Simple Command Help

Hi guys, I'm a new user and just purchased a license on Windows recently.
What i'm looking to achieve:
After finishing renaming files, I want to automatically fetch English subtitles and then move the subs to "\Subs\filename"
Ideally, I'd also like to remove the language parameter from the subs, so it matches the video file name exactly minus extension.
The result should be that all episodes in a TV series are in the \subs\ folder whilst the video files are a level up.
I've tried to do this via a custom post-processing script but I couldn't make it work and I'm not sure if there's an easier way to go about it anyway?

The easiest way would be to just use
Plain File Mode, either semi-manually in the Desktop application via a
Preset or automatically when needed via the
filebot command-line tool:
Console Output: Select all
$ filebot -rename -r /path/to/input --db file --filter "f.subtitle && none{ f =~ /subs/ }" --format "{folder}/subs/{fn.removeAll(/[.][a-z]{2,3}$/)}"
[MOVE] from [Alias.1x01.eng.srt] to [subs/Alias.1x01.srt]
If you must have a
Custom Post-Processing Script then code that moves subtitle files into a
subs/ folder and renames them to the video file name might look like this:
Groovy: Select all
{ source, target ->
if (target.video) {
target.dir.listFiles().each{ f ->
if (f.subtitle && f.isDerived(target)) {
f.move(target.dir / 'subs' / target.nameWithoutExtension + '.' + f.extension)
}
}
}
}
takes care of selecting files that have the same base name, e.g.
Avatar.eng.srt is derived from
Avatar.mkv.

You are absolutely insane @rednoah
I cannot believe you made it work that easily. I appreciate it.

Hi @RedNoah, I'm now getting an error, but from the looks of it, it might be some sort of API limit rather than an issue with FileBot?

That would be a unintentional internal error on the FileBot side. We can look into that and fix it with the next release. Thanks for the report.

Not sure about this one. Can you provide more details so that we can reproduce the issue?

Sure. Let me know what else you need to know and I'll do all I can.
This is the full name of the file I tested it on.
This is the preset I was using, but I also tested on default "TheMovieDB - TV"
I was trying to rename the files, and these are the post-processing options I have enabled.
And this is what I can see in the Groovy Pad.

I am successfully authenticated on OpenSubs if that matters.

I see. So this error causes subtitles to not be downloaded?
Please do a
Clear Cache and then retry to see if that makes a difference:

You are correct in your understanding. It successfully renames the video file but will not fetch subtitles and thus does not move them because they don't exist.
This is the output I got after clearing cache and trying again.

Looks like clearing the cache didn't do anything. Have you perhaps exceeded your quota? If you use the
login button it'll show you the current quota.

Yes, I believe so. It seems the limit is 20, so I definitely would have hit it. Strangely, just days prior I remember renaming over 100 files and getting subs for them though... so that is strange.
