Hi,

Trying to get the editions tag to work for Plex.

FileBot 5.1.1 (r9982)

Running the following:

Code: Select all

filebot -script fn:amc /var/db/qbittorrent/claim/Torrents/xHD/<XXX> --output /var/db/qbittorrent/claim/Torrents/zFilebot --action keeplink -non-strict --log-file /var/db/qbittorrent/claim/Torrents/zFilebot/amc.log --def excludeList=/var/db/qbittorrent/claim/Torrents/zFilebot/filebot-amc-exclude.txt movieFormat="/var/db/qbittorrent/claim/Movies/{ hd == /UHD/ ? 'UHD' : 'HD' }/{n} ({y})/{n} ({y} - {vf} - {vcf}.{acf} - {source} -{ n.findMatch(group) ? null : group })" { "{edition-$edition}" }

Gives:

Code: Select all

edition: Undefined variable.

When run via qBT and checking amc.log gives the following:

Code: Select all

...args[<X>] = movieFormat=/var/db/qbittorrent/claim/Movies/{ hd == /UHD/ ? 'UHD' : 'HD' }/{n} ({y})/{n} ({y} - {vf} - {vcf}.{acf} - {source} -{ n.findMatch(group) ? null : group }) { {edition-} }

... ...

Script Error: startup failed:
__script_fd684b1e73cf2b5ea528ccd9e2cbd85f_10: 1: Unexpected input: '{edition-}' @ line 1, column 10.
   {edition-}
            ^

1 error

Failure (×_×)⌒☆

How do I get it to stop treating "$edition" as a variable? or am I, once again, fundamentally misunderstanding something...

Thanks

You are passing an invalid format, because the format you are actually passing is not the format you think you are passing, because bash is interpreting $variables inside "..." double-quoted strings, before calling filebot:

$ echo "I like $TEST"
I like

Please read Cmdline and Argument Passing. If you're new to the command-line, then reading Cmdline and Argument Passing thoroughly will save you countless hours of trial and error.

I strongly recommend reading complex custom formats from an external format file. Please read @file syntax for reading cmdline args from text files › Script Parameter Value and Automated Media Center › Troubleshooting for details.

If you're writing a bash script, then you'll want to start the script with the -u option to instruct to bash to error out when you accidentally use undefined bash variables:

Console Output: Select all

$ cat test.sh
#!/bin/sh -u
echo "{edition-$edition}"
$ ./script.sh
./script.sh: line 2: edition: unbound variable

I appreciate the help, and the push to finally sit myself down and sort out using an external file for arguments.

Running great now
