[Suggestion] Store favorite shows in local database ?

Is it possible to set some of the tv shows as favorite, so that it will fetch all the episode information from internet and save it in the local database (HDD), so when we rename the favorite show it doesn't have to connect to the internet, although even with this it isn't taking much time, just an idea, if it is possible to implement in filebot.

FileBot does cache everything for a few days. So if you fetch data once, it'll just use the local cache if you try to fetch the same data again in the same ~ 2 day time frame. Dynamic search results can't be cached quite the same way of course.

can you elaborate it a bit how it store.
like if i fetch all the episodes information using this
Code: Select all
filebot -list --db thetvdb --q Dexter --format "{s}x{e.pad(2)} {t}"
does this going to store all the episode in local database for two days, and in this two days period when i try to use the below command, does it going to look at the local database and rename it instantly ?
Code: Select all
filebot -rename "d:/tvshows/" --q "Dexter" --format "{n} E{e} [{t}]" -non-strict
in the above command i haven't mentioned
, so it going to look at local first and then tvdb or even if i use that
command it will first look at local db, if not available fetch from net.

Pretty much.
But if you're renaming things I'd make sure to move them into another folder to make sure files won't be processed over and over indefinitely. This sort of behaviour might get you banned despite caching.

Well, if you request the same data every 2 days for weeks then you're really just asking for it right?
Nice try, but you're just specifying another input argument. It's
--output "/path/to/folder"

can we extend the number days to cache or just store it permanently unless user wish to clear cache, i don't think it will take much space.
thanks it worked.
Code: Select all
filebot -rename "d:/tvshows/" --q "Dexter" --format "{n} E{e} [{t}]" -non-strict --output "d:/download"

No. That's not possible.
