Run bash script

[ionutt 0]

Hi I need to run a bash script right after subtitle download.

 

This is the script I need to run:

#!/bin/bash
ORIGINAL="$1"
ISO=iso-8859-1
UTF=utf-8
ICONV="iconv -f $ISO -t $UTF"
CHECK=`file "${ORIGINAL}" | grep -i iso-8859`
	if [ "$CHECK" = "" ]; then
		exit 1;
	else
		FILENAME="${ORIGINAL/.rum/}"
		FILENAME="${FILENAME/.srt/}.romanian.srt"
		$ICONV < $ORIGINAL > "$FILENAME"
		sed -i 's:þ:ț:g' "$FILENAME"
		sed -i 's:º:ș:g' "$FILENAME"
		sed -i 's:ª:Ș:g' "$FILENAME"
		sed -i 's:Þ:Ț:g' "$FILENAME"
		mv $ORIGINAL $ORIGINAL".bak"
	fi

I need to run this script as:

./path/to/convert.sh /path/to/subtitle.srt

The script checks the encoding and replace some characters.

 

Thank you for your help.

Hi, there's currently no setting for this. I suppose if you have a way of monitoring for new files you could run it on that type of event.

I can use inotifywait, but I was thinking if the bash script can be called from emby server.

It's a possibility for the future.

This is my solution for file conversion to UTF-8 and accented character replacement in subtitle files.
I run my ubuntu 16.04 server under user: "emby".
Replace "emby" with your username where you see it.

First install inotify-tools.

sudo apt-get install inotify-tools

Then we create subtitle.sh script in /home/emby

nano /home/emby/subtitle.sh

and paste inside subtitle.sh the following code

#!/bin/bash
ISO=iso-8859-1
UTF=utf-8
ICONV="iconv -f $ISO -t $UTF"
movies="/home/emby/movies"
series="/home/emby/series"
inotifywait -r -m $movies $series -e create -e moved_to |
	while read path action file; do
		if [[ "$file" == *.srt ]] && [[ ! `file "$path$file" | grep -i iso-8859` == "" ]]; then
			filename="${file/.rum/}"
			filename="${filename/.srt/}.romanian.srt"
			$ICONV < "$path$file" > "$path$filename"
			sed -i 's:þ:ț:g' "$path$filename"
			sed -i 's:º:ș:g' "$path$filename"
			sed -i 's:ª:Ș:g' "$path$filename"
			sed -i 's:Þ:Ț:g' "$path$filename"
			mv $path$file $path$file".bak"
		fi
	done

Make subtitle.sh executable

sudo chmod +x /home/emby/subtitle.sh

To autostart the subtitle script use systemd:

cd /etc/systemd/system/
sudo nano subtitle.service

and paste the following code

[Unit]
Description=Subtitle Renamer
After=network.target

[Service]
User=emby
Restart=always
RestartSec=5
Type=simple
ExecStart=/home/emby/subtitle.sh
TimeoutStopSec=20

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

Make subtitle.service executable and enable it

sudo chmod +x subtitle.service
sudo systemctl enable subtitle.service

Start the service

sudo service subtitle start
