Hiya,

I'm running the following command from my little bash script, and its picking it up as a TV show? Its got some random DVD backups in. I thought filebot usually could pick up the context from the path? Its completely screwing the filenames.

Code: Select all

filebot --action test -non-strict -rename /media/shared/vault/Movies/DVD\ Backups/ --format "/media/shared/vault/Movies/DVD\ Backups/{n}-{'['+y+']'}{'-['+source+']'}{'-['+sf+']'}"
Filename pattern: [0.00] SxE, [1.00] CWS
Rename episodes using [TheTVDB]

Any ideas? The files inside are all in the format of:

Code: Select all

Movie Name-DVDRIP.mkv
Movie Name2-DVDRIP.mkv

Use the CLI properly:

Code: Select all

--db TheMovieDB

If you don't specify --db it'll guess based on filenames, which apparently looks like tv series, i.e. many files with the same name.

Use the amc script if you want better auto-detection.

Thanks for the reply. I thought it had some clever detection stuff built in, not just whatever db you specify.

Can I not specify multiple movie dbs? Or does it not fall back to other db's if one draws a blank anyway?

1.
Yes, but some clever detection stuff isn't perfect, especially for messy files, but I can't elaborate on that since you didn't post any filenames. The amc script as much more clever detection stuff built-in.

No. You should always use TheTVDB and TheMovieDB. And if something is missing you should add the missing information.
