Yes, your
--apply options apply for both simple
-rename commands as well as
-script commands internally call
-rename in some fashion. If in doubt, I recommend doing a test run and reading the console output.

okk so I add --apply the.script.name.I.put.in.post-process?
I find out that the code I put in the Post-process are in a single file (using jlesage docker)
file -> prefs.properties -> net/filebot/ui/rename/scripts/1702741369={"@type"\:"Script","id"\:"1702741369","name"\:"Refresh Sonarr","code"\:"def host \= 'localhost'\\ndef port \= 8989\\ndef auth \= 'api_key'\\n \\ndef ids \= model.findAll{ it.type \=~ /Episode/ }.findResults{ it.tvdbId } as Set\\n\\nids.each{ id ->\\n\\tdef r \= curl \\"http\://${host}\:${port}/api/v3/series?tvdbId\=${id}\\", 'X-Api-Key'\: auth\\n\\tr.each{ s ->\\n\\t\\tcurl \\"http\://${host}\:${port}/api/v3/command\\", [name\: 'rescanSeries', seriesId\: s.id], 'X-Api-Key'\: auth\\n\\t}\\n}\\n"}
so in that case, I use --apply Refresh Sonarr ??

Are you using the GUI or the CLI?

If you're using the CLI then you need to pass your script via the
--apply command-line option, either inline as parameter value or via a file path to your script file.

You notably
cannot reference custom post-processing scripts that you have created in the GUI from the CLI. You can however specify the same external script file in both GUI and CLI if you want to use the same code in both GUI and CLI.

ok so in short I have to put this code in a file?
Groovy: Select all
{ source, target ->
def host = '127.0.0.1'
def port = 8989
def auth = 'YOUR_API_KEY'
def ids = model.findAll{ it.type =~ /Episode/ }.findResults{ it.tvdbId } as Set
ids.each{ id ->
def r = curl "http://${host}:${port}/api/v3/series?tvdbId=${id}", 'X-Api-Key': auth
r.each{ s ->
curl "http://${host}:${port}/api/v3/command", [name: 'rescanSeries', seriesId: s.id], 'X-Api-Key': auth
}
}
and --apply path/filename.ext to use it so?

Yep, that's how I would do it:
Shell: Select all
--apply "/path/to/Refresh-Sonarr.groovy"

alright thanks
Trying to create a post-Process script to as *arr to import the movies/shows
in that code
Groovy: Select all
{ source, target ->
def importPath = target.dir.path
// ---------- TV SHOWS → Sonarr ----------
if (model.any{ it.type =~ /Episode/ }) {
def host = '127.0.0.1'
def port = 8989
def auth = 'SONARR_API_KEY'
curl "http://${host}:${port}/api/v3/command",
[
name: 'DownloadedEpisodesScan',
path: importPath,
importMode: 'Move',
downloadClientId: 'FileBot'
],
'X-Api-Key': auth
}
// ---------- MOVIES → Radarr ----------
if (model.any{ it.type =~ /Movie/ }) {
def host = '127.0.0.1'
def port = 7878
def auth = 'RADARR_API_KEY'
curl "http://${host}:${port}/api/v3/command",
[
name: 'DownloadedMoviesScan',
path: importPath,
importMode: 'Move',
downloadClientId: 'FileBot'
],
'X-Api-Key': auth
}
}
do you see something wrong before I test it? I am not sure about the target.dir.path if its the good one
Thanks in advance

You'll want to run tests to see if it works.
target.dir.path is the path to the folder where the file at hand was moved or copied.
