Create file in the directory

General Support / Questions Metadata and Renaming

Hi,

Is it possible to create a file inside the same directory of the video file once MCEbuddy has renamed it?
The reason I ask is that I use Emby and I don’t want the conversions to be added to the library.

The way around this is to create a .ignore file within the folder.

Thanks in advance
Daniel

Try using PostCustomCommand and run a batch file there which creates the .ignore file.

Thank you.

I have added the custom command to my profile pointing to a very basic .bat file.
Next thing to work out is how to create this file in the directory that MCEbuddy is moving files to.

Any ideas on the best way to do this?

All that I have in the script is the following:

@echo off

echo .>> .ignore

See the same link, there are loads of custom variables you can use and pass to your batch file regarding converted file paths, names etc.
