or
MoviePart, or
MultiEpisode, etc. You probably mean to pass along
{ext} so that your script can do different things for video files or subtitle files, though you can already do that based on
{f}.

Thanks for the info.

e.g. called once
e.g. called once per folder:
e.g. called once per file:
e.g. called once per series / movie:
e.g. called once per match:

This is probably what you're looking for. Because the video file and corresponding subtitle file get matched to the same match object.
