A note to the weary tweaker

Post by trax72 »

And by "tweaker" I mean person who likes to tweak stuff, not methhead... :P

It took me the better part of an hour to figure out what's wrong with my settings and only by trial-and-error I managed to fix this, so I thought I might share.

I like to tweak things so I did, but it wasn't working and I couldn't figure out if the problem was with the command syntax or because uTorrent run-after-complete was broken or because Filebot was broken or because I drank too much last night...

It turns out that the (latest) version of uTorrent that I'm was running (3.4.5, build 41202, 32-bit on Windows 10) does not produce logs (at all). Not in the desktop application and not in the "Logger" tab in the web UI. Nothing. Zilch.

Eventually I managed to figure out that because I didn't want cmd to steal the focus, I changed "filebot" to "filebot-launcher" (as @rednoah mentions here: http://www.filebot.net/forums/viewtopic ... =215#p2024), but it turns out that it failed because I used "filebot-launcher". Changing it to "filebot-launcher.exe" fixed it (not sure why... both "filebot" and "filebot.exe" worked just fine).

There was a bunch of other stuff broken in my command line, but that was easy to figure out from the Filebot logs in `C:\Users\<Name>\AppData\Roaming\FileBot\logs\` after uTorrent was actually running the command.

Hope this helps.

P.S.

The command I was eventually running was:

Code: Select all

filebot.launcher.exe -script fn:amc --output "D:/Videos" --log-file amc.log --action move --conflict override -non-strict --def clean=y "seriesFormat=TV Shows/{n}/{'Season '+s}/{n} - {s00e00} - {t}" "movieFormat=Movies/{n} ({y})/{n} ({y}){' CD'+pi}" xbmc=10.0.0.2 deleteAfterExtract=y "subtitles=en,he" artwork=y "ut_label=%L" "ut_state=%S" "ut_title=%N" "ut_kind=%K" "ut_file=%F" "ut_dir=%D"
