Suggestions For Automating Copy/Delete Routines


Recommended Posts

Hello all,

 

I am trying to implement a more interactive media player experience with Emby.  I have two storage locations for content; one has ALL content, and the other is where EMBY reads its content from.  I want to move things in and out of where Emby reads from on schedules to enable things like seasonal content (Christmas movies in Emby 12/1, deleted 12/31, etc...).  Maybe randomly put various seasons of TV Shows in/out so the content remains fresh and constantly rotates...

 

So for example...

 

On 12/1, copy /mnt/Movies/Yogi's First Christmas.mkv /mnt/Emby/Movies

On 12/31, delete /mnt/Emby/Movies/Yogi's First Christmas.mkv

 

Do any of you have any suggestions as to how to go about this?  I don't trust my scripting skills (the above is clearly just an example and wrong), so something I could run graphically would be ideal.  Any ideas would be appreciated.  

 

Thanks!
