Re: UPgraded to 5.1.6 and FB suddenly doesn't work

Ah! So frustrating. This is an issue I've had to deal with for all my life and I usually catch it on my own, but once in a while I miss it. It's a reading disability (no, not dyslexia). It's really easy for me to miss a misspelling like that. I had checked it over carefully but a 'c' and 'd' in ...

UPgraded to 5.1.6 and FB suddenly doesn't work

I just upgraded, on macOS Sequoia 15.1.1, to Filebot 5.1.6. I just loaded in a season of Murdoch Mysteries and hit "Match," as I always do. Then I picked The TVDB, which I usually use. Then I get this: https://i.imgur.com/jLx1phF.png https://imgur.com/a/VPMgwYN The year is correct. The filename ...

Re: Naming formats - using a function on the entire file name

The only thing I'd like to change in the naming is just to use a dash after the show title and before the year. I've been doing that all along. (Plex is okay with it - as long as I do the folder name like it wants.) I have reading issues, basically a symbol or pattern recognition situation, and I ...

Re: Naming formats - using a function on the entire file name

Emby works - except for one thing. While it's not critical, it'd help me in terms of readability. Currently, with Emby, I get: Series_Name_YYYY-SxxExx-Episode_Title That's using what I have in the post above, but with emby replacing plex. But one small thing that confuses me visually when I try to ...

Re: Naming formats - using a function on the entire file name

Okay, testing and I think this: {plex.name.upperInitial().space('_').removeAll(/[()"',]/).replaceAll('&', 'And').replaceAll('_-_', '-')} is pretty close to working for me - I may have to shift to Emby, if that include the year in it. I've been having a lot of trouble with shows getting the right ...

Re: Naming formats - using a function on the entire file name

I think you've solved all my problems. There's a few changes I'd make, but I think I can see how to make them now. (Like using just '-' instead of '_-_' because it's easier to read.) I tend to try to avoid spaces, ampersands and other irregular characters because I'm a heavy command line user and ...

Re: Naming formats - using a function on the entire file name

Here's what I'm using now: {n.validateFileName().upperInitial().space('_').removeAll(/[()"',]/).replaceAll('&', 'And')}-{y}-S{s.pad(2)}E{e.pad(2)}-{t.validateFileName().upperInitial().space('_').removeAll(/[()"',]/).replaceAll('&', 'And')} Whenever I try to enclose the entire string in any kind of ...

Re: Naming formats - using a function on the entire file name

I'm trying to use what I see there - and writing it all in a single {...} grouping, but that doesn't seem to work at all. It's not so much about what's allowed, but what works for me. My media server is on Linux, but my other devices are on various OSes. Some characters are just a pain to have in a ...

Naming formats - using a function on the entire file name

This is the kind of feature that seems so simple to find, I'm probably using the wrong terms to look it up. I'm using the .validateFileName() function and it still leaves commas and apostrophes in the string, so I'm using an additional function for each of those characters. It turns out I have to do ...

Re: Renaming sorted files without season/episode info

Thanks! That makes a big difference! First try - I had 6 seasons of The Flintstones ripped with filenames using VxxDxxTxx and I used this and checked about 20 random files and they were in order. (I remember the DVDs when I ripped that show - the files were in order on them, so I figure if 20 ...

Renaming sorted files without season/episode info

I just downloaded FileBot and paid for a license. I've been working with the interface and looking for answers to my questions, but there's one issue I'm running into that I can't find a solution to. Years ago when I was ripping a lot of my DVDs, I didn't realize that at some point there would be ...
