rename and combine video files from multiple folders

[moltra]

I am in process of converting my server to Ubuntu 12.04 from Windows 2008. I have two 1TB drives that I was using with windows. I had my video files on both of the drives. I now have the two drives setup as a LVM on linux. I all the videos now on the same drive, but I want to run filebot and rename the files, and sort into video folders with dates and then series folders.

Here is the script that I am trying to run.

Code: Select all

filebot -script fn:amc --output "/home/mark/media" --log-file amc.log --action test -non-strict "/home/mark/old_download" --def music=y subtitles=n artwork=n --def "movieFormat=/home/mark/media/Movies/{y}/{fn}" "musicFormat=/home/mark/media/audio/{n}/{fn}" --def excludeList=amc.txt

I am either getting all files excluded or no files selected for processing, when I try different settings in the above CLI.

Thanks in advance for any help you can give me.

/home/mark/oldhd does not contain any video files

I have tried multiple folders and all of them is saying "no files selected"

Code: Select all

:~/oldhd/Movies$ filebot -script fn:amc --output "/home/mark/media" --log-file amc.log --action move -non-strict /home/mark/oldhd/Movies --def subtitles=n artwork=n --def "movieFormat=/home/mark/media/Movies/{y}/{fn}" "musicFormat=/home/mark/media/audio/{n}/{fn}" --def excludeList=amc.txt

Code: Select all

:~/oldhd/Movies$ find /home/mark/oldhd/Movies -follow  -maxdepth 1 -type f -name "*.avi"| wc -l 
335

I tried it again on another folder and got the same response. as shown below this folder has 335 avi files.

I think I figured it out. I am not sure what I was doing wrong but it is working fine now.

I have all my video files in one folder now, but about half of them are in the root folder and the other half are in year folders. I started using filebot about a year ago. Is there a way to scan a certain folder and not subfolders and then rename and move files to correct year folders.

Yes, that's default behavior. Just pass in the files / folders you want to rename, or just don't use -r.

Besides, if you're just renaming movies you can just do a simple filebot -rename.
