Need recommendations for watcher script replacement...

[nzdreamer55]

Hello everyone,

I see that the watcher script is depreciated

http://www.filebot.net/forums/viewtopic ... 4&t=5#p132

and I would like to run filebot amc script per the recommendations against a target folder. I don't use a local torrent client so cannot tie it in per the examples. I could set up a recurring scheduled task in windows, but don't want to over burden the servers that are used for filebot.




Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Then you might wanna use the amc script in intervals. Just need to set --def excludeList correctly so it doesn't process stuff that has already been processed.

[nzdreamer55]

Thanks. So I see from the amc script I can include this

--def excludeList=amc-input.txt

Where is this txt file stored when run on windows machine?

Here is what I am using, but I keep getting e-mails every time it runs. I think it is processing the same files over and over.

Code: Select all

REM TV Renaming Filebot script
filebot -script fn:amc --def "seriesFormat=\\\\TITANSERVER/Series/{n}/{n} {episode.special ? 'Special' : 'Season '+s.pad(2)}/{n}.{s00e00}{'.'+[vf]}{'.'+[resolution]}{'.'+[vc]}{'.'+[ac]}{'.'+[af]}{'.'+[source]}{'.'+[group]}.{t}" --def "movieFormat=\\\\TITANSERVER/Movies/Movies/{n} ({y}) [{imdbid}]/{n} ({y}) [{imdbid}]{'.'+[vf]}{'.'+[resolution]}{'.'+[vc]}{'.'+[ac]}{'.'+[af]}{'.'+[source]}{'.'+[group]}" -r --log-file amc.log --action copy --conflict auto "D:\TVcurrent" --def subtitles=en --def backdrops=y --def artwork=y --def myepisodes=nzdreamer55:********* --def gmail=nzdreamer55**************:************** --def mailto=nzdreamer55************** --def reportError=y --def clean=y --def excludeList=amc-input.txt --def ut_label=tv

What's the output?

[nzdreamer55]

So I have a .bat file that runs every every 15 minutes. I get a email from filebot with the same files in it every time the bat file runs.

I don't know what this is... but I need the cmdline output, obviously...

It'll look something like this:

[nzdreamer55]

OK. I put 4 shows into the target folder to limit the number of files, but all 4 of these files have been run through filebot before so I would think that they should be ignored. I still got an e-mail stating that they were processed. I attached the output piped to a txt file and attached the txt file.

[rednoah]

This is only from a single run so I don't know if anything gets reprocessed if you run it again. In this log it definitely did process some files.

BTW are you running on the latest v4.5 or a recent BETA / RC thereof? This might explain why it works in my tests but not for you.

[nzdreamer55]

Sorry for only getting you 1 run. This output is from a batch file where I just duplicated the command line so that it runs a second time and outputs to a file. Filebot is emailing me when it completes the second run which it the same as the first run. I would expect if filebot were to ignore files that were already processed then I should not get a second email with all of the same files processed. I am running filebot 4.5 currently.

Thanks

[rednoah]

Can you try isolating the issue?

Does it happen always? For any input? Or only for archives? Or only for multi part archives? Do all archive paths get added to the exclude list file, or just the extracted files? Extracted archives should be added to the exclude list file and not touched in subsequent calls.

[nzdreamer55]

Can you show me what the output should look like when it works?
Where is the amc-input.txt?

[rednoah]

In your --output folder in a file called amc-input.txt

EDIT: you didn't set --output, then i have no idea, probably in the working directory, and if that's not writable it'll explain why it's not working.

[nzdreamer55]

Thanks for the help. It was that I had not set the output folder. Can you add this to your instruction on how to use the amc script?

http://www.filebot.net/forums/viewtopic.php?t=215

Maybe something about how the --def excludeList needs the output folder set?

I'm good now.
