java.lang.NullPointerException

[eolewis]

I'm not sure what happened as I had been using Filebot for quite some time for both movies and TV shows to rename and move files for my Plex Server. Today I tried to rename 2 TV shows but instead of the usual showing the new name for example as

Code: Select all

H:/TV Shows/Firefly/Season 1/Firefly - S01E01 - Serenity

it just shows

Code: Select all

Firefly - 1x01 - Serenity

. When I went into Fetch Data and clicked on edit format, both settings I had for movies and episodes was blank with a warning symbol that read Expression yields empty value. I went and fixed the expressions for movies with no problems. However, upon trying to fix Episodes using both

Code: Select all

H:/{plex}

and the old values

Code: Select all

H:/TV Series/{n}/{'Season '+s}/{n} - {s00e00} - {t}

, I am now receiving an error

Code: Select all

java.lang.NullPointerException

. I uninstalled and re-installed to no avail. I then purchased from the Windows Store with the same problem. I also uninstalled all Java from my computer and reinstalled only the x64 version and still have the same error. Any help would be appreciative.

Please run filebot from console:

Code: Select all

filebot

That way you can run the GUI and still see console output. If you see a warning message, then you should get lots of additional information in the console. Please post that additional information.

You will also find previous logs in the FileBot app data folder:

Code: Select all

%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Packages\PointPlanck.FileBot_*\LocalCache\Roaming\FileBot

You might be able to fix the problem by clearing all user settings:

Code: Select all

filebot -clear-prefs

Thank you. clearing the user settings worked and I was able to re-create my renaming string.

Thanks. Strange issue. I think I fixed it now, though I never managed to reproduce it.
