Can't get this to work

Post by stealerwheeler »

(I had a previous post on this forum, but since I first started that post the topic in relation to the problem seemed off so I thought I'd start a new thread here so it is more relevant, sorry about the inconvenience)

I'm on a Mac mini running 10.9.1. I started out with uninstalling FileBot today (using AppZapper to get rid of everything), deleted every old script I had, to start totally fresh. I then reinstalled FileBot and then turned to the AMC guide for Mac (http://www.filebot.net/forums/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=520). I followed very thoroughly, didn't change anything except --output as stated in the tutorial, chmod it, set up Transmission to Call script when download complete, the whole nine yards.

Here's the code I used, including my --output changes to it (My output is my external hardrive called "Media HD"):
#!/bin/bash
/Applications/Filebot.app/Contents/MacOS/filebot -script fn:amc --output "/Volumes/Media HD" --log-file amc.log --action copy --conflict override -non-strict --def artwork=y "ut_dir=$TR_TORRENT_DIR/$TR_TORRENT_NAME" "ut_kind=multi" "ut_title=$TR_TORRENT_NAME"
I tried it with a tv-show and it worked great - it copied the file to the right destination (Media HD/TV Shows), renamed it, downloaded artwork - all good. I then tried it with a movie - NO GO. It didn't touch the file at all. So I then moved on to try a test run on the same movie file with this code:
filebot -script fn:amc --output "/Volumes/Media HD/" --action test -non-strict "/Volumes/Media HD/Transmission/Complete" --def excludeList=amc.txt
WORKED GREAT! I moved on to change --action test to --action copy and everything worked then aswell (moved and renamed).

I have no idea why this is not working as it should! I'm thinking about changing the script in the transmission-postprocess to the one I used for testing. Would that be a possible solution? Would I have to add something else to the code? Or does anyone have any ideas as how to get this to work?

Check the logs. It's in the filebot app data folder / logs / amc.log
