Disclaimer: I'm not a developer or programmer by trade. A friend was complaining about a limitation and I saw an opportunity to fill the void. It also gave me the opportunity to address a couple of issues I had with the post-processing script I had been using. What I developed seemed somewhat useful, so I thought I would share it with this community. I welcome your feedback and suggestions, but please understand that this is barely a beta release. As such, I'm looking for bug reports.
What It Does:
- You download a file named 'Movie Title 2012 1080p AVCHD AC3 x264 DVD5'.
- After the extraction Sab does automatically, you're left with a folder named 'Movie Title 2012 1080p AVCHD AC3 x264 DVD5'. Inside that folder you'll typically have a number of files - most of which you do not need or want.
- YoVanilla creates a folder named 'Movie Title (2012)' in a directory of your choosing. This is usually the final directory where you store your media. Example: D:\Media\Movies\Movie Title (2012)
- If you specify file types to keep, it will rename and move those files into the newly created folder from step 3.
- If you specified file types to delete, it will delete those files.
- If your download is a split (2-part) AVI file, it will join/combine the split files into a single AVI. (Requires mencoder.exe to be saved in the scripts folder.)
- The movie file will be ranamed and moved. Example: 'Movie Title 2012 1080p AVCHD AC3 x264 DVD5.mkv' will be saved as 'D:\Media\Movies\Movie Title (2012)\Movie Title (2012).mkv'
- The download directory is cleaned up and removed.
Please read the included README file for detailed instructions.
Quick Summary: Extract to your scripts folder.
Configuration:
Please read the included README file for detailed instructions.
Quick Summary: Edit the included INI file and set up your categories in Sab to use the script.
Known Issues:
- If you're using Windows 10 and trying to have your files moved to a network drive, you may find that the files don't get moved properly. Here is the current workaround for that issue:
Locate the YoVanilla.exe file in your scripts directory, right-click on it, choose Properties, go to Compatibility tab, check the box that says "Run this program as an administrator". You could also enable the option to "Run this program in compatibility mode for: Windows 7
You can also disable UAC in Windows 10, though this is a less secure method of running your OS. - I haven't found an automated way to combine split subtitle files. There are websites and software apps that can do it for you. This is really only an issue for joined AVI files.
- Episode management hasn't been implemented yet. This is being planned for a future release.
Please attach a logfile if possible.
