Create Folders and Move Files

[viking]

I am sorry if this is covered somewhere but I have not been able to find it.

I would like to monitor a folder and it's subfolders which contains downloaded movies (potentially with subtitles).
When a movie is downloaded, the script will create a subfolder named after the Movie+Year (e.g. Mymovie (2014)) at a different location and place the movie (with subtitles) in this subfolder.
No need to rename the movie.

Is there such a script? If it cannot monitor a folder, it would also be OK if the script could just be run on demand.

TIA!

You can use the amc script with custom formats. I recommend using native system tools (e.g. Automator on Mac or inotify-tools on Linux) for watching folders.

How does the script recognize the movie name and year? Does it pull it from the filename or from a hash lockup (and some movie database)?

[rednoah]

The amc script uses TheMovieDB so there will be no hash lookup.

But how does the script know what movie the downloaded file is?
For example, if I download a file that is called xyz.mkv how can the TheMovieDB know what movie that is?

If the file path doesn't make sense to a human, then it probably won't make sense to FileBot neither.
