uTorrent and FileBot RSS Downloading - 2 Issues/Questions

Post by nzhardcore »

Hi there

Currently running uTorrent combined with FileBot to automatically download TV Shows using RSS feeds. Works great bar a couple of things now.

1) TV episodes now seem to create their own sub-folders which is bloody annoying meaning I have to manually move them up one level to where they should be, e.g. Z:\TV Shows\TV Show Name\Season1\TV Show Name S01E01.avi instead of how they now save e.g. Z:\TV Shows\TV Show Name\Season1\Original.Long.File.TV.Show.Name\TV Show Name S01E01.avi

2) TV episodes are now downloading junk files with the actual video file. Seem to always get .nfo and .txt files with each episode (maybe this is what causes the sub-folder?)

My questions are, is there a way to stop the torrents creating their own sub-folders OR automatically shift them up one level to where they should be and delete the sub-folder they created? And, is there a way to filter out all non-video files from the RSS torrent downloads OR automatically delete all non-video files after the download?

Any help much appreciated :)

1)
Use a "Media" root folder for all your stuff like in the examples. The amc script will always create TV Series / Movie folders because it expected you to pass a "Media" root folder.

2)
Not sure what you want. Have you had a look at the clean option? Keep in mind that you can't delete files while seeding said files.

Unsure as to what you mean by use a "Media" root folder? Can you advise please?

Also unsure what "clean option" you're referring to? Is this within FileBot or uTorrent or the script within uTorrent that refers to FileBot, or somewhere else, or?

Thank you

1)
You should pass --output Z:/Media so that amc will create Z:/Media/TV Shows.

2)
--def clean=y Automatically remove empty folders and clutter files that may be left behind after moving the video files or temporary extracted files after copying

Ok, so what does the amc script create by itself? Because this is what I get:
1.PNG
This is where the video file should go:
2.PNG
This is the code uTorrent runs on torrent finish:
filebot -script fn:amc --output "%D" --log-file amc.log --log-lock true --action move --conflict override -non-strict --def music=n artwork=n "seriesFormat={n} {S00E00}" "movieFormat={n} ({y})" "ut_dir=%D" "ut_file=%F" "ut_kind=%K" "ut_title=%N" "ut_label=%L" "ut_state=%S"


Also, for the cleaning option, my torrents automatically seed once completed but I'm happy to just mark them as stopped/finished when downloading is finished to allow me to run that clean up script - is this straight forward?

Thanks again :)

RTFM
The F***ing Manual wrote:You must not use your download folder %D (or any other folder inside) as --output folder
What I said:

Code: Select all

--output "Z:/Media"
What you did:

Code: Select all

--output "%D"
It goes without saying that your "Downloads" folder MUST NOT be equal to or inside your Media folder.

So if I pass: --output Z:/TV Shows & Movies it will automatically put the tv shows in the correct place:

Z:/TV Shows & Movies/TV Shows/*TV Show Here*/Season 1/S01E**.avi (here!) ????????????

.. and the same with movies?

Z:/TV Shows & Movies/Movies/*Movie Name Here*/*Movie Name Here.avi* (here!) ????????????

Or is it going to use a different structure?

Pretty sure that's what it says in the docs...

Thanks, didn't create the folder structure exactly like you said needed to add some extra in there but got it working pretty much exactly how I need/want bar one thing, the cleanup works good removing txt files and other junk but the newly created sub-folder itself that the torrent creates isn't removed, just left empty, how does one remove that folder too?

The amc script will never delete a folder that was passed as argument. You can use the separate cleaner script if you need more options.
