I'm getting this error when running the below command and I can't make sense out of it. What am I doing wrong?

Do:
Code: Select all
--output '/volume1/media/.remote/Media Server/Media'
Don't forget about using
--def excludeList when running things in an automated setup.

That worked but I don't understand why?
Yes my automated setup uses the excludelist. This is just a one time run to rename all current media to my new naming scheme and to create .strm files for use in kodi.
Thanks!

1.
.../TV Showsnew starts with
.../TV Shows and the sanity check
(incorrectly) hits this corner case.
2.
If you know that you're dealing with TV Shows, then adding
--def ut_label=Series is considered best practice.
3.
Your
--def exec could be a lot more concise if you were to use the destination file path binding
{f} instead of recreating your format twice.
e.g. take the last 3 components of the destination path:

1. Ahh Ok, That makes sense now.
2. Ok I will change it though ut_label=tv seems to be working as expected. Also I would like to note that ut_label=tv came from the command filebot-node for my synology generated.
3. Cool! I will be implementing that.

2.
The series|tv|tv.show|etc is all the same. The amc scripts tries to pick up all the labels that are commonly used by auto-downloaders.
