Duplicates with --conflict auto

[Timbo925]

Hi,
I was wondering how --conflict auto works and if their is a way to change it behavior to something more strict.
At the moment I am running the following script on my NAS every hour.

Code: Select all

-script fn:amc --output /Media --log-file amc.log --action copy --conflict auto

In the renaming scheme I use the video encoding, which works. Now for some reason this night for some of the files, filebot was unable to get the encoding information. This lead to both files existing in my output.

seriesName.s01e01.episodeName.720p.x264.mkv
seriesName.s01e01.episodeName.720p.mkv

Is this normal behavior for 'conflict auto'? It seems to me even no conflict is detected and just copy is used. Can I make the conflict detection more strict just based on seriesName and episode?

--conflict auto specifies what happens when the destination file already exists.

In your case there is two different files, so there is no conflict.

There is no duplicate detection. FileBot does not keep an inventory of your files.
