FileBot + Belvedere

Hey guys. I'm completely new to this, but I'm trying to set up a bit of automation for a media server. I am already downloading all media to a folder titled "TV Shows". From there I have a utility called Belvedere (Mac users may be familiar with Hazel, this accomplishes basically the same thing) which cleans up any junk (JPGs, NFOs, etc.). In FileBot, I have a preset to look at that folder and rename files accordingly. And then once again, Belvedere sorts the files in their proper folder in Plex.

The issue I have is I can't seem to figure out how to automate Filebot running that preset. I can set Belvedere to run a file, but trying to launch just to FileBot.exe obviously doesn't work. Any ideas?

You need to use the filebot command-line tool. You won't be able to just call a GUI preset though. GUI and CLI do not share any settings or preferences.

You can use FileBot to move/rename files into a new folder structure all at once. See FAQ.
