Is there any documentation on the functions/syntax that can be used in the renaming patterns? Is it based on another scripting language, or custom-built for filebot?

My problem of the moment is to name the file with a 720p or 1080p resolution when the video height is different. eg If the black bars are cropped (for an AR other than 16:9), then a vf of 688px should be tagged as 720p (1280x688 ~= 1.85:1), but if vf=800px it should become 1080p (1920x800 ~= 2.39:1)...and any other height should round up to the "main" resolutions of 480p/720p/1080p. I'd love to know if there's an easy way to do this, but I'd also love to see what else I can do with the language.

There is lots of ways to do this, pic one that works for you:

My format expression docs:
http://filebot.sourceforge.net/naming.html

Groovy scripting language:
http://groovy.codehaus.org

You can use the extra stuff FileBot provides for you, or everything Groovy provides, or everything Java provides. So you can do pretty much anything.

Thanks, I have no idea how I missed that when I searched for it...

Hi,

First I would like to say thanks for all the hard work put into this app, very cool app! It is just the tool needed to get the media library automated. I installed FileBot oh my home server and I am testing using the utorrent post process script file like is shown in the post about that topic. Everything seems to be working as expected, it is copying the shows to the output folder and pulling in the artwork and nfo files correctly.

The only problem I am having is that for some shows it is picking up the wrong show from the tv database (I am currently using TheTVdb). For example, when it is processing files for the show "The League" it is instead matching the show to "The League of Gentlemen." Is there a way to specify which show to match to in the event that it gets multiple shows and chooses the wrong show? I am looking to run this from the command line, in the GUI it would be easy enough to just select the correct show but I need a way to specify this while running from the command line.

I have looked in the forums and documentation and I haven't seen anything that jumped out at me as the solution. I did find the topic where you could override the naming of the show/episodes in the pattern matching however I don't think that will help in this situation as the wrong show is being matched so it would still give me incorrect episode names with the correct show title if I modified that I believe, is that correct?

I am certainly no expert at this but would definitely put together a tutorial on how to set this up once I get it all working.

Thank you!

Post by **rednoah** » 24 Aug 2012, 11:46

I don't have time to look into this in detail yet.

If it's matching the wrong episodes you can fix it with the --filter option which allows you to exclude episodes from matching.

e.g.

Code: Select all

--filter "y > 2000"

(only match with shows that aired in and after 2001)

Code: Select all

--filter "!(n =~ 'The League of Gentlemen')"

(specifically exclude that show specifically)

doctorzoidberg · Post by **doctorzoidberg** » 24 Aug 2012, 12:53

Thanks for the reply! I ill give that a shot and post the results.

One quick question on what you suggest, does the --filter option exclude shows from the set of episodes being matched to or does it ignore the input files matching the exclude expression?

Thanks again!

Post by **rednoah** » 24 Aug 2012, 14:07

The filter works on episode data being matched to. Normally it'll consider all episodes for all found shows as possible matches and try to find the best combination. With --filter you can exclude certain episodes before any matching as if they were not in the database at all.

Post by **rednoah** » 24 Aug 2012, 14:29

Tested. Works fine for me.

Code: Select all

E:\testdata>filebot -rename The.League.1x01.avi --action test -non-strict
Filename pattern: [1,00] SxE, [0,00] CWS
Rename episodes using [TheTVDB]
Auto-detected query: [The League]
Fetching episode data for [The League]

Fetching episode data for [The League of Gentlemen]
[TEST] Rename [E:\testdata\The.League.1x01.avi] to [The League - 1x01 - The Draft.avi]
Processed 1 files

If there is lots of clutter in the filename it might throw off the fuzzy logic a bit. Send me your exact file paths so I can try with those.

I noticed the previous version of this script had stopped working for me, so I just upgraded to filebot 3.0 and switched to this new slightly different syntax in uTorrent. It works great, but one problem I'm having now that I didn't experience before is a terminal/command window poping up each time the script runs. If I'm watching something in XMBC at the time, it will minimize XMBC automatically and show the terminal window. Is there a reason this has changed? Is there any way around that?

Post by **rednoah** » 25 Aug 2012, 04:19

No, nothing has changed. FileBot has no control over the cmd window. Maybe there is a way to tell uTorrent not to spawn a new console window?

munch9000 · Post by **munch9000** » 25 Aug 2012, 16:36

Hmmm...very strange. When you run the script, does a new console window pop up for you? This definitely didn't happen for me before with filebot. I'd tried a few other options (therenamer, etc.) before and DID have that problem with them...so I was happy when filebot didn't interrupt anything. I guess there's a chance an automatic uTorrent update broke it at around the same time.

Post by **rednoah** » 26 Aug 2012, 01:23

I don't know about focus, but utorrent definitely spawns a cmd window to run the given command. Also there is people that have complained about this issue long before 3.0, but really only the utorrent people can do anything about that since it's the utorrent that runs a cmd window that runs filebot, not the other way around.

gmcclelland · Post by **gmcclelland** » 26 Aug 2012, 14:27

Hi, firstly, running Windows 7 x64, Latest FileBot installed as of this date.

I was having some issues with this script so I traced my steps backwards. I was testing just running filebot from Command Prompt and it wasn't recognising "filebot" as a command.

It turns out that when FileBot added itself to the "Path" System Variable, it added a '\' to the end of the file. Removing this fixed everything up so "filebot" was now recognised as a command. Unsure if this was the correct location to post this, but I thought I'd let someone know. May have just been a problem on my end?

Either way, to resolve the issue I have explained here:

Right click "My Computer" and go to properties.
Click "Advanced System Settings"
Down the bottom of that window will be a button that says "Environment Variables...", open that.
In the second box that says "System Variables" scroll down to select "Path" and click "Edit"
At the end of the box labelled "Variable Value" it should have "C:\Program Files (x86)\FileBot\".
Remove the '\' from the end of the string and click OK.
FileBot will now work as a command.

If this is an issue that isn't just me, I'm just putting this to alert the developer and let others know how to fix the problem.

Post by **rednoah** » 27 Aug 2012, 13:43

PATH is automatically adjusted by msi so basically Windows itself updating the %PATH%. With or without \ both works. The reason cmd didn't recognize filebot at first is that it's reading PATH on startup. So if you first start cmd and then install filebot it will use the old PATH and not find anything until you restart cmd.

gmcclelland · Post by **gmcclelland** » 27 Aug 2012, 13:49

Well, fancy that. I must have just not realised that. Thanks for that though.

I can't seem to get uTorrent to run a script after the torrent finishes either. No luck.

Post by **rednoah** » 27 Aug 2012, 14:02

I donno. What's it doing? In the utorrent log it'll show you exactly what command it's calling, just try pasting that into the cmd and see what happens.

doctorzoidberg · Post by **doctorzoidberg** » 29 Aug 2012, 11:47

Hey again,

Your earlier suggestion worked for me and as it turns out the problem was caused by files that had already been renamed. I was running it against a set of folders that I had used another renaming program on previously so most of the episodes had already been renamed to the correct standard. I think the spaces that were added to the file name (ie :The League instead of the.league like when it was originally downloaded) caused the match to the TVdb to choose the wrong show.

I am still in experimental mode with this at the moment but all signs are looking positive. Thanks again for all your hard work on this great application!

trucker · Post by **trucker** » 01 Sep 2012, 02:30

Since updating to the new version the script no longer seems to fetch artwork and info. What could to check to find out why ?

Post by **rednoah** » 01 Sep 2012, 05:23

Run it manually in the console and see what happens. Make sure you're running the latest version of filebot with the latest version of this script.

trucker · Post by **trucker** » 01 Sep 2012, 10:31

downloaded the latest version of filebot yesterday and it is using your online script so it should be the latest?
the manual version in the cmd shell behaves the same. also what do I need to add to update the xbmc library running on the same machine. the old version was working perfectly for me until i believe the script was updated for the new filebot version

Post by **rednoah** » 01 Sep 2012, 12:00

1. Then it should both be the latest. Send me the console output and I'll have a look what's happening.

2. Just add the XBMC host like like it says in the options docs, i.e. --def xbmc=localhost

ashfallen0 · Post by **ashfallen0** » 08 Sep 2012, 11:38

So, I'm liking the fully automated usage since my media server also runs PS3MS as a service, and the cleaner sorting is a bonus. I do need a little leading to the water so to speak, and here is why:

My current process:
I run utorrent with an RSS feed from showrss.kamorra.info, downloaded into a temp folder;
Utorrent dumps completed files into a "complete" folder;
PS3MS sees files and I watch TV.

I would like this process:
Utorrent loads RSS Feed;
Utorrent downloads tv shows;
Utorrent calls Filebot;
Filebot renames then moves/sorts files into "TV/NEW/{n} - {'S'+s.pad(2)}E{e.pad(2)} - {t} [{hpi}][{resolution} {vc}-{ac}]"
PS3MS sees files and I watch TV.

I have a problem with the second setup, and that is 3 of my favorite shows I would prefer them to use:
{n} - {airdate} - {t} [{hpi}][{resolution} {vc}-{ac}]
I don't know how to use the automation aspect of the utorrent.postprocess.groovy to choose only those 3 shows from herd and use a separate format?

bixtool · Post by **bixtool** » 08 Sep 2012, 16:31

Hi,

I just discovered filebot and this script is exactly what i'm looking for.
One small problem: I don't save my tv series to a subfolder. They are saved by series name to the root of an external drive:

F:/Name/Season N/Name - S00E00 - Title.ext

This script uses:
$output/TV Shows/Name/Season N/Name - S00E00 - Title.ext

I guess I need:
$output/Name/Season N/Name - S00E00 - Title.ext

I've tried unsuccessfully to edit the script to remove the "TV Shows" folder but I don't understand the scripting language enough yet to make this simple change.

Can anyone help?

tks

You can change the format in the script, just lookup the format parameter of the rename function. e.g. rename(..., format:'''...''', ...). Which files to process you can also easy adjust in the script by ignoring invalid files (which is already done for certain tags), just modify the forceIgnore(file) { ... } function.

Many thanks. I took a closer look at the error ouput and I discovered "filenotfound" errors. I had edited and renamed the script to test.groovy. That is why none of my edits worked earlier. Filebot was searching online for test.groovy. I added -script "path" and it worked mostly but htpc.groovy was not found. I did see it in the online script database. Can local scripts be included in the command line? I cannot find settings anywhere in the filebot program

hi,
that doesn't seem to work for me on win 7.

This works:

Can I drop the 'fn:' and use the windows unc directory style somehow? 'c:\tv' instead of 'c:/tv'
It also appears I need " " around the path.

Read this:
http://filebot.sourceforge.net/forums/v ... f=4&t=5#p5

* filepath (slash/blackslash doesn't matter) or http url (only slash obviously)
* fn:name is for the default online scripts
* g:script is for inline scripts
* system:in is for piping the script into stdin

Note: Some scripts may include(...) other scripts. In that case the include name is resolved relatively, but you can write a local script and include online scripts via url or fn:name schemes.

What's not working with serviio? Just initiating a rescan is plex/xbmc specific. If you find out how to do that with serviio I can add that.

Hi!
I first used this script yesterday and everything worked fine from uTorrent.
Today, however I got a new movie and I get this result:

Code: Select all

Parameter: xbmc = 192.168.0.13
Parameter: subtitles = y
Parameter: artwork = y
Parameter: ut_dir = C:\Users\XXXXX\Downloads\Unsorted\The.Cabin.In.The.Woods.2011

Parameter: ut_label =
Parameter: ut_state = 5
Notify XBMC: 192.168.0.13
Done ?(?????)?

and the movie isn't extracted or copied or anything.
The same happens if I use the manual command-line thingy.

Any ideas?

Thanx

Looks like it can't find any archives or video files. What files are in that folder?

bawng · Post by **bawng** » 16 Sep 2012, 18:26

Rar files from .rar, r00, r01 ... r93 as well as an .nfo and an .sfv

Post by **rednoah** » 17 Sep 2012, 09:23

Tested with .rar, r00, r01 ... r93 and works perfectly fine. Latest FileBot with latest utorrent-postprocess definitely works as expected. Run some tests yourself to check what's wrong with the input or if you made some modifications that make it skip the extract() step.

bawng · Post by **bawng** » 17 Sep 2012, 13:20

For all other films I've tried, the script has worked perfectly, whether RARed or not.
I'm using the online script so I haven't made any changes.

I'm thinking that maybe it has something to do with the file path. Are there any know issues with spaces or too many characters or something?

Post by **rednoah** » 17 Sep 2012, 15:29

Send me the full paths to all the files and I'll try to recreate it? There shouldn't be any problems with perfectly normal input data like this.

PS: You can easy copy files names into the clipboard / text file via List panel (kinda like ls > files.txt)

Works for me. Except extracting the volumes failes since it's all empty files. I don't know why but in your console logs it seems like it's not even trying to extract anything. Must be something wrong with the input.

Where are the configured username and password stored?

Answer: On linux: ~/java/.userPrefs/

Post by **rednoah** » 25 Sep 2012, 13:52

It's using Java Preferences. On Windows it'll save stuff to the registry, Linux & Mac it'll be managed in properties files. The portable version will always use a properties file.

@see

Yeah, like I said it has worked perfectly well with all other films and series. Since this is the only problem I've had, it doesn't really matter. Thank you for the help anyway!

Post by **rednoah** » 27 Sep 2012, 09:20

If you're using this script with µTorrent on Windows you might find it annoying that it'll popup a cmd window stealing the focus each time. You can fix this by calling programs like this: cmd.exe /c start /min ... ^& exit

Code: Select all

cmd.exe /c start /min filebot -script fn:utorrent-postprocess --output "X:/path/to/media" --action copy --conflict override -non-strict --def subtitles=y artwork=y "ut_dir=%D" "ut_file=%F" "ut_kind=%K" "ut_title=%N" "ut_label=%L" "ut_state=%S" ^& exit

bixtool · Post by **bixtool** » 30 Sep 2012, 03:19

Hi,
I have been using your script successfully now for several week, but recently problems have developed.
Now:
Utorrent appears to execute the my code on download completion but no files are processed (a window flashes too quickly to read).
However:
When I execute the code copied from Utorrent's logger screen at the command prompt, the script executes perfectly. All files are processed.

Here is my code:

Code: Select all

filebot -script "c:/tv/test.groovy" --output "j:" --action copy --conflict override -non-strict --def subtitles=y artwork=y  [email protected]:pass123  [email protected] "ut_dir=%D" "ut_file=%F" "ut_kind=%K" "ut_title=%N" "ut_label=%L" "ut_state=%S"

Any ideas?

How can I setup a detailed log for Filebot so I can determine why the script fails?

Thanks
B

Post by **rednoah** » 30 Sep 2012, 05:28

Try redirecting the output into by using a cmd like this:

Code: Select all

filebot -version 2>&1 >> log.txt

bixtool · Post by **bixtool** » 01 Oct 2012, 01:36

Hi,
The script fails from utorrent, but works from the command line. The Filebot directory is added to my path statement. I even ran utorrent as an Administrator. I see the cmd window pop up when a download completes and the script is executed but it closes too quickly to see any errors.

Any reason why the script fails from utorrent, but when the logger line is pasted to a command window it works every time?

B

Post by **rednoah** » 01 Oct 2012, 02:06

Until we manage to see that console output I also wouldn't know what's going wrong.

Redirect console output into a file like I should you in my last post. That way the console output gets written to file instead of the console window. Then you can check that file to see the error messages.

d33g · Post by **d33g** » 01 Oct 2012, 03:14

Hi all,

sorry i've been trying to get my head around this and not having a whole lot of success...

Below is the exact line that I have pasted into uTorrent;
filebot -script fn:utorrent-postprocess --output "R:/-=To Sort=-/_Renamed" --action copy --conflict override -non-strict --def subtitles=y artwork=y "ut_dir=%D" "ut_file=%F" "ut_kind=%K" "ut_title=%N" "ut_label=%L" "ut_state=%S"

And I downloaded and copied the utorrent-postprocess.groovy script and pasted into the filebot install dir changing the first line to match the above specifying my "R:/-=To Sort=-/_Renamed" which is where i want everything to be extracted and renamed then dumped into.

NOTE// I currently have everything set to download to a "_Downloading" folder which then moves to a "_Completed" folder once the download is complete, if that is causing any problems...

I tried deleting my "R:/**" path and replacing it with log.txt but I could never find any log file being generated to find the issue...

Any help is GREATLY appreciated.

Thanks,

Post by **rednoah** » 01 Oct 2012, 04:23

1. You don't need to download anything, -script fn:name means it'll download/update the script automatically. No need to change the script.

2. --output <folder> is where files go to. Standard output is written to the console, you can pipe that into a file if you want.

3. You literally ONLY need to follow the steps. Most importantly that filebot is installed properly and that it'll run in console.

4. You can debug things by manually running the command from the console and see what happens. uTorrent somewhere has a log what commands it calls with exactly what arguments. You can copy that and try it.

d33g · Post by **d33g** » 01 Oct 2012, 05:18

Thanks for such a quick reply.

Ok thanks for letting me know that.

If i run manually from console specifying an input folder it will work, when I run from uTorrent only removing the input information as it states that the command will interpret the input directly from uTorrent the console opens but closes before I can see whats its doing and it doesn't complete any task.

Sorry to be such a pain.

Many thanks for your help already.

Post by **rednoah** » 01 Oct 2012, 06:20

That's why you have to >> REDIRECT OUTPUT INTO A FILE <<

Try this. See what happens. It's the very basics of using the cmdline. You can do this with any command.
filebot -version 2>&1 >> log.txt

YOU CAN PRINT CONSOLE OUTPUT TO A FILE INSTEAD OF THE CONSOLE VERY EASILY.

Hi,

Everything works perfectly for me but my xbmc window still minimizes when the command prompt is in use. This is after I added the fix by calling programs like this: cmd.exe /c start /min ... ^& exit
The command prompt window does start minimized but my xbmc minimizes too.
I want to add that if i use my remote for itunes to play music that xbmc also minimizes when I do this.

I use Windows 7 64x
xbmc Eden v11

Great scipt and thanks in advance.

Post by **rednoah** » 01 Oct 2012, 14:21

On the utorrent forums I read that you can make this work by running a .vbs script from utorrent and then kicking off the filebot call from the .vbs script. If anybody gets that working please share.

sam829 · Post by **sam829** » 01 Oct 2012, 16:07

First bit of code is a VB script, .vbs extension. You ONLY need to modify the location of your batch file.

Ex.) C:\Program Files\Filebot\tvdirwatcher.bat <-- Change this to the location of your batch file

Code: Select all

Set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
WshShell.Run chr(34) & "C:\Program Files\Filebot\tvdirwatcher.bat" & Chr(34), 0
Set WshShell = Nothing

Second bit of code is a .bat file. Only being displayed as an example.

Code: Select all

filebot -rename M:/TVComplete --output \\ds212/TV --format "{n}/Season {s}/{n} {sxe} {t}" -non-strict --db TheTVDB

Very simple and works perfectly. If you have any questions at all please feel free to ask away!

One more thing, consider supporting RedNoah

I wouldn't have been so motivated to figure out the above problem if it wasn't for him.

This script (and app) is awesome.

Is there any way this can output to different paths (or drives) for Movies and TV shows?

something like this:

Code: Select all

filebot -script fn:utorrent-postprocess --outputMovie "X:/Movies" --outputTV "Y:/TV" ...

hi Rednoah,
I discovered my problem was windows 7 64bit related.

I added a "pause" to filebot.cmd and discovered java was not invoking at the command line for 32bit applications.

I only had 64bit java installed. I installed the 32bit java jre as well and now everything works as advertised.

Sorry for all the confusion

I'm not sure about the script, but you can run two instances of utorrent: one for movie downloads and one for tv downloads. You can specify different Run Program strings for each application.
I've used it in the past.

I have this from my notes... not sure of the source:

Create a shortcut and add /RECOVER with a space at the end for the target....

ex: "C:\Program Files\uTorrent\uTorrent 3.2\uTorrent\uTorrent.exe" /RECOVER

For each instance you must have a different port specified in uTorrent and forwarded in the router...

You will also need to check or manually add firewall rules for each version.

Run the shortcut and you should be good to go.

I believe I even ran each as a different user to keep things separated in windows.

I can't seem to get uTorrent to run a script after the torrent finishes either. No luck.

Do you have 32bit as well as 64bit java installed?

utorrent only uses the 32bit java runtime.

Thanks for the tip. I'll look into that if there's no other option within the script.

You should be able to quite easily modify the script with those updated. Just look for the rename(...) calls and override the output:"...", format:"..." values the way you want.

Hi rednoah,

I have been using your script (with the vbscript) for a couple of days now and its been working like a dream. But I have one last teensy problem.
It seems that some torrents like to abbreviate the downloaded RAR files that come with the torrent. (for example; torrent name:The Hangover Part 2, extracted file name TH2.mkv) which results in the movie being extracted in the utorrent Downloads folder and not in the TV/Movie folders. The same happens with talk shows (like Conan, David Letterman, Daily Show etc.)
Do you know how to fix this?

Thanks in advance.

Post by **rednoah** » 07 Oct 2012, 01:18

Run the cmd manually with those parameters. Unpacking always extracts to its current location. It should extract to rar-parent-folder/rar-filename/*, it'll only be moved/copied as part of the renaming. Maybe that last part failed because of not being able to make sense of the input?

Post by **rednoah** » 09 Oct 2012, 17:10

1. If you specify the standard --lang ja argument it'll carry into the script, for subtitles and renaming. If you only want japanese subs but english episode titles you'll need to hard-code it in the script.

2. Nope, because you really should seed your stuff.

Anyway, doesn't utorrent have something for that, like auto-remove if it's finished seeding?

3. Haha!! What's the filename? Just "Bolt"? I've got no idea how it'll get from here to "A Complete History Of My Sexual Failures (2008)"

-non-strict should make the strict more lenient = makes things work in much more cases, but risk of mismatches is higher as well

--conflict skip|override is for what should happen if the move/copy-destination file already exists, i.e. you downloaded the same episode twice (maybe HD the second time around)

* since that movie got completely messed up I suppose it's hash mismatch in the OpenSubtitles database. Usually it helps identify movies regardless of the filename... you can try what happens if you run the script on an empty file with the exact same name as your Bolt movie file, that way we can see if it's really the moviehash that's messing things up.

EDIT: With future releases I'm gonna try and throw out OpenSubtitles moviehash lookup for movie detection.

So it should be:

What I am asking is what goes into "fn:"

EDIT: Sorry, I found the answer to this in another post on the forums. It's either "-script [local filename] or fn:[online script name]"

@see here:
http://filebot.sourceforge.net/forums/v ... f=4&t=5#p5

fn:name is just an easy way to access the scripts online, with svn:name you'll get the latest script directly from the SVN. You can specify a filepath or an url as well. Then there is -script g:{expression} for inline groovy and -script system:in for reading the script from stdin.

hhholmes · Post by **hhholmes** » 14 Oct 2012, 21:06

This is very promising! It looks like this simple bit of code can replace the need for multiple programs, like SCRU (to unpack files), theRenamer (to rename them), and EventGhost (to tie it all together in a single macro). But it doesn't replace the need for a scraper, like MediaCompanion or Ember Media Manager, correct?

I'm new to scripting so I have some (possibly silly) questions:

1. My media folders are currently at the root. For example:

E:\Movies
E:\TV Shows
E:\etc.

Do I replace "X:/path/to/media" with simply "E:/"?

2. What part of the filebot script determines if the torrent is a movie, a TV show, a basket of apples, etc.? Just curious.

3. What part of the filebot script determines how the files will be organized and renamed (e.g., ... /Name - S00E00 - Title). I don't see any syntax that would suggest this. (I'd like to know in case I want to tweak how things are named.)

4. in UTorrent, should I change my "Save In" path (where torrents are saved) to E:\? Or does the script pretty much override whatever I put there?

Thank you!

Post by **rednoah** » 15 Oct 2012, 06:33

0. It'll replace everything. If you run the script with --def artwork=y it'll fetch artwork and generate nfo files using TheTVDB and TheMovieDB data respectively.

1. Yep, --output "E:" will do.

2. That's complicated and is based on various heuristics, filename patterns, number of files with similar patterns, knowledge about movie/series names, etc. So if you can tell what it is just by looking at the filename, the script will probably get it right as well. The label in utorrent can be used to disable auto-detection and force one of the TV Show/Anime/Movie/Ignore modes if you want.

Note: It'll only enter Anime mode if it is forced via utorrent label, otherwise Anime will fall into the TV Show category and renamed using TheTVDB data.

3. Those are the 3 formats used for the 3 respective modes, TV Series, Anime and Movie.

Code: Select all

def format = [
	tvs:   '''TV Shows/{n}/{episode.special ? "Special" : "Season "+s}/{n} - {episode.special ? "S00E"+special.pad(2) : s00e00} - {t}''',
	anime: '''Anime/{n}/{n} - {sxe} - {t}''',
	mov:   '''Movies/{n} ({y})/{n} ({y}){" CD$pi"}{".$lang"}'''
]

4. The script doesn't care about he original torrent files, utorrent will just pass in a few variables and the paths to the downloaded files and this script will take it from there. There's no magic happening, it's all in that cmdline call.

hhholmes · Post by **hhholmes** » 15 Oct 2012, 16:35

Thank you for the reply.

I've tried several torrents but none of them are getting processed with the script. When the torrent is done downloading, I do see the cmd screen pop up with some lines of code run but it disappears before I can see what it says.

The torrents download as usual, but they don't get moved to the output location. For the output I've tried both "E:", "E:\Movies", and various other examples.

Any suggestions?

Post by **rednoah** » 15 Oct 2012, 16:50

It's a command, just open the cmd and just run it manually and see what happens. You can copy the exact cmdline uTorrent is calling from utorrents log tab.

Rednoah,
Your script works fantastic. Thank you for sharing.

Now, if only I could remove completed downloads from utorrent with a script I could clean things up nicely. Have you attempted this?

Post by **rednoah** » 15 Oct 2012, 17:43

And what happens to seeding? I guess uTorrent must have a function somewhere to make it auto-remove a torrent once it's got enough ration.

I'm not gonna add uTorrent controls to the script, but you can play with it if you want. It's definitly possible using utorrents http/json api.

Ah! Thanks. A lot of output, but I suspect all of it stems from this error which occurs right away (I replaced the actual user name with "MyUserName"):

"...
FileNotFoundException: C:\Users\MyUserName\%D
java.io.FileNotFoundException: C:\Users\MyUserName\%D
..."

uTorrent is installed on the C drive (which is where the default user folder is), and I'm trying to export the torrents to the E drive. Perhaps that's the problem?

The script is working for movies (they get moved to E:\Movies are are appropriately renamed, etc.) but it's not working with TV shows. They are not getting moved to "E:\TV Shows", not getting renamed, etc.

Below is what the uTorrent command log showed for a recent example:

filebot -script fn:utorrent-postprocess --output "E:" --action copy --conflict override -non-strict --def subtitles=y artwork=y "ut_dir=E:\Torrents" "ut_file=The.Daily.Show.2012.10.18.President.Barack.Obama.HDTV.x264-LMAO.[VTV].mp4" "ut_kind=single" "ut_title=The.Daily.Show.2012.10.18.President.Barack.Obama.HDTV.x264-LMAO.[VTV].mp4" "ut_label=showRSS personal feed" "ut_state=5"

That is an odd one. Do you use some wierd username or something? Something causing ehcache to crash when it's initializing. I guess for some reason it can't store it's cache in your home folder.

You could either just use a normal username or set filebot up to not work in your home folder. See the configs of the portable version for how to do that.

The username does have an ampersand (&) in it, and it seems this will produce this kind of error. (For example, http://www.dailytechnologytips.com/2009 ... ce-to.html.)

I will try to change the username, but from what I've gathered so far this is no simple task.

Thank you for the help and the great program.

Post by **rednoah** » 21 Oct 2012, 02:02

I'll submit a bug report ehcache regarding this issue. In the meantime why don't you use FileBot portable? You can still use the filebot command. Just specify the full path to the filebot.cmd

EDIT: Found a workaround in ehcache so special characters in the username shouldn't be a problem anymore with next release.

hhholmes · Post by **hhholmes** » 27 Oct 2012, 00:39

It appears that the replies to this original post keep getting deleted (are they being moved elsewhere in the forum?).

I was having trouble getting filebot to process torrented TV shows because my username includes an "&" symbol. You suggested I use filebot portable, but I can't find that thread for the details.

Is it as simple as uninstalling filebot, installing filebot portable, and telling uTorrent to use the same script as above ("filebot -script fn:utorrent-postprocess --output "X:/path/to/me)?

Post by **rednoah** » 27 Oct 2012, 03:37

Try the latest b2 release from here. That should fix it:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/filebo ... ebot/HEAD/

You need to copy the whole command line with options and arguments into uTorrent as described and shown on the screenshot.

If you use portable you need to give uTorrent the full path to filebot.cmd, you can try running filebot -version in a cmd window first to figure out how it works.

Morf · Post by **Morf** » 02 Nov 2012, 21:11

I've started having a problem in release 3.1 which I suspect is due to this change.

Once I've renamed my files I copy them all to a NAS which is not NTFS, now I've started using 3.1 every time I copy the file I get a message saying...

"Property loss: Are you sure you want to copy this file without its properties...."

It's going to get very wearing very fast having to answer this question every time... to the extent that I may revert to an older version of FileBot or stop using it.

I'm presuming this is because of the extended attributes being applied to the file.

If so, is it possible to disable it? There's something about disabling it in the post above but I'm afraid it makes no sense to me, I'm not a programmer just a dumb (l)user...

Windows 7 x64 and Jave 7 update 1, if that helps.

Post by **rednoah** » 02 Nov 2012, 23:31

Erm, didn't know windows would annoy you about that... Do you have to confirm for each file or just once for all?

You can do 2 things:
-DuseNativeShell=false
(to use Java move/copy instead of Windows Shell)

-DuseExtendedFileAtrributes=false
(to disable EAs)

It's all in the *.l4f.ini files, you can edit these settings in those config files. Those settings are default if you use FileBot (platform) shortcut to run it.

EDIT:
I might be able to suppress those notifications but still allow you to use the windows move/copy dialog for progress indication. I'll send u an update tomorrow.

Post by **rednoah** » 03 Nov 2012, 10:21

:: UPDATE ::

Please try r1288 and see if move/copy will still make you confirm these "Property loss" things:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/filebot ... ebot/HEAD/

(just override the FileBot.jar in your install folder with the one here to update everything)

Morf · Post by **Morf** » 03 Nov 2012, 11:56

Thanks for the quick response!

To take your questions in order:

1) I have to confirm on every move/copy operation. If I copy several files at once I do get prompted for each file (so several times during the copy), although there is the usual Windows "do this for all current items" checkbox. Even if I check this, I will be asked again on the next copy.

2) -DuseExtendedFileAtrributes=false made the problem go away, both for the platform version and the normal version (I prefer the look and feel of the normal version).

3) -DuseNativeShell=false is already set for the platform version, and that didn't help (until I set -DuseExtendedFileAtrributes=false). I'm renaming the files in their existing folder, then copying outside FileBot - not sure if this makes a difference.

4) r1288 - I tried this first, without setting -DuseExtendedFileAtrributes=false, and it didn't help.

So, I'm now using the ship version of 3.1 (not r1288) with -DuseExtendedFileAtrributes=false set, and the normal version works fine for me.

Problem solved as far as I am concerned, but if you'd like me to be a guinea pig for testing that would be fine.

For the benefit of anybody else who has this problem, you need to edit either filebot.platform.launcher.l4j.ini or filebot.launcher.l4j.ini depending upon whether you use the Filebot or Filebot (Platform) shortcut and change the highlighted line. If you're using Windows 7 with User Access Control enabled and Filebot is installed in C:\Program Files, you won't be able to save the file directly if you edit it with notepad: save it somewhere else and then copy it across manually.

Post by **rednoah** » 03 Nov 2012, 12:09

Oh, so you first rename files in place, and only later move them to that other non-NTFS drive? Then you need -DuseExtendedFileAttributes=false to make FileBot not set EAs in the first place. EAs are set as files are renamed and it looks like the normal windows move/copy dialog is a bit stupid about handling those.

Can you try with r1288, but move-renaming files directly to their final destination, you know with absolute path as format? If FileBot is invoking the move/copy operations it should suppress these messages, should work with both -DuseNativeShell=false and -DuseNativeShell=true.

Morf · Post by **Morf** » 03 Nov 2012, 14:34

OK, copying within Filebot with version 3.1 and -DuseNativeShell=true, I got the error. With the new version, I don't, regardless of -DuseNativeShell. So you're successfully suppressing the messages.

In my circumstances, this isn't much of a help because I could be copying the file to any of a number of different locations or even drives depending upon the particular program, so I'll stick to my existing way of working (rename in place and copy later) but with -DuseExtendedFileAttributes=false set.

Many thanks for your help!

D:/TV Shows/{n}/{episode.special ? 'Special' : 'Season '+s}/{n} - {episode.special ? 'S00E'+special.pad(2) : s00e00} - {t}

I'm trying to replace "s00e00" with "s{s.pad(2)}e{e.pad(2)}"

but I cannot do that because they're within a {}, and reflect as the season and episode numbers instead of text. I'm not familiar with groovy, but is there a way I can replace the "S" and "E" with lower case? I'm not a fan of capitols because I find it hard to scan by eye, the lower case makes it easier to divide

I have managed to figure how to replace "S"

s00e00.replaceFirst(/^S/, "s")

i'm messing with how to change the "E"
