FileBot

Good Evening Everyone,

I'm trying to have FileBot create movie genre directories via the CMI. I'm currently using the following commands in my script:

:ReNames All Files
filebot -script fn:renall "C:\Users\USERNAME\Videos" -non-strict

:ReNames Movie Folders
filebot -script fn:renall "C:\Users\USERNAME\Videos\Movies" -non-strict --db TheMovieDB --def target=folder

I'd like to add a parameter to this, to sort all renamed files/folders into genres of each movie as per what TheMovieDB or IMDB as listed.

In the end I'd like my movie directory to look something like this:

C:\Users\USERNAME\Videos\Action
C:\Users\USERNAME\Videos\Adventure
C:\Users\USERNAME\Videos\Fantacy
C:\Users\USERNAME\Videos\Drama

I found the following post "see below" on how to do this via the GUI, but do not know how to implement this into my script.

Any help would be appreciated.

Also if possible, does anyone know how I could add something to the "ReNames All Files portion" to have the movie titles include the movie rating?

Thank You

You're doing something really strange. Calling renall twice like this is a bad idea and just shows that you don't understand how the --format works. You'll want to understand how filebot formats work if you want to move/organize files.

Look into the amc script, and pass in a custom format if you want a genre folder or ratings as part of the output path:
viewtopic.php?f=4&t=215

So far, what I've have is:

filebot -script fn:renall "C:/Users/USERNAME/Videos/Movies" -non-strict --db TheMovieDB --def target=folder --def "movieFormat=C:/Users/USERNAME/Videos/Movies/{genres[0]}/{n} ({y})" --conflict override

I've already renamed the movie files and folders. Now I'm just trying to sort the movie folders into genre folders; created via Filebot.

Use the amc script move all files into a new structure.

* Do not use the renall script (you're using it wrong, and you're confusing it with the amc script)
* Do not process files in place (i.e. input & output folders must not be the same, rename "Movies" to "Movies 2" so you can auto-create the "Movies" folder structure with genres)

e.g.

Awesome. That worked exactly how I wanted it too. With the exception of the artwork which I switched to N. Is there a way to disable the "extras" that are downloaded?

there a way to disable the "extras" that are downloaded?

What extras? --def artwork=y tells it to fetch/generate extra artwork/nfo files.

It's been downloading "Featurettes." Like behind the scenes video files.

No it doesn't. Do the logs say that it does?

It most certainly has been. Only for the movies, using the script/command I listed above. The CLI script takes a few minutes to complete because it's downloading the extras.

Show me those logs.

PS: FileBot most certainly does not download any video content.

Got it all figured out. Thanks.
