Filebot

Available on Windows

File is a program that fetches metadata and renames files

It can be tied to torrent programs so that it runs automatically

It can also be used from the command line

Installing the AMC Script

The AMC script is a script that automatically fetches the metadata for a file. It renames it and then moves to another directory, in my case a folder on my Plex server. The Filebot AMC script gets called everytime a torrent finishes downloading if you use this script:

Options > Preferences > Advanced > Run Program - then paste this:

filebot -script fn:amc --output "P:/Downloads" --action copy --conflict skip -non-strict --log-file amc.log --def unsorted=y music=y artwork=y "ut_label=%L" "ut_state=%S" "ut_title=%N" "ut_kind=%K" "ut_file=%F" "ut_dir=%D" --def plex=Enter_Your_WAN_IP_Address_Here:wF59CKswqhDLp7pUARhp --def minFileSize=50

Downloading Artwork For Movies

To copy movies from one folder to another and dowload the artwork use the AMC script with these settings:

filebot -script fn:amc X:\Downloads\Movies --output "W:\Movies" --action duplicate --conflict skip -non-strict --log-file amc.log --def unsorted=y music=y artwork=y "ut_label=%L" "ut_state=%S" "ut_title=%N" "ut_kind=%K" "ut_file=%F" "ut_dir=%D"

X:\Downloads\Movies
