FileBot

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)?

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.
