Empty CD folder (When use format)

[yellowdaemon]

I am using Filebot to rename files and to organize my albums.

I use this format to organize my music folder

Format: Select all

D:/media/{n}\[{y}] - {album}\CD\{artist} {media.'part/position'} -
{pi.pad(2)} - {t}

It gives me the results that i want. However, I would like to see that in cases where there is no CD structure, it doesn't create an empty CD folder. I want the CD folder only to be created when there is a CD subsection like CD1 CD2 CD3
Is there a way to correct this?

Also, i would like to know if i can schedule Filebot to run at a certain time and organize my library for me.

[rednoah]

e.g. add CD1/2 if CD1/2 is defined:

Format: Select all

{ if (music.medium) "CD$music.medium/" }

You can run filebot on a schedule, i.e. write a filebot command-line command that you can call anytime, and then have scheduling software of your choice (e.g. cron on Linux, Task Scheduler on Synology NAS, etc) call that command when needed:
https://www.filebot.net/cli.html


If you are set on using the FileBot Desktop application, then you can't have scheduled tasks that run in the background, but you can have Presets to partially automate the task at hand.

Many thanks for your quick response @rednoah

I have Filebot running on my Synology as well. I'm going to do the schedule from there.

To give an update about my case.
The adjustment for the CD in the script works excellently. However, it always creates a CD folder. If there is no CD it starts with CD 1.

The reason for using the Filebot naming script is that i used Picard MusicBrainz and it ruined my collection. That was the result of bad choices. I used the wrong naming script and i used some wrong options like scan in Picard which makes a big soup of all my tracks and albums. I'm busy with Filebot to correct or restore my collection as much as possible.
So far Filebot is helping me in achieving this. The only thing is that i would like to move the non-music files in the folder to the new album location. Filebot is only moving music files.
Maybe there is a tool to recreate the playlist after I'm done with restoring.
Another thing is that some of the tracks Picard MB created have very long names. I wonder if there is an option in Filebot in the format script to restore it?

What does the MediaInfo table say for the file at hand?
viewtopic.php?t=4285

Presumably, the file is tagged as "CD 1". If it's tagged as "CD 1 of 1" or "CD 1 of undefined" then we can check for that special case.

How are these companion files currently named?

Anything is possible. But not everything is easy. Depends largely on the MediaInfo table / file names you have at hand, and if you can use that information to generate the file paths you want.

[yellowdaemon]

Where can i find the media info?
i will check it and post it here

[rednoah]

Use the built-in MediaInfo Inspector to export raw MediaInfo properties for a selected file:

Open FileBot ➔ Edit Format ➔ Change Sample ➔ Open MediaInfo ➔ Copy to Clipboard

Please click Copy to Clipboard and then press CTRL+V to paste the Media Info table here so that we can see what you can see.

here are the files

The name of the file in Filebot change when renaming, into a long name as you can see on the picture. These files cannot be processed by Filebot, so i have to delete or exclude them

[rednoah]

The file is tagged as CD1 of 1CDs:

Properties: Select all

Part                       : 1
Part/Position_Total        : 1

You can do a check for that:

Format: Select all

{ if (music.medium && music.mediumCount > 1) "CD$music.medium/" }

Properties: Select all

Performer                  : Simon Climie (piano);Walt Richmond (piano);Simon Climie (Wurlitzer electric piano);Walt Richmond (Wurlitzer electric piano);Simon Climie (Hammond organ);Walt Richmond (Hammond organ);Simon Climie (percussion);James Cruce (additional membranophone);Jim Karstein (additional membranophone);Jamie Oldaker (additional membranophone);David Teegarden (additional membranophone);Nathan East (bass);Jim Keltner (drums (drum set));Satnam Ramgotra (additional tabla)

You'll want to not use Performer in this case.

Which property do you want to use instead though? The available metadata gives you quite a few options:

Properties: Select all

Composer                   : Eric Clapton
ALBUMARTISTSORT            : Clapton, Eric & Friends
ARTISTS                    : Eric Clapton
Album/Composer             : Eric Clapton & Friends

[yellowdaemon]

What i want is that it to use the name in the title as it should and not that long name as you can see in the green characters in the image. It should be renamed in line with the format i use.

Format: Select all

O:/OUTPUT/{n}\[{y}] - {album}\{ if (music.medium) "CD$music.medium/" }\{artist} {media.'part/position'} -
{pi.pad(2)} - {t}

You can do a check for that:

Format: Select all

{ if (music.medium && music.mediumCount > 1) "CD$music.medium/" }

Does it check if there is a CD in the tag and if there is one it creates a CD directory or else no CD directory?

[rednoah]

You're using {n} which happens to default to {artist} which happens to default to {media.Performer} in this case. So you get Simon Climie (piano);Walt Richmond (piano);... because that's what the Performer property says. The generated file path is in line with your format. The result just happens to not be what you want.

Use {media.Composer} instead of {n} if you want to insert Eric Clapton at that position in the file path:

Properties: Select all

Composer                   : Eric Clapton

This code generates either nothing for non-CD files and CD 1of1 files, or "CD1/" "CD2/" etc depending on the values of {music.medium} and {music.mediumCount} which happen to be based on the {media.Part} and {media.PartPositionTotal} properties in this case, thus add "CD1/" to the file path for some files but not others, thus create CD1 folders for some files but not others:

Format: Select all

{ if (music.medium && music.mediumCount > 1) "CD$music.medium/" }

Properties: Select all

Part                       : 1
Part/Position_Total        : 1

You therefore want to adjust your format as follows:

Format: Select all

O:/OUTPUT/
{media.Composer}/
[{y}] - {album}/
{ if (music.medium && music.mediumCount > 1) "CD$music.medium/" }
{artist} { if (music.medium && music.mediumCount > 1) music.medium } - {pi.pad(2)} - {t}

[yellowdaemon]

It is because Picard messed up my library. 95% of my collection doesn't have that long name but only the normal artist name. I'm afraid that if i change my format to media.composer i will not always get the artist's name as the first. I want the artist's name to be the first, followed by the year and album. If i will achieve the same thing with media composer then i will change it. If not i will leave it to artist {n} and i will try to find a way to change the tags of the song.

@Rednoah, thanks for the CD code. I will apply it.

You can have your format use one or the other depending on the file at hand.

e.g. use n if n is shorter than 30 characters, otherwise use media.Composer instead:

Format: Select all

{ n.length() < 30 ? n : media.Composer }

** this expression may yield nothing if n is long and media.Composer is undefined

[yellowdaemon]

I use the media composer format, but unfortunately it didn't give me the results that i want.

What i want must look like this



To be more specific. I don't want the composer in the name because it creates a long name.
I just want the name of the artist in every track as shown in the picture.

And i forgot to mention that the name length of 30 give me back the name of the artist as you can see on the pic, but with the composer in the format it also creates tracks like what you see in the image here beneath



The name is too long that i can't even put everything in the print screen.

[rednoah]

{artist} happens to default to {media.Performer}. Sounds like you don't want to use {artist} / {media.Performer} in your format either. Pretty much the same as what we discussed previously in the context of {n}. So the same solution applies, use {artist} if it's short, or use something else if {artist} is not what we want for the file at hand:

Format: Select all

{ artist.length() < 30 ? artist : media.Composer }

Hence:

Format: Select all

O:/OUTPUT/
{ n.length() < 30 ? n : media.Composer }/
[{y}] - {album}/
{ if (music.medium && music.mediumCount > 1) "CD$music.medium/" }
{ artist.length() < 30 ? artist : media.Composer } { if (music.medium && music.mediumCount > 1) music.medium } - {pi.pad(2)} - {t}

Please post the MediaInfo table for the files for which the format above does not yet work the way you want, and make sure to tell us which MediaInfo property you would like to use for your file names instead of the one that is currently being used.

[yellowdaemon]

@Rednoah

It works now.
I use the latest format you posted and now it works as how i want it.



Thank you very much for your help and patience.

I'm so happy

[yellowdaemon]

I'm sorry to bother you again but i ran into some problems using the above script.

1. The script works very well but it is not that good for using it with a Various artist album. In the script after the CD1 or CD2 i start with the album name, then the track number, and at last the track. That gave problems when you want to sort things out to let the first track be the first and the last track be the last. It sorts the track based on the first character it found. As i said for Various Artists it is a problem.

• If there is a CD section like CD1, CD2, CD3, the script makes for every CD a subdirectory after the Album. Therefore you will have a year and Album name and after that, you will have 3 CD subdirectories. However, that is not such a good idea when you want to make a playlist cause the playlist is based on the name of the folder. If you want to copy all the playlists to a centralized folder that would make it impossible since you will have a lot of CD1, or CD2 coming from different albums.

I adjust the script so that when it comes to the first point, the track subsections begin with the track number and then the artist (composer), and then the track name itself.
I also adjust the script for the second point but i am not satisfied with that cause my solution is that in cases where there is a CD the same of that directory becomes a composition of the album name and CD(n) with a dash between them. The only thing is that when there is no CD i'm stuck with the album name and a dash. I would like to see that if there is no CD you also have no album name with dash left over. here under i show what i mean

When there is no CD

Code: Select all

M:/TEST/Various Artists/[2023] - The Best Golden Oldies Album In The World...Ever!/The Best Golden Oldies Album In The World...Ever! -/58 - Cher - Dark Lady
M:/TEST/ABBA/[2010] - Gold: Greatest Hits/Gold: Greatest Hits -/01 - ABBA - Dancing Queen

When there is a CD

Code: Select all

M:/TEST/U2/[2014] - Songs of Innocence/Songs of Innocence - CD2/01 - U2 - Lucifer’s Hands

I hope you understand my point.
If i can manage to only make a combination of Album name and CD when there is a CD it would be fine. If there is no CD i would like to see it like this:

Code: Select all

M:/TEST/ABBA/[2010] - Gold: Greatest Hits/01 - ABBA - Dancing Queen

Here is the adjusted script

Format: Select all

M:/ TEST/
{ n.length() < 30 ? n : media.Composer }/
[{y}] - {album}/
{album} - { if (music.medium && music.mediumCount > 1) "CD$music.medium/" }/
{pi.pad(2)} - { artist.length() < 30 ? artist : media.Composer } - {t}

[rednoah]

Can you share MediaInfo properties for 1 sample file that covers your various artist album corner case? How would you want this 1 sample file named and organized?
viewtopic.php?t=13811



e.g. make the " - CD1" bit optional:

Format: Select all

{album}{ if (music.medium && music.mediumCount > 1) " - CD$music.medium" }/

e.g. make the entire "Album - CD1" folder optional:

Format: Select all

{ if (music.medium && music.mediumCount > 1) "$album - CD$music.medium/" }

I'm not sure if i understand your first question but here under is the Media info of a file from the Various Artist Album

When it comes to your second and third question: I would like the combination of album name and CD(n) to be optional. That means that if there is no CD you just get the Album name followed by the tracknumber - trackartistname and trackname. like here under
M:/TEST/Various Artists/[2023] - The Best Golden Oldies Album In The World...Ever!/36 - Creedence Clearwater Revival - Have You Ever Seen The Rain
If there is a CD you will see a combination of album and CD like a mentioned in my earlier post

The result will always create a unique playlist for every root and subdirectory.


After the tracknumber i prefer the person that sang that song, and not the artist of the whole album, cause in the case of various artists you can see who sang a specific track. i think that is covered with artist : mediacomposer in the script but I'm not sure about that.

[rednoah]

This is the solution to your first question:

e.g. make the entire "Album - CD1" folder optional:

Format: Select all

{ if (music.medium && music.mediumCount > 1) "$album - CD$music.medium/" }

You would integrate that line into your existing format like so:

Format: Select all

M:/ TEST/
{ n.length() < 30 ? n : media.Composer }/
[{y}] - {album}/
{ if (music.medium && music.mediumCount > 1) "$album - CD$music.medium/" }
{pi.pad(2)} - { artist.length() < 30 ? artist : media.Composer } - {t}

{artist} will probably give you the Performer value in this case, so the format above should already give you the value you want:

Properties: Select all

Performer                  : Cat Stevens
Composer                   : Cat Stevens

Thanks! i will try it and let you know what the results are.

I tried the script in my Windows version of Filebot and it worked. Thanks for your help

However, i wanted to run the script on my Filebot package on my Synology NAS, but it produce a different result.
If i run the same script on the NAS it creates for every artist that participates on the album a separate folder.
I test it with some albums of Avicii.
You would think it would create the folder Avicii as the root folder followed by the subfolder year and album name. Instead, it creates several folders. for every artist a folder followed by year and album name.
Further, i wanted to exclude mp3 files since i only wanted to rename and move flac files but i didn't find an option for it.

Here are some links to my Synology configuration.

By the way, i don't know what Strict Mode does but i choose it.

[rednoah]

What does the console output say? (the text in the black box on the lower-right)

Did you test with the same file in your client-side Windows Desktop test and your server-side FileBot Node test?

What is the MediaInfo for your Avicii sample file at you are testing with now?

[yellowdaemon]

I tested it again and i saw that i made a mistake. In both Windows and on my Synology NAS its creates for every artist a folder.

The script must work in that way that it always start with the name of the Album

I tested on Windows. Below you will see a screen image of the test

M:/TEST/Arash Pournouri Tim Bergling Nile Rodgers Avicii/[2014] - True/07 - Arash Pournouri Tim Bergling Nile Rodgers Avicii - Shame On Me

This should be:

M:/TEST/Avicii/[2014] - True/07 - Arash Pournouri Tim Bergling Nile Rodgers Avicii - Shame On Me

Here are the results if i run the script in Windows for this particular artist. I didn't see it with other Albums.

I test another artist but with that one i see the artist name 2 times
Like Billy Joel Billy Joel.
Take a look yourself
