Any idea why I'm seeing this: $ filebot -script fn:nfo 'Police State (2023)/Police State (2023).mkv' [MOVIE] Police State (2023) [/share/movies/Movies/Police State (2023)/Police State (2023).mkv] Generate Movie NFO: Police State (2023) [/share/movies/Movies/Police State (2023)/Police State (2023).nf...

I ripped them most likely with handbrake.

I've watched that movie file, it isn't corrupted in any way I can see.

I just noticed looking over the files that failed, so far they are all mp4, with the working ones being mkv's.

$ filebot -script fn:mediainfo "/share/movies/Movies/Battleship (2012)/Movies/Battleship (2012)/Battleship (2012).mp4" # /share/movies/Movies/Battleship (2012)/Movies/Battleship (2012)/Battleship (2012).mp4 General #0 Count : 348 StreamCount : 1 StreamKind : General StreamKind/String : Ge...

After renaming all of the files, I'm running the nfo script on all of my movies, and most are working but a few generate this error: [MOVIE] Battleship (2012) [/share/movies/Movies/Battleship (2012)/Movies/Battleship (2012)/Battleship (2012).mp4] Generate Movie NFO: Battleship (2012) [/share/movies/...

It's more of a function of the fact that a firetv stick is a painfully slow platform. Only the very latest generation is even fast enough to keep up with a very simple up/down remote control. When you get into making metadata operations on large volumes of files you have to accept each will take a m...

If there's no way to make this work without renaming every file, there's no way to make this work without making a mess out of my media server and all of it's properly indexed content. NM, I'll just tar off the library to an LTO and restore it later. The last time I just pointed kodi to a replacemen...

Can you elaborate on vf? I don't see it in the command list.

I REALLY don't want to reorganize my entire media collection to to the plex format with a separate subdirectory for every movie. Besides, if did that, re-indexing kodi would take many, many hours and would leave me two entries per movie in the guide. I know no way to clean that mess up besides click...

You told me the file name being already in kodi format would keep the -rename from properly tagging the xattr, did I miss understand you? I just need to create these nfo files, but I don't want rename every one of these files in plex format and break my existing media server. If I need to rename the...

Excellent, Thanks! Just to confirm I'm going about this the right way, my plan is this: 1 I currently have about 1K movies already indexed in kodi using title (year) 2 Since I can't process them as currently named, and don't want to end up with having to reindex everything I plane to write a script ...

I have multiple movies that include both original and later remakes, I'm trying to do a rename on these and specifying the year to get the right one, something like this only I still am trying to figure out the correct format: $ filebot -rename --db TheMovieDB --filter true 'y 1960' 'The Magnificent...

I'm trying to figure out how to use a year filter to -rename the correct movie where there are multiple same titles due to a remake.

Is there no way to do a rename using the title and year?

NM, found it.

Subject says it all, tried the command with "filebot -rename ?" no dice, and couldn't find it on git either.

Awesome, Thanks!

Great little tool, just one more QQ, instead of writing the nfo file, is there an option to send it to stdout?

Thanks for that! I tried it but it failed so I put an update under the support forum.

I just installed filebot on my Rocky 9 server and am having trouble getting it to work right: $ filebot -rename '/share/movies/Zulu (1964).mkv' Classify media files * Consider specifying --db TheMovieDB::TV to force Episode Mode * Consider specifying --db TheMovieDB to force Movie Mode Rename movies...

That's great, but I couldn't find any examples. Could you please point me to one where I pass a movie title and year and get the xml output file please?

Does the cli provide any ability to return metadata like plot, actors, director? I would like to build a local database and am looking for a way to extract this metadata.

TIA.
