Re: Renaming files with date names (e.g. 17-april-2020) to {S00E00}

Ah, ok, no web services appreciate being abused. I had no idea FileBot maintained any sort of web services. That's very good to know and helps me understand how it works. As for TheTVDB, I think I could solve the problem of missing episodes by populating its database with future episode data... I se...

Re: Renaming files with date names (e.g. 17-april-2020) to {S00E00}

Get myself banned from who? FileBot? TheTVDB? Sorry this is new to me. :oops: I just discovered the discrepancy between the two systems I had FileBot installed was solved by clearing the cache on the discrepant system. If there's a much better solution for this, I appreciate knowing! ;) :?: Does cle...

Re: Renaming files with date names (e.g. 17-april-2020) to {S00E00}

Yep, that was the culprit. Okay. I'll just add -clear-cache to the scripts. Or maybe just clear them nightly or something. $ filebot -clear-cache Clear cache * Delete /home/aaronkaase/bin/filebot/data/aaronkaase/cache/0 $ filebot -list --db TheTVDB --q "CBS News Sunday Morning" --format &q...

Re: Renaming files with date names (e.g. 17-april-2020) to {S00E00}

You can check your assumptions like so: filebot -list --db TheTVDB --q "CBS News Sunday Morning" --format "{airdate} {episode}" ... 2020-04-26 CBS News Sunday Morning - 42x32 - April 26, 2020 :idea: If the episode information is there, then it'll work. That command is extremely ...

Re: Renaming files with date names (e.g. 17-april-2020) to {S00E00}

I'm running into issues with a rename failure again. I'm not sure if the issue is FileBot, or TheTVDB though, because I manually renamed the file myself and Plex failed to associate that name with an air date. So my hunch is TheTVDB might be acting up: $ filebot -rename 2020-04-26.mp4 --db TheTVDB -...

Re: Renaming files with date names (e.g. 17-april-2020) to {S00E00}

Yeah I will for sure use the ISO 8601 date format and I will also include the --db TheTVDB in the script. Anything to make it run as reliably as possible in an unattended script. I'm spinning up a bare metal server to ditch the feeble VM that I'm running on the NAS. I'm thinking some of the errors r...

Re: Renaming files with date names (e.g. 17-april-2020) to {S00E00}

Still having some issues with file renames of dated files. But I haven't updated to FileBot 4.9.1 (r7372) yet. But none of these issues involve a lowercase month in a filename. These are without --filter. USA date method (MM-DD-YYYY): $ touch 04-17-2020.mp4 $ filebot -rename 04-17-2020.mp4 --q "...

Re: Renaming files with date names (e.g. 17-april-2020) to {S00E00}

Excellent, yes, I can certainly modify my script to output DD-MM-YYYY for a filename instead. I just used the other way because I was lazy and reused variables in the script to generate the URL to download the file from the CDN server in first place. Actually, the ISO-8601 date format is ideal, whic...

Renaming files with date names (e.g. 17-april-2020) to {S00E00}

Hello all! I am a new filebot user, I purchased the license yesterday. So for my media storage, I use a schema of /video/tv/show-title/s00e00.mp4. I don't like having messy metadata in filenames... if you think I'm wrong or naive, I am certainly open to knowing why! Anyway, so I have a crontab that ...
