FileBot

Hello,
I've been using filebot manually for literal years, but decided to try my hand at getting it to run automatically using the filebot-watcher / AMC scripts.
I personally have plent of experience with Powershell, but I am definitely missing something (probably simple), all my files when they get put into my watched directory are being identified as Movies.
For Example:

Code: Select all

Use excludes: Z:\Downloads.tmp\excludes.txt (0)
Input: Z:\Downloads\deluge\unsorted\<Anime Name> - 07 _720p_.mkv
Group: {Movie=<Anime Name>, Series=null} => [<Anime Name> - 07 _720p_.mkv]
Rename movies using [TheMovieDB]

My powershell code output is below:

The code full powershell code is here:

Apologies if I don't provide enough info, please let me know.

Code: Select all

Group: {Movie=..., Series=null}

This means that FileBot cannot tell if the files is a movie or an episode due to bad naming. You likely will not have the same issue with all files. You could try Alias.1x01.mkv as sample file name for testing.

In general, you can help the amc script along by using --def ut_label=Anime to force Anime Mode.

In the specific case posted in the log above, the leading _SubsPlease_ is likely the root cause for degraded auto-detection, since you seem to be replacing the common [...] naming pattern with your own rather unique _..._ naming pattern for some reason before processing:

Code: Select all

_SubsPlease_ Zom 100 - Zombie ni Naru made ni Shitai 100 no Koto - 07 _720p_ _707EBC9C_.mkv

Note that Parameter: minFileSize = 5m has no effect. You mean --def minFileSize=5000000 since --def minFileSize doesn't accept non-numeric values.

Parameter: animeDB = TVMaze this usage is pretty much untested. Might not work well. I'd recommend sticking to the default databases. But it's ultimately your choice.

Thank you very much, that all makes sense.
I appreciate all the support, and I really appreciate the added notes.

Definitely seems I was misunderstanding it.
