Automating Synology + FileBot

Post by Cloaky »

Hello Everyone,

I am trying to achieve a fully automated system to download an rename Movies and TV Shows.

After a little bit of thinking, here is what I am looking for:
  • 1. Automatic download movies lates Movies
    2. Automatic download latest TV Shows Episodes
    3. Rename them properly and move them to the correct folder
And this is what I have achieved so far:
  • 1. Set up two RSS links, Movies and TV Shows - Done
    2. Save the Movies in a specific folder and the TV Shows in another - Not Done (You can't do that using the Synolgy Download Station, they are all saved in the default folder. I am still searching for the the best way to do that)
    3. Develop a script to rename files properly and move them to the right folder - Done
    4. Create a task that will run the script every time a download is complete or in an interval - Not Done
    5. Generate an alert in case something goes wrong during the rename - Not Done (I don't want to use the non-scrict option, I rather receive and email or a push notification stating that something went wrong and do the matching myself)
Renaming Script:

Code: Select all

/volume1/@appstore/filebot/filebot.sh -script fn:renall /volume1/Downl
oads/Movies --db TheMovieDB --output /volume1/Video/Movies
TV Show RSS:

Code: Select all

Hello Cloaky,

Why not use the AMC script for filebot ?

It can do everything you want plus even more (except downloading the movies).

AMC can find and rename movies and TV Shows and move/copy them to a directory of choice.

It should also be able to separate Movies from TV Shows (so far I was not able to get that feature working, but you might be able to do it). Also downloads subtitles, artwork and generate nfo files. Send emails on events and so on. It's really nice.

Here is a link for it's thread: http://www.filebot.net/forums/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=215

I'm not sure what Synology Download Station is exactly and if it can call a script upon download completion, but you can easily set up a cron job (assuming you run linux) to execute the script on event or interval.

Hope that was of some help to you :)

Good luck!
