I don't know if I can trust the strict rename function. I found a movie renamed to a completely different movie that had zero words in common with the real name. I think I had strict mode on. I'm not completely sure anymore how this could've happen or if it was even caused by my script but paranoid as I am I have since tried to use batch scripting to make damn sure this doesn't happen, which is ridiculous since in batch I can't know what the file was renamed to.

btw the code uses %name% and %year% variables that are extrapolations from the original filename

Code: Select all

c:\progra~1\filebot\filebot -rename %1 --q "%name% %year%" --db TheMovieDb --format "{n} ({y}) {director} {genres} r{rating} {vf} {vc} {ac} {imdbid}"
if not exist %1 if exist "%name% (%year%)*tt???????.*" echo renamed "%~n1" accurately! && exit /b

:: if suspicious revert by narrow search
for %%r in ("*%name%*") do c:\progra~1\filebot\filebot -script fn:revert --action move "%%i"
if exist %1 echo rename failed for "%~n1" && exit /b

:: renamed to something totally different, revert all in folder just in case
for %%r in (*) do c:\progra~1\filebot\filebot -script fn:revert --action move "%%i"

Is this crazy? Is the strict mode supposed to be completely impervious for renaming errors? Is there a filebot script that would allow me to use the renamed (output) filename as a variable to make my paranoid script simpler and more accurate? Any comments or suggestions much appreciated!

Unfortunately, your cmd script doesn't give me any useful information.

Here's what a good issue report would look like:

Code: Select all

$ filebot -rename --db TheMovieDB Logan.mkv
Rename movies using [TheMovieDB]
Auto-detect movie from context: [Logan.mkv]
[MOVE] from [Logan.mkv] to [Logan (2017).mkv]
Processed 1 files

It contains:
* A reproducible command
* The output of the command
* No verbal description of any kind, though you can always add one if you feel like typing

I don't have the log, I found out about this probably days later. It was something crazy.. I think a Bourne movie was renamed to a Turtles movie. Please is there any way to rename so I could get the resulting filename as a variable? That would make verifying super easy.

Unfortunately, without logs there's nothing I can do. Please report back with logs next time it happens.
