You have 3 questions:
How do I integrate FileBot with qBT and hardlink files?
(requires basic command-line skills)
How do I change how files are named and organized?
(requires basic command-line skills and basic custom format skills)
How do I make a custom format that matches exactly what I have already configured in Radarr?
(requires more custom format skills and lots of testing on a large number of representative sample files)
1.
Here are the qBT integration instructions for the
amc script:
Setup for qBittorrent on Windows, Linux and macOS
--action duplicate means that FileBot will hardlink files if possible. You can use
--action hardlink to hardlink or fail. Please read the
Custom Rename Action manual.
2.
Please read
Format Expressions first, and then use the
Format Editor in the Desktop application to play with it for a few minutes to make sure you understand the general concepts. The
amc script uses the
{plex.id} format by default:
Code: Select all
TV Shows/Alias {tmdb-2046}/Season 01/Alias - S01E01 - Truth Be Told
Movies/Avatar (2009) {tmdb-19995}/Avatar (2009)
Please read the
{plex.id} format manual if you want to use the
{plex} format but add additional information to the file path to guarantee unique file paths for each file:

e.g.
Avatar (2009) {tmdb-19995}/Avatar (2009) {edition-Extended Edition} [720p, x264, AAC]
Replace
plex with
emby if you're renaming files for
emby specifically:

{emby} binding and the
{plex} binding work exactly the same, with slightly different implementation details, e.g. series name and series folder formatting.
e.g.
TV Shows/Alias (2001) {tmdb-2046}/Season 01/Alias (2001) - S01E01 - Truth Be Told
Please read
Change how files will be organized and renamed if you need help integrating your custom format into the
amc script:

This script uses multiple format expressions, one for each content type. You can override the default naming schemes via the
--def movieFormat,
seriesFormat,
animeFormat and
musicFormat options.
Relative paths will be resolved against --output and you can
use absolute paths if you want to use multiple drives.
Shell: Select all
--def movieFormat="M:/Movies/{ ~plex }" seriesFormat="S:/Series/{ ~plex }" animeFormat="J:/Anime/{ ~plex }" musicFormat="T:/Audio/{ ~plex }" unsortedFormat="U:/Unsorted/{ fn }"
- Start with the {plex} format and then modify your custom format bit by bit to fit your needs. Make sure to prototype your custom format with the Format Editor and not on the command-line.
- Use @file syntax to read complex arguments from a text file.

You'll have to write FileBot format code that does exactly the same as what your existing Radarr format code does. I don't know what your Radarr code does, so only you can do that. If you post sample file paths for what you want, one for each corner case, then we can help you along.
Sync Filebot and Radarr naming format will get you started. Make sure to use the
Format Editor to prototype your custom format.
Please do report back and make sure to share to share your FileBot / Radarr equivalent format pair in the end.
