Hello.

I have three rules in sweeper but something is not working.

Basically the first is series filer, then I what to move all single recordings to /New, and then move all series that haven't been filed to /New.
Heres my raw text setup.
Can anyone see why its not moving series recordings that are not filed to /New/New ??

# Emulate Seriesfiler
folder series "" action {fileunder ""}
# File Every single recording
age {<= 3} action {movecreate {/media/My Video/New/New}}
# File every series recording
folder series "" age {<= 3} action {movecreate {/media/My Video/New/New}}

Thanks for any advise.
Hope you're all have a good weekend planned.

So I thought I'd wait 3 hours before filing away... always get greater and lesser than confused.
But even if I delete this condition still will not file away series recordings.
 
Yes, but your quoted code does not match the log. Was your code modified before or after the logged run?

Was it your expectation that both Great British Railway Journeys and Abigail's Party would be moved?

Personally, I don't bother with sweeper much and just use flatview.
 
I was expecting both to be moved.
Yes I use Flatview but still want to file recordings.
Sorry not sure which way around so here again my text and the response.

Perhaps you can explain what steps you expect the processing to take? Take a look at the GUI representation, and post a snapshot of it. Note there is also a debug mode in the GUI.

Something to be aware of is that the processing of rules is per target entity found, and later rules are only processed if all previous rules have failed their condition.
 
Thanks again.

So I'd like
1. series filer,
2. then I what to move all single recordings to /media/My Video/New/New,
3. and then move all series that haven't been filed to /media/My Video//New/New.

So, for instance, I expect it to move "/media/My Video/The Story of Welsh Art/The Story of Welsh Art_20220601_2000.ts" to "/media/My Video/New/New/The Story of Welsh Art/"
but its not.

"debug mode" ? do you mean the 'test config'. This seems to be the same as running it but with out any action.

Go through the steps. What appears to be happening is it looks for a suitable target folder and finds none. Is there one? Having not found one, processing stops for that entity. It won't go on to the third rule where a folder will be created.
 
Ok thanks.
No there are no series folders for it to add the recordings to so it needs to move and create a folder under /New/New.

So its only processing the first rule.
Is there a way to get it to move through the rules.
Am missing something...

You need the rules in the opposite order, and you can consider folder rules separate from recording rules. The catch-all type rules (which match everything) should come last. In fact, do you need the first rule at all (I'm not sure exactly what the difference is between "merge" and "move")?
 
Thanks

So I think I've got it.
I have had this working before but lost the code. I will make sure I remember this, this time.
The time condition is to allow it to file series's with folders already created, first. Then file the ones without a folders into /new,
even though the 'file all' rule comes first. Bit confusing but I think I've got it working... Time will tell as I hope it doesn't just create folders for series's with folders already somewhere else.

# File Every single recording
age {>= 3} action {movecreate {/media/My Video/New/New}}
# File every series recording
folder series "" age {>= 3} action {movecreate {/media/My Video/New/New}}
# Emulate Seriesfiler
folder series "" action {fileunder ""}


Thank you so much for your support

Last time you were asking about this you said that you had changed the timings of my 'new series filing' rule to '24 hours old' (from 10 hours old), to prevent it filing recordings that you want 'seriesfiler' to move. Do you now keep your Humax on all the time?

Based on your 2017 posts it looks as though your first working version was:
# File Every single recording
age {>= 6} action {move {/media/My Video/New/Programs and Mini Series}}
# File every series recording
folder series "" age {>= 24} action {fileundercreate {/media/My Video/New/Programs and Mini Series}}
# Emulate Seriesfiler
folder series "" action {fileunder ""}

You probably don't need the age on the single recording rule, but you did have that previously as well.
 
Well that's a little embarrassing. Sorry. It was five years ago.

Thank you so very much....again

You've gone back to movecreate instead of fileundercreate. Does that work? If so, what's the point of fileundercreate? You had the latter in 2017 (according to Luke).

Yes I needed Fileundercreate.

With movecreate it put them into the \New folder but not in subfolders. With Fileundercreate it filled them under /New with subfolders for each series.

Sorry I miss your question last week.
