FileBot

Hi everybody
I have seen a lot of topics in witch peaplo sort there movies / series.
I have a special case.

Folders:
V:\1 Action - Thriller - Fantasy\
V:\2 Fun & Love\
V:\3 Comic\
V:\5 Serien\
V:\6 Serien Kinder\

is it possible to define a list of gernes and file bot uses this kind of list to then move the files to the folder with that genres?

The actual code cant do that and is executed in Windows by a cmd file.

Shell: Select all

filebot -script fn:amc "V:/0 TempZip/" --output "V:/0 TempNamed/" --action MOVE --conflict auto -non-strict --lang DE --log-file "V:/0 TempZip/amc.log" ^
--def movieDB=TheMovieDB seriesDB=TheMovieDB::TV animeDB=TheMovieDB::TV ^
--def movieFormat="{n} ({y}) {ac} - {aco} - {vf} - {hdr} - {vc}" ^
--def seriesFormat="{n}/{'Season '+s}/{n} - {s00e00} - {t} - {vf}" ^
--def animeFormat="V:/4 Serien Anime/{n}/{'Season '+s}/{n} - {s00e00} - {t} - {vf}" ^
--def subtitles=DE
--def clean=y

Yes, you can use {genres} to access the list of genres from the database and the generate file paths accordingly.

e.g. Conditional Structures (if-then-else)

Format: Select all
{ genre ==~ /Documentary|News/ ? 'Documentaries' : 'TV Shows' }

Also, you'll want to use @file syntax for reading command-line arguments from external text files.

Many have done what you're trying to do. Collection and Genre sorting script might be useful as you will likely run into the same problems.

I tried to create the file like this. (ore i am understanding the syntax wrong!

)
Script to start the filebot

Shell: Select all

filebot -script fn:amc "V:/0 TempZip/" --output "V:/" --action MOVE --conflict auto -non-strict --lang DE --log-file "V:/0 TempZip/amc.log" @"C:/Program Files/FileBot/personalscript/filebotargs.txt" ^
--def movieDB=TheMovieDB seriesDB=TheMovieDB::TV animeDB=TheMovieDB::TV ^
--def movieDB=TheMovieDB seriesDB=TheMovieDB::TV animeDB=TheMovieDB::TV ^
--def movieFormat="{n} ({y}) {ac} - {aco} - {vf} - {hdr} - {vc}" ^
--def seriesFormat="{n}/{'Season '+s}/{n} - {s00e00} - {t} - {vf}" ^
--def animeFormat="V:/4 Serien Anime/{n}/{'Season '+s}/{n} - {s00e00} - {t} - {vf}" ^
--def clean=y ^

Content of the @"C:/Program Files/FileBot/personalscript/filebotargs.txt" file.

Shell: Select all

if {
{ genre ==~ /action|drama|Crime|Horror|Adventure|Fantasy|Martial Arts|Mystery|Thriller|Science Fiction/ ? 'V:/1 Action - Thriller - Fantasy/'}
{ genre ==~ /Musical|Love|Family|Comedy/ ? 'V:/2 Fun & Love/'}
{ genre ==~ /Animation|Children/ ? 'V:/3 Comic/'}
{ genre ==~ /Anime|/ ? 'V:/4 Serien Anime/'}
{ genre ==~ /action|drama|Crime|Horror|Adventure|Fantasy|Martial Arts|Mystery|Thriller|Science Fiction/ ? 'V:/5 Serien/'}
{ genre ==~ /Animation|Children/ ? 'V:/6 Serien Kinder/'}
else {
		return V:/0 TempNamed
	}

But something doesn't work... :/

Shell: Select all

C:\Program Files\FileBot\personalscript>jdownloader-postprocess.cmd

You'll want to prototype your format in the GUI:

Once you have prototyped your format and tested it on a variety of files, then you can paste it into a *.groovy text file and reference it like so:

Shell: Select all

--def movieFormat=@/path/to/MovieFormat.groovy

separate HD, 4K and genre has copy & paste example code for this use case.

Yes, your format code can read external files.

e.g. the csv() function can be used to read a CSV file into a Map, the first column being the key:

Format: Select all

{ csv('/path/to/file.csv')[genre] }

Make sure to use TAB as column separator. Also make sure that the key matches the value of {genre} exactly:

Code: Select all

Action	V:/1 Action - Thriller - Fantasy
