• --if-file-exists:[SKIP|OVERWRITE]
  [INDENT]What to do if a file already exists in the destination
  If not specified, SKIP[/INDENT]
• --flatten-non-eps:[TRUE|FALSE]
  [INDENT]Should non-episode files loose their directory structure?
  This option only has an effect if a non-episode directory was specified.
  If set to TRUE, they will be renamed after directory they were in.
  Otherwise they keep their directory structure in the new non-episode-directory location.
  If not specified, FALSE[/INDENT]
• More pattern matching. For example:
  [INDENT]"Show/Season 1/1 blah blah.avi"
  "Show Season 1/101 Ep title.avi"
  "Show/Season 1/1x1.avi"
  "Show Series 1 Episode 1.avi" etc[/INDENT]
• Various fixes, including ignoring special characters in directory names.
  

• The specific example, "the.​vampire.​diaries.​s02e07.​720p.​hdtv.​x264-ctu.​mkv", for some reason is not detected correctly... manually typing the same filename seems to not have the problem though... Patches welcome...

I'm using sorttv, which does much of what I like. However, sometimes the torrents I download have square braces in the directory (i.e. [ and ]). sorttv doesn't like that very much, and just completely skips those directories when doing the sort.

For example,torrents distributed by Torrent Day always come in this type of format:

Running sorttv on that, sorttv will just skip right over it.

slybas Wrote:I like the tool very much although I am only using it for the initial sorting of my torrent downloads into movie or tv dirs. After that Sickbeard or Couchpotato will finish the job. Sorttv checks the download folder and everything that is recognized as tv series is moved to the tv dir the rest by default to movies. And here comes my question is it possible to add a positive movie recognision? There is no need for a very fancy renaming but it would be nice if you could actively sort movies. (And to make it complete jpg and mp3 sorting).

I have got a slight problem with this option:

PHP Code:

# OPTIONAL - where to put things that are not episodes
# If this is supplied then files and directories that SortTV does not believe are episodes will be moved here
# If not specified, non-episodes are not moved
non-episode-dir:/home/cliffe/Files/Downloads/Non-episodes 


The Dirs and files which are none episodes get moved to (in my case movie) but it strips them of the directory structure. This is a problem for movies with subtitles etc.

nicx76 Wrote:hi,

is it possible to integrate another sort-by feature "move-or-delete" or something? i just want the file to be deleted if it already exist in the destination and not to be silently skipped.

thanks!
nicx...

1. SortTV seems to ignore file types and copies any file that fits a pattern. This is bad for me because I have uTorrent (on Windows 7) configured to use multiple destination directories for different things. I tried using a root directory as the SortTV source (e.g. c:\downloads) but SortTV copies .torrent files as well as .ut! (incomplete torrent file) and anything else it finds. I don't think there is a way to specify multiple source directories without running the script multiple times. My only other choice is to reconfigure my uTorrent configuration which I don't really feel like doing. SortTV really should not be attempting to copy files which aren't videos or subtitles, for my purposes.

CoinTos Wrote:Text::Capitalize is no longer needed for the script, it was removed as it won't build in windows.

run: cpan File::Copy::Recursive File::Glob LWP::Simple TVDB::API

and it should install everything you need without error.

Quote:"1. Separate complete from incomplete files
Just for the sake of clarity. All my active downloads will go to /downloads/incomplete, once they are finished, uTorrent will automatically move them to the /downloads directory.

Go to options/preferences/downloads to enable it"

TravellingGuy Wrote:Hey crocoduck. Yes, and this is a bit of niggler for me at the moment as well. I'm working on a patch that will make sorttv only sort video files (specifically .mkv or .avi). I'll post here when I get it patched/working, and cliffe can patch it into his source if he so desires (or make it better, as my code will be pretty hacky!)

crocoduck Wrote:2. TheTvDb still isn't working for me on Windows. Perhaps that's a good thing if it significantly increases run time. XBMC downloads that info anyway (python api code must be fine, unlike the perl version) but it would be ideal to rename the episodes with the title. Perhaps porting the script to an XBMC plugin would be optimal (for XBMC users anyway).

e2zippo Wrote:yeah, i figured as much as well, thought maybe someone had a generell idea what was going on. gonna try and reinstall, see what happens, thanks!

edit: tried uninstall and reinstalled to another folder, didn't work, still looking for dmake.exe in c:\strawberry\

copied the strawberry folder from d:\ drive to c:\ and it found dmake.exe but I still got a lot of errors.
