FileBot

Hi All,

Ive just stumbled upon fllebot, it sounds like it might be exactly what i need. If I may, ill briefly explain my
current setup and you might be able to advise.
So i use a showrss feed to get utorrent to automatically download my shows. When torrent is finished, utorrent runs tvrename which scans, rename and moves new episodes into their respective folders. This works
very well, but it doesnt address managing movies. I use utorrent remote to kick off movie downloads, ideally I
dont want to ever have to break out of xbmc on the htpc.
Can I point filebot at my download folder, have it distinguish movies from episodes, rename the movie file and folder and move to my movies folder? can I also do this for music?
I understand filebot can of course manage episodes as well but from what Ive read so far it wont move to specific folders as tvrename does. Hopefully Im completely wrong on this as having filebot manage everything would be ideal.

Any advise welcome

Thanks

Hi Casmo,

Yes - FileBot can certainly help you out with all of that, and allows a crazy amount of customisation regarding what is renamed and relocated where and how.

There are a number of guides on setting up an automated media centre (AMC) script to do all of that from a variety of different downloaders on different platforms, and then even updating XBMC. It can also be set to distinguish between shows and movies, and yes - it can move them to specific folders and paths.

Additionally, it can also automatically download subtitles in the language(s) of your choice for the files that it is renaming and organise them in the same output folder.

FileBot does also support music, but I haven't personally tried it for that (it's not its main focus, but does have some level of support).

To view a number of the different AMC script compilations (as well as a whole heap of other stuff), I recommend checking out this rather nifty (and aptly named) compilation thread that I've put together here:
