Amc script and folder paths

[barbz127]

Hi all,

I am trying for automate the processing for completed downloads using the amc script but I am having an issue which I'm hoping there is a workaround for.

The problem been the cli application will not throw an error but it will not output to the folder I specify rather it will open to the folder where the command is been run from. I do not have the full script but I know it works as if I point it to a different folder it works, just not with the output folder as per below.

The input directory is I:/downloads/complete
The output is I:/ (where a to shows and movies, etc folders sit)

Is this working the way it is because the output could contain the input and a workaround would be to make a I:/media folder?

Anyone else seen this beforehand?

Thankyou
Paul

For confirmation the script (from batch file) I am running is:

Code: Select all

Echo off

call filebot -script fn:amc --output "I:" --log-file "I:\DL\2.Completed\!.1.Scripts\test.log.txt" --action move --conflict auto -non-strict "I:\DL\2.Completed\!.2.ToSort" --def excludeList=I:\DL\2.Completed\!.1.Scripts\test.exclude.txt deleteAfterExtract=y clean=y subtitles=en unsorted=y 

The output of this command is (file name replaced).

Code: Select all

I:\DL\2.Completed\!.1.Scripts>Echo off
Locking I:\DL\2.Completed\!.1.Scripts\test.log.txt
Parameter: excludeList = I:\DL\2.Completed\!.1.Scripts\test.exclude.txt
Parameter: deleteAfterExtract = y
Parameter: clean = y
Parameter: subtitles = en
Parameter: unsorted = y
Argument: I:\DL\2.Completed\!.2.ToSort

You can see above that it creates the file structure in the location as the logs (where the script is run from) rather than I: (I have tested I: and I:/ neither work); on the other hand if I tell it to go to I:/media it works as expected.

Thankyou

I recommend using I:/Media then. Windows drive folders are special and odd, so something might be interfering with path resolution.

Will do, just thought I would ask first.

Waiting for my synology to arrive then I can set it up properly

Thankyou for your work on this project.
