Have been using the GUI for years with multiple presets that I have created. Just diving into using AMC so I can automate the process fully.
I have TV Shows separated into two categories Kids and Adults (T:\TV Shows\Adults & T:\TV Shows\Kids). Is there a way to have AMC separate these out automatically? If not I might just have it auto process all the adult shows (more volume) and use the GUI for kid shows.

Script currently is as follows

Code: Select all

filebot -script fn:amc --output "T:/" --action copy --conflict auto --def pushover=APIKey -non-strict "T:/#NewTorrents" --log-file "T:/#NewTorrents/AMC/amc.log" --def excludeList="T:/#NewTorrents/AMC/amcexclude.txt" --action test

Should also mention I have a similar situation when it comes to movies.

Folder Structure for Plex:

Code: Select all

T:/Movies/Family
T:/Movies/Adults
T:/TV Shows/Kids
T:/TV Shows/Adults

How do you decide the target folder for any given file? If you can express that decision in code, then you just need to pass a custom format into the amc script call and have it generate different file paths for different files / movies / episodes.

I've been able to modify the script to at least point to the adults section. Not sure how to tell it to do Adults vs Family movies as I currently just use different presets depending on the Movie/Show.

Code: Select all

filebot -script fn:amc --output "T:/" --action copy --conflict auto --def pushover=Key-non-strict "T:/#NewTorrents" --def movieFormat="T:/Movies/Adults/{plex.derive{"[$vf]"}.name}/{plex.name}" seriesFormat="T:/TV Shows/Adults/{plex.tail}" --log-file "T:/#NewTorrents/AMC/amc.log" --def excludeList="T:/#NewTorrents/AMC/amcexclude.txt" --action test

It appears the script isn't honoring the $vf option as it isn't showing the quality of the movie in the output. It also wouldn't accept $certification.

Here is how my preset for movies is currently set

Code: Select all

T:/Movies/Adults/{n} ({y}) [{vf}] [{certification}]/{n} ({y}) [{vf}] [{group}]

1.
I see. So you yourself decide which is which. FileBot cannot reproduce your decision making process, but it can make simple decisions based on the available movie / series information, such as tags, certifications, etc.

Please provide a TheMovieDB links for various movies / TV shows for each of your target folders, so that we can compare and contrast and write code to differentiate files / movie / series information.

e.g.

Code: Select all

{ any{ certification ==~ /PG-13/ ? 'Children' : 'Adults' }{ 'UNRATED' }  }

2.
You mean to pass in this format:

Code: Select all

T:/Movies/Adults/{plex.derive{"[$vf]"}.name}/{plex.name}

But you effectively pass in this format:

Code: Select all

Parameter: movieFormat = T:/Movies/Adults/{plex.derive{[$vf, $vc]}.name}/{plex.name}

Because the "..." that is part of your format value is interpreted away by the shell. This is a common user error if you're new to the command-line. You can't just copy & paste your format onto the command-line. Please read Cmdline and Argument Passing for details.

Note that your custom movie format will not work right for subtitle files and multi-part movies.

You can start with something like this:

Code: Select all

T:/Movies
/{ any{ certification =~ /G/ ? 'Children' : 'Adults' }{ 'UNRATED' } }
/{ ~plex * { ' ' + [vf, vc] } }

* take care of certification being undefined
* use {plex} operators to append values to the movie / series folder name
* avoid using " in Groovy code so that you can just copy & paste it onto the command-line (though you shouldn't; use @files instead)

Thanks for the context and about using escape for quotes.
I'm starting to use the context you provided (thanks btw!) and tweaking it. What would cause a movie content rating to not be pulled (think I might just default it to the Adults folder)?

Will test it out some more and see what it does with different movies and ratings.

Some information may be missing for less popular movies, or brand new movies, because nobody has bothered to enter the missing information yet:

Code: Select all

$ filebot -list --q "alien vs predator" --db TheMovieDB -non-strict --format "{id} | {n} | {certification}"
395 | AVP: Alien vs. Predator | PG-13
960947 | Alien vs Predator |
440 | Aliens vs Predator: Requiem | R
548257 | Alien Predator | NR
67203 | Arctic Predator |

e.g. PG-13
https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/395

e.g. R
https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/440

e.g. undefined
https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/960947
https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/67203

I've tried to add another content rating for Family movies so that everything G or PG goes to Family and PG-13 + goes to Adults. Trying several methods, it doesn't appear to take for me, it ends up dumping everything into Adults (G and PG).

Code: Select all

filebot -script fn:amc --output "T:/" --action move --conflict auto --def pushover=API -non-strict "T:/#NewTorrents" --def movieFormat="T:/Movies/{ any{ certification =~ /G or PG/ ? 'Family' : 'Adults' }{ 'Adults' } }/{ ~plex * { ' ' + [vf] + [certification] } }" seriesFormat="T:/TV Shows/Adults/{plex.tail}" --log-file "T:/#NewTorrents/AMC/amc.log" --def excludeList="T:/#NewTorrents/AMC/amcexclude.txt" --action test

Also tried (and a few others) with no success.

Code: Select all

... =~ /G, PG/ ?

Code: Select all

... =~ /\"G, PG\" ?

Posted: **30 Oct 2022, 15:40**

Ok, got it working with the following:

Code: Select all

... == /G|PG/ ?

Posted: **30 Oct 2022, 16:19**

=~ is the find-match operator, i.e. x =~ /G/ returns true for any x that contains G, such as G, PG, PG-13, etc:

Code: Select all

certification =~ /G/

==~ is the exact-match operator, i.e. x ==~ /G|PG/ returns true if x is G or PG:

Code: Select all

certification ==~ /G|PG/

== is the equals operator:

Code: Select all

certification == /G/

certification == /G|PG/ notably cannot work because == works with String literals and not regex patterns, and since certification will never have the exact String value "G|PG" it will always return false.

Ok, was able to get the same filtering based on content rating for TV shows.

Code: Select all

seriesFormat="T:/TV Shows/{ any{ certification =~ /"TV-Y"|"TV-Y7"/ ? 'Kids' : 'Adults' }{ 'Adults'} }/{plex.derive {n.colon('  ')}.tail}"

Is there a way to keep it form adding a dash and just leaving a space? It appears it turns the colon into a dash?
I tried adding the below with no luck.

Code: Select all

{n.colon('  ')}

Eg.

Code: Select all

Fetching episode data for [CSI: Vegas]
+- 20 episodes
[TEST] from [T:\#NewTorrents\CSI.Vegas.S02E05.In.Harms.Way.1080p.AMZN.WEB-DL.DDP5.1.H.264-NTb.mkv] to [T:\TV Shows\Adults\CSI - Vegas\Season 02\CSI - Vegas - S02E05 - In Harm's Way.mkv]

Edit: will update to ==~

1.
Compare & Contrast:

Code: Select all

$ echo "any{ certification =~ /"TV-Y"|"TV-Y7"/ ? 'Kids' : 'Adults' }{ 'Adults'} }"
any{ certification =~ /TV-Y|TV-Y7/ ? 'Kids' : 'Adults' }{ 'Adults'} }

You're adding "..." in your /TV-Y|TV-Y7/ regex pattern for no reason. And the shell interprets them away making your code maybe work. This is very unnecessary and very confusing. Don't do that.

2.
The {plex} format indeed replaces : colon characters with - dash to guarantee Windows-compatible file paths. You cannot change internal behaviour. You can only add bits and pieces. (NOTE: the bits and pieces you add will be normalised as well with the same internal logic)

Advanced users may read the {plex} format documentation and find a way to disable file path sanitization entirely. However, this is generally a bad idea for Windows users.

Got it, think I added the quotes as I was originally having issues. Changed =~ with ==~ and removed the quotes.

Unfortunate that I can't remove the - dash, the GUI preset I use does not add a dash in the name, but I suppose it's not a huge deal.

I think I will dry run this in test mode for ~ a week and continue using the GUI until I'm comfortable with the renaming.

Appreciate the help with getting my script to this point

One final question

if I want the script to completely ignore 4k movies (moves to a completely different area) will the following code work?

Code: Select all

--def ignore=2160

The {plex} format works the same in both GUI and CLI and will replace : colon. You can always not use the {plex} format and write your own format using building blocks such as {n} {s00e00} {t} etc instead, i.e. you can do whatever you want if you do it yourself.

The --def ignore option allows you exclude files where the file path matches a given regex pattern. If you do --def ignore="2160p" then that'll ignore files that contain "2160p" in the file path. If your 4K movie have "2160p" in the file path then it'll work, if not, then not.
