FileBot

Hello all,

First of all apologies for the question but I failed to find the approach/information I think I need to use filebot successfully.

Basic Info:

Filebot is running on a Seagate GoFlex running ARM Archlinux - so all operations are command based.
I use pyLoad to download all my movie/tv show - it also handle the unpacking of the files.
My medias are then managed by Kodi through a central Mariadb database.

I want to use filebot to replace tvnamer that is going to become obsolete due to thetvdb change of api.

The operations need:

All files are downloaded to /mnt/hd/Download/ and I want to manually call a bash script to run filebot to detect the movie or tv show.

In case of a movie, filebot should then rename it to "name of the movie (date)" then create a folder in /mnt/hd/Movie/name\ of\ the\ movie\ \(year\)/ then move the newly created file there.

Same principle for a tv show apart, renaming the tv show according to thetvdb, then moving it to /mnt/hd/Show/name\ of\ the\ show/name\ of\ the\ show\ -\ 00x00\ -\ name\ of\ the\ episode\.mkv
(not creating seperate folder per season)

Key point - filebot must remove/replace all character from the file name that trouble the server to read, i.e. "&" "?" etc.

Trouble is that I cannot find a clear topic that will guide me to create such a script.

Your help and time reading this nooby topic are greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

You'll want to use the amc script and pass in custom formats (i.e. destination path template).

thank you for your reply, indeed it seems like the right beginning for my needs.

But I cannot figure out where to get the script from?

Please follow the Run from cmdline instructions. You just need the filebot command. You don't need to get any script from anywhere.
