FileBot

hi,

just looking at if filebot can replace what i currently use.

this is currently what i'm running in a windows cli (Server 2012 R2)

filebot -rename "Z:\tv-rename\" -r --db TheTVDB -non-strict --output "Z:\tv-done\" --format "{n} {s00e00} {t}"

but i'm receiving the following error which is causing it to fail

Failed to read xattr: Illegal char <"> at index 12: Z:\tv-rename" -r --db TheTVDB -non-strict --action move --output Z:\tv-done"

i added the log-file option and this is what it outputed:

Failed to process group: {} => [Z:\tv-rename" -r --db TheTVDB -non-strict --output Z:\tv-done"]



Any ideas? just want to move files after they have been renamed?

1.
"move" and "rename" are the same operation. Nevermind. The topic title has nothing to do with the issue at hand anyway.


2.
Your command-line is bad. Use / instead of \ if you don't know what \" does to CMD argument parsing.

@see viewtopic.php?f=4&t=1899

thanks for that. its started working as expected

another question.

if i have non-strict removed is there a way for it to skip a rename that has multiple entries and carry on to the next one and not stop altogether?

That's what strict mode does. You might want to consider making a filebot call for each folder or file so you can deal with errors individually.

If you're looking for something more powerful than simple -rename calls then I recommend looking into the amc script.


EDIT:

Use the amc script and force series mode via the label parameter. That'll give you a lot of options later on should you need any of the extras like artwork, notifications, etc.
