Command-line reference

The web interface is how you use EvoSeedboxBot on a seedbox. The same engine also has a command line — used by the app itself and useful for anyone who knew FileBot’s, because the flags are the same. It runs inside the app’s container and is documented here for reference and for the upcoming desktop build.

Commands

evoseedboxbot -rename <paths…> [--db TVmaze|TheMovieDB|TheMovieDB::TV|AniDB|OMDb]
    [--format "{n} - {s00e00} - {t}"] [--action test|hardlink|copy|move|symlink|keeplink|reflink|duplicate]
    [--conflict skip|override|auto|index|fail] [--q "Forced name"] [--order Airdate|Absolute|DVD]
    [--lang en] [--output DIR] [-non-strict] [-r]
evoseedboxbot -organise <paths…> [--action hardlink] [--output DIR] [--def key=value …]
evoseedboxbot -get-subtitles <paths…> --lang en,de [--action test]
evoseedboxbot -check <files or folder> [--output name.sfv]
evoseedboxbot -extract <paths…> [--output DIR]
evoseedboxbot -revert <renamed files…>
evoseedboxbot -list --q "Series name" [--db TVmaze]
evoseedboxbot -mediainfo <files…>

Notes

• --action test is the default: it prints what would happen and changes nothing.
• -r descends into folders you pass; without it only files directly inside are taken.
• -organise --def accepts FileBot’s amc parameter names: excludeList, seriesFormat, movieFormat, animeFormat, minFileSize, minLengthMS, skipExtract, unsorted, clean, ut_label and the rest.
• Output paths in a format may be absolute; relative ones go under --output or next to the file.

Note: there is no Groovy scripting. Automation is the auto-organise job, the after each file command, and the HTTP API the web interface uses.
