Tools and other software FileBot - The ultimate TV Renamer and Subtitle Downloader (1 Viewer)

FileBot only runs on Java.

Like I said, you can edit the script to only do what you want. But there is no cmdline option for that if that's what you mean. You can skip UI confirmations by adding -non-strict.

If I was to edit the script how would I use the custom script with filebot?
eg. where to save / how to invoke?

Wrote some docs for you that'll answer all your questions:

Thanks will update my script now.[DOUBLEPOST=1351949131][/DOUBLEPOST]btw - I'm pretty sure all the fanart images on thetvdb are jpg, but in your example usage you wrote png

Is it possible to download the landscape.jpg image

I tried substituting
fetchSeriesBanner(_args.output, tvshows[0], 'fanart', null, null, null)
with
fetchSeriesBanner(_args.output, tvshows[0], 'landscape', null, null, null)

and fetchSeriesBanner(_args.output, tvshows[0], 'tvthumb', null, null, null)

I went through lib.htpc but hit a brick wall

ok the following seem to work
fetchSeriesFanart(_args.output, tvshows[0], 'tvthumb', null, null)

Thank you so much

From TheTVDB:
BannerType
This can be poster, fanart, series or season.

Actually you can get artwork from FanartTV as well, check the fetchSeriesFanart() function.

Yup I've got it pretty much sorted.

When I ran filebot from the command line I didn't get any feedback as to whether it had found the tvseries, or the tvseries didn't exist, or if thetvdb was unavailable etc, so I just did a timeout for 8 seconds, and if the file wasn't downloaded after 8 seconds, then I make the assumption that the image is not available for that particular show.

The script never blocks, if the cmd doesn't terminate it's running and doing something, if something is wrong you'll get errror logging. If your internet is slow it could easily take sometime to refresh it's local search index. Also don't kill / Ctrl-C it while filebot is running, otherwise it'll have to refresh it's caches. So the first time around (or after you killed it) it can take a bit to run that script, the second time will be instant.

 

[kiwijunglist]

Normally I can do something like this

call "C:\FileBot\FileBot.exe" filebot -script "C:\FileBot\grab-fanart.groovy" --q "%ShowName%" --output "C:\Temp\%ShowName%-fanart.jpg"
if exist "C:\Temp\%ShowName%-fanart.jpg" (
   echo success
   ) else (
   echo failure
   )

However this will never work because it seems like filebot.exe launches another process to find the fanart then completes striaght away, so the script moves on to the next command before the fanart is downloaded.

I don't know what you're trying to do with ??? "C:\FileBot\FileBot.exe" filebot ???

If you have installed it the cmd 'filebot' will automatically resolve to filebot.cmd. You're using portable? Didn't add a .cmd launcher script to that package.

Added a filebot.cmd launcher with configs for portable:
