Honestly I appreciate the reply but I do not understand it.
-r has no effect if you're passing a list of files as input arguments.
But I am not passing a list of files. Just using this K:\INBOUND5\*.mkv
If you type *.mkv then the shell will expand that to all the files, and then pass a list of files as input arguments. The command you call can't know if you did *.mkv or typed all the file names one by one.
excuse my inexperience, but I do not really grasp that
You'll need to pass the folder as input.
The folder names change depends on what gets downloaded. I just want to process all subfolders no matter what the folders are named.
Alternatively, you can do find -exec to find all the mkv files from folder hierarchy and then pass them in to the filebot command as input arguments. This is easy on Linux, maybe not so much if you're using Windows.
I am using Windows 10.
So maybe I have to use find -exec to process all the files in all the subfolders.
I realize you are trying to educate me and I appreciate it, but what do I have to change in this line:
filebot -rename -r K:\INBOUND5\*.mkv --db TheTVDB -non-strict
To have all mkv files under K:\INBOUND5\ processed by filebot
Example
I have filebot to process
K:\INBOUND5\show1\*.mkv
K:\INBOUND5\show1\season1\*.mkv
K:\INBOUND5\show1\season2\*.mkv
K:\INBOUND5\show1\season3\*.mkv
K:\INBOUND5\show2\*.mkv
K:\INBOUND5\show2\*.mkv
K:\INBOUND5\show3\*.mkv
But the folder names will be different every day
So I want to process all mkv files under K:\INBOUND5\ no matter where they are
Same way del *.txt /s deletes all txt files no matter where they are
Thanks for your time and reply.
