FileBot

I just purchased your tool to rename my large collection of movies, which I have collected over the many years. I have a lot of my early movies with missing year labels and trying to get them in compliance with Plex. Most of my movies were originally formatted in DVRMS format as I was using mymovies database with windows media center before Plex. When I load those movies into filebot, it can load them, but I get no matches for them. For my MKV or Mpg movies it works great. Is this expected behavior? Any help is appreciated. Thank you.

Could you include a screenshots or file paths so I can have a look at what's going on?

Please read How to Request Help.

Hi, thanks for your reply. Please see screenshots. I have 1,600 titles I'm loading in case that information matters. I've tried just selecting a few movies and get the same results.

I'm using this path : G:/Media Collection/Converted Movies/Movies/{plex}

Files loaded to filebot



No matches after choosing TheMovieDB or OMDb

looks like file ext format is NOT supported:

filename.DVR-MS

for now you can try to change 1 file from DVR-MS to e.g. mkv

and then back to DVR-MS when renamed

I see. You're right. DVR-MS is not a well-known extension for video files, so they're completely ignored as non-media files.

Thanks for the responses, that is what I assumed. So besides using mcebuddy to change existing files to mkv, is there another way to get filebot to treat dvr ms as a video file and process it?

Unfortunately, no. For episode files you could do manual matching, but for movies you're out of luck here. I'll add that extension to the list of video file types though for next release.

okay thanks! I fortunately have mcebuddy, I'll load it up on my main machine which has the most horse power and convert them to MKV.

You do not need to convert, only rename.

I tried renaming and that didn't work. The file names don't have DVRMS in their titles, but it shows up when loaded as if it does. I'm going to use 2 pc's to go through my list of files and convert to MKV as that is the new format I've been ripping my personal blu-ray movies.

I believe you can use Filebot to rename the extension "{ext}", but I'm not sure how to do it both ways, maybe rednoah can help with that part ?

This was NOT easy to find out

to rename with Filebot GUI:
viewtopic.php?t=2072

MAKE SURE to change settings to "Override" (default is "Preserve"... reset it when done)

format to use:
UPDATED: DONE.... ready to normal rename

Thanks for this! Not so sound like a noob, but I just started using this tool. Where would I use this command?

read the link
viewtopic.php?t=2072

press key F2
right mouse click or Double Click
Edit Format
copy/paste

I see. Sorry missed the link! Really appreciate your help with this.

thx, I used way too much time on this one
