FileBot

Posted: **15 Jan 2015, 06:16**

Filebot works fine most of the time, but occasionally fails. I run it from utorrent with the following script:

"C:\Program Files\FileBot\filebot.launcher.exe" -script fn:amc --output "R:\XBMC" --log-file amc.log --action move --conflict override -non-strict --def music=y artwork=n xbmc=192.168.1.104 pushbullet=v17v9kWZ3OjgL5WvdVYHIk2EyCURH7NLmYujCXJdTpdpA clean=y unsorted=y reportError=y "seriesFormat=R:\XBMC\_TV Shows\{n}\{'Season '+s}\{fn}" "movieFormat=R:\XBMC\_Movies\{n} ({y})\{fn}" "ut_label=%L" "ut_state=%S" "ut_title=%N" "ut_kind=%K" "ut_file=%F" "ut_dir=%D"

Some things get left behind in the default download folder. Often, they'll make the required folders at their target destination but never complete the move there. The log reports "The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process".

My log is here

Any suggestions?

As long as files are locked by uTorrent they can't be moved. Use --action copy instead.

Thanks rednoah. Is there a way to delete originals once the copy is complete? Or a way to introduce a pause to increase the likelihood that uTorrent will have released the file? Is there another tool that I can use in tandem with filebot to achieve the same outcome?

No. Because locked (i.e. while seeding) files can't be deleted, that's why they can't be moved.

If you know what hardlinks are I recommend using hardlinks, that's the solution you're looking for, but I don't know how well it's supported on Windows, and most people don't understand the concept anyway.
