Hi
after years away from filebot finally have time to come back to filebot and play around (kids have grown
).
im using this command with latest filebot on arch linux (FileBot 4.7.7 (r4678) / OpenJDK Runtime Environment 1.8.0_121 / Linux 4.9.8-1-ARCH (amd64) )
Code: Select all
xterm -e filebot -script fn:amc --output "." --def @/home/zeltak/.config/filebot/here.txt --action move --conflict skip -non-strict --log-file ~/ZH_tmp/amc.log --mode interactive *
with this def file
Code: Select all
movieFormat={n}/{n.colon(' - ')} ({y}){' CD'+pi}{subt}
seriesFormat={n}/Season {s.pad(2)}/{s00e00} - {t}
deleteAfterExtract=y
clean=y
artwork=y
this works well and deletes all in folder junk files yet it always leaves the folder there alongside the new renamed folder.
any clue what im missing here?

Can I have the full log please?
Note that the amc script will not delete the input root folder(s) you pass in (e.g. if you pass in $HOME/Downloads as input folder then it will never delete $HOME/Downloads).

Hi @rednoah
i see, yeah thats the issue i guess as i pass it a bunch of folders from my file browser where each movie folder is passed separately. is there anyway to override this?

Input/Output should be clearly separated anyway, so you can do this:
Code: Select all
filebot -script fn:amc /volume/data/input --output /volume/data/output ...
Where /input is the folder that contains your * folders, and /output is just some output folder elsewhere.
Taipei for the last 5-ish years. Time flies!

Yeah, despite my best efforts, I can't get this to work. I know, this is, like, an 8 year bump, but I can't get this to work when running straight out of the command line.
Code: Select all
filebot -script "D:/Movies" -script fn:cleaner
doesn't want to work, neither does
Code: Select all
filebot -script fn:amc "D:/Movies" -script fn:cleaner
, and whatever other variations I can think of. So that's frustrating.
I've tried defining a short list of files to clean up, .idx, .srt, and the like, but alas!
Any ideas?

Those commands don't make sense. You can't call 2 different scripts at the same time.
1.
If you want to call the cleaner script, then you'd do it like so:
viewtopic.php?f=4&t=5#p1341
e.g.
Code: Select all
filebot -script fn:cleaner /path/to/media/
2.
If you want to call the amc script, then it's best to read the manual first:
viewtopic.php?f=4&t=215
e.g.
Code: Select all
filebot -script fn:amc --output "/path/to/output" --action copy -non-strict "/path/to/input" --log-file amc.log --def excludeList=amc.txt
If you want to enable amc script clean-up logic, then you can add that option to the amc script call:

Yeah, I figured as much about, these were just the last few commands I had tried after I couldn't figure anything else out.
I have tried the cleaner script (in many Command Prompt windows ago) but all I could get out of that was
After that, I think I read somewhere that the cleaner script does not delete files by default, so I tried defining it further, but I can't find where the --def exts patterns, but I found some examples with arguments like "idx|nfo|txt" but I couldn't get that to work either.
I love working through Terminal (or the equivalents thereof), but it is very frustrating knowing that of all the things I have tried, the answer was most likely a character or two away... somewhere. What the hell am I missing?
