FileBot

1. So I just plugged a bunch of individual episodes to download. I noticed that some were converted and moved and others were not. I used to have a similar problem with a script i wrote before I found filebot being called multiple times when several files finish close to the same time. Does Filebot have a similar issue or can it handle multiple instances?

2. Also I just downloaded Once Upon a Time S02E17 720p HDTV X264-DIMENSION and it was renamed to S01E17.

3. Is there a good way to be informed when files fail to get renamed? Issue 1 led to me having some gaps in my episodes. My ideal situation would be to have Filebot rename everything that it is sure of into my main TV Show folder, and unzip / move all unmatched files into a temp folder with original filenames so that I can review manually as I see fit.

4. What happens if my computer reboots midway through executing amc script on, say, a complete tv series of rarred / zipped files? I have my computer set to automatically restart early each morning and used to solve (1 and 4) by running my script once a day immediately after restart.

1. Nope, it'll run fine. The second will start a new cache though since it can't access the first one. If something wasn't working it isn't because of that. I'll need the console output of the process that failed to check into this.

2. So what is the issue? SxE matches. Or you mean S01E17.avi? In which case you wanna check your format.

3. You can add that to the script. Just check the rename history against the original input set.

4. Undefined. I'd guess there'd be files only partially extracted.

1. Got it, thanks... will let you know if it happens again.

2. The issue is I downloaded S02E17.mkv and it renamed it to S01E17.mkv. I noticed that the file was missing out of the Season 02 folder and went looking through the logs, noticed it renamed it to season 01 instead.

3. Hmmm... I need some time to play around with this, but that sounds great! (You make it sound so easy )

4. Maybe i'll need to find a better time to reboot when fewer files are downloading.

Thanks for this great program!

2. That's probably because S02E17 doesn't exist. Naturally the S02E17 episode will be preferred, but if that data doesn't exist it'll go for the most likely. Basically all filebot always does is go for the most likely match, but that always assumes that the database is complete and matches your files.

3. Once you got it working shouldn't be more than not-so-hard-to-understand 3-4 lines.

4. I don't really have a solution for that. Except some custom code that'll keep track of what needs to be done and what has been done. Like save all input to a text file on startup and set it done when processed, or not, in which case you can make it restart. Anyway, that's too much clutter for the amc.groovy script that i try to keep as simple as possible.
