FileBot

Hello Everyone,

I’ve been using FileBot as a Docker container on my Unraid system in combination with the AMC script for quite some time now, and it has always worked flawlessly. Recently, I started using Radarr and Sonarr and noticed that I constantly have to manually trigger scans so Radarr/Sonarr can recognize the latest files. Naturally, this is quite inconvenient.

In the forum, I found scripts that update Radarr and Sonarr using a custom post-process. I followed the instructions provided in the forum and created the scripts as described.
However, it doesn’t seem to work because the scripts are only triggered when I run them via the GUI, not through the AMC script.


Now, I’ve noticed that the Docker container has a variable called AMC_CUSTOM_OPTION, so I added the following: But it won't work, Did I misunderstand or do something wrong?

Thank you in advance for your help

AMC_CUSTOM_OPTION means that you're using the jlesage/filebot container. That's fine but keep in mind that it's not one of ours. See Installing FileBot on unRAID for details and alternatives.


The GUI state has no effect on the CLI. You cannot reference custom post-processing scripts saved in the GUI from the CLI.


You can specify Post-Processing Features and Custom Post-Processing Scripts via the --apply option.
