Anything is possible
About
FileBot makes scripting and automation as easy as it gets. Just script everything in Groovy instead of bothering with cumbersome cmd and bash scripts. It's the same on all platforms and much more powerful. The provided functions are the same as in the CLI and parameter usage is also exactly the same.
Examples
Running Scripts
filebot -script "path/to/script.groovy" args...
Execute a given Groovy script. Parameters defined on the cmdline when starting a script will serve as default parameters
while running that script.
