setting auto extraction after qBitTorrent download completes on TWO different drives.

Hey there,
I've been using the below code which works great but now I have another drive "V:/Media" where I want to setup auto extraction as well when the torrent completes.
Code: Select all
filebot -script fn:amc --output "W:/Media" --action duplicate --conflict skip -non-strict --log-file amc.log --def excludeList=amc.excludes unsorted=y music=y artwork=y "ut_dir=%F" "ut_kind=multi" "ut_title=%N" "ut_label=%L"
How would I go about adding this additional drive in above script?
Thanks a lot in advance.

Just add extract=y under --def?

1.
The amc script will extract archives by default.
The --def skipExtract=y allows you to turn off auto-extraction.
2.
Your OP is very vague and ambiguous. Extraction of compressed archives? To different drives? Are you saying that you want to mirror your W drive to your new V drive?
3.
You cannot have multiple output folders. You can use other tools like rsync or robocopy to sync files from one folder to another though.

thanks for the replies guys and apologies for being unclear.
The script I pasted above in OP works fine for extracting completed torrents in and to W:/Media.
I wish to now add this option for any new completed torrents in V:/Media as well. So any new torrent that is added in either W:/Media or V:/Media is extracted to their respective drives.

utorrent will pass the input files to filebot regardless of where you download them, but FileBot will copy them into you
--output folder. If you want different destination paths
(e.g. drives) for different files, then you must pass in your own formats.
You will find a simple example for this exact use case here:

I wasn't able to get this to work actually @rednoah.
I have a tv shows and a movies folder but the below script fails for it.
in Qbit Torrent -> options -> downloads area I have this script which doesn't do anyting
Code: Select all
filebot -script fn:amc --output "V:\Movies" --action duplicate --conflict skip -non-strict --log-file amc.log --def excludeList=amc.excludes unsorted=y music=y artwork=y "ut_dir=%F" "ut_kind=multi" "ut_title=%N" "ut_label=%L";filebot -script fn:amc --output "V:\Shows" --action duplicate --conflict skip -non-strict --log-file amc.log --def excludeList=amc.excludes unsorted=y music=y artwork=y "ut_dir=%F" "ut_kind=multi" "ut_title=%N" "ut_label=%L"

Are there any logs? Most likely, your command is broken and FileBot is never called. I'd try a simple cmd script and call that just to make sure your script are actually called.
Calling FileBot twice like this doesn't make any sense to me and qBT probably doesn't support that anyway. What are you trying to achieve?
If you're trying to separate movies and tv shows into separate folders, then this is NOT what you're doing. Your command will merely process files twice into both folders. So you'll end up with the same movies and tv shows in both output folders.

Hey @rednoah,
My goal is to have the downloads in V:\Movies extract to V:\Movies
e.g. V:\Movies\SomeMovieA\movie.rar to V:\Movies\SomeMovieA\Movie.mp4
and similarly
V:\Shows\SomeShowX\show.rar to V:\Shows\SomeShowX\show.mp4
Can you please tell me what command I need to try?
I know the commands itself are executed from qBittorrent as this used to work for me in another directory where I had a different file structure. Filebot used to unrar files upon torrent completion back then.
Thank you.

Isn't that default behaviour? What have you tried? What does the log say?
