Hello everyone. I have been using the AMC script and it works well, however I also want to use the duplicate script to clean up some stuff

Shell: Select all

filebot -script dev:duplicates /share/ZFS18_DATA/Media/Series --action move --output /share/ZFS18_DATA/Media/Series/Processed-Duplicates

This works to identify duplicates, but it won't move them. Can someone help me with this as I think it has to do with there the paths and flags are.

Thank you

Steve

The duplicates script is primarily used for finding and printing files that are duplicates.

You can however pass those files onto a -rename call to string things together like so:

Console Output: Select all

$ filebot -script fn:duplicates "/path/to/TV Shows" -rename --output "/path/to/Duplicates" --format "{n}/{fn}" --action TEST
[*] Alias - 1x01 - Truth Be Told
[+] 1. TV Shows/Alias - S01E01 - Truth Be Told [2160p].mkv
[-] 2. TV Shows/Alias - S01E01 - Truth Be Told [480p].mkv
1 duplicates
Rename files using [Extended Attributes]
[TEST] from [TV Shows/Alias - S01E01 - Truth Be Told [480p].mkv] to [Duplicates/Alias/Alias - S01E01 - Truth Be Told [480p].mkv]
Processed 1 file
