Looking for help on how to exclude a series from a potential match; I referenced the FAQ and Tips & Tricks, but unable to get it to work correctly.

Here is my command:

Code: Select all

#For Reference: --filter "!readLines('''/path/to/excludes.txt''').contains(n)"

filebot -script fn:amc --output "/volume1/Media" --action move --conflict auto "/volume1/Media/_new" --log-file _scripts/amcLog.txt --filter "!readLines('''/volume1/Media/_scripts/excludeSeries.txt''').contains(n)" --def excludeList=_scripts/amc_exclude.txt "ut_label=TV" >> /volume1/Media/_scripts/filebot_debug.txt 2>&1

Here's the saved log:

Code: Select all

Locking /volume1/@appstore/filebot/data/admin/logs/_scripts/amcLog.txt
Run script [fn:amc] at [Tue Sep 20 15:57:27 EDT 2016]
Parameter: excludeList = _scripts/amc_exclude.txt
Parameter: unsorted = n
Parameter: music = n
Parameter: artwork = y
Parameter: skipExtract = y
Parameter: clean = y

Group: [tvs:gotham] => [Gotham.S03E01.720p.HDTV.X264-DIMENSION.mkv]
Rename episodes using [TheTVDB]
Auto-detected query: [Gotham]
Multiple options: Force auto-select requires non-strict matching: [Gotham, Gotham Girls, Gotham Comedy Live, Live at Gotham, The New Batman Adventures]
Clean clutter files and empty folders
Finished without processing any files
Failure (Â°_Â°)

My excludeSeries.txt contains the following:

Code: Select all

Gotham Girls
Gotham Comedy Live
Live at Gotham
The New Batman Adventures

Ultimately I'd like to use the following filter

Code: Select all

--filter "!readLines('''/path/to/excludes.txt''').contains(n) && (age < 7 || !model.any{ it.age < 7 })"

Thanks,
JC

Code: Select all

Force auto-select requires non-strict matching

You'll need to use the -non-strict option.

The --filter option is pretty useless in strict mode since the filter is applied per episode and allows you to force pretty much arbitrary file/episode matches that strict mode would veto.

I figured that was going to be the response; I've just had bad luck with "-non-strict" in the past. I'll give it a whirl and set stronger filters to avoid a mismatch,

Thanks,

...although wouldn't applying the filter give a smaller selection to try and "strict" match?

--filter works on the per episode level. Strict mode aborts before your episode filter is applied because it can't figure out which episode list for which series it should be fetching (and in strict mode there can only be one to avoid series mismatch issues).

You're asking for a per series level kind-of-filter that is integrated with strict mode but unfortunately that is not supported.

Got it...thanks for the explanation.
