FileBot

Hi All,

I have ran into an issue.
I can run the AMC Filebot terminal script by double clicking the executable and it work successfully to how I want it.

However, I have added the script to transmission to run after downloading, however it doesn't work. The only way I can get it to work through transmission is to run transmission as "sudo" through terminal. I am guessing it's a permission this with transmission, however I could be wrong.

I dont want to run "sudo /applications/transmission" everytime I want to have transmission open.

Lookin for help.,

Transmission is probably running as a special less privileged users. If you run Transmission as your own users it should have the same access permissions. Check Transmission forums for details on how to do this.

I thought so. I have looked but can't find answers . I would like to figure this out

This is the script I followed

#!/bin/bash
filebot -script fn:amc --output "path/to/folder" --log-file amc.log --action duplicate --conflict override -non-strict --def artwork=y "ut_dir=$TR_TORRENT_DIR/$TR_TORRENT_NAME" "ut_kind=multi" "ut_title=$TR_TORRENT_NAME"

one thing, does anyone know what to add into the script to once they have been duplciated and moved into the new directory to then remove and trash the original file??

I'm having this very same issue, did you ever figure out a solution?

You could try making transmission run with your normal user account instead of having it run with it's own minimal/restricted user.

Yeah, for some reason when Transmission runs as my normal user account the script won't execute. It's triggered by Transmission but doesn't run. The only way the script will run is if I run Transmission as the root. I'm baffled as to why or how to remedy it.

I'd start by finding a way to get output including error output!!!
