Thank you!

My misconception was there was a way to do this on a "per-run" basis

It's more that I am confused on where to put the code you suggested above.
Does that go in a User Script in Post Processing or can it be used in a Preset?

I don't understand... TMLI5 :) My Renaming Preset looks like this: /Volumes/Media_2/Plex/Series/ { ~plex.year.id.derive { allOf { tags }{ vf }{ source } { "${ vcf}_${ hd }_${ bitdepth }_${ acf }" } { info.network } .joining('][', ' [',']') } } { if (dc > 1) '_'+di } OR User Scripts: Rename>Options ...

Howdy, I use presets and I know there is an option to "Post Process" with "Set Finder tags" but I want to override and customize the tags. :?: Can I customize tags in my Preset to override the default tags? OR :?: Do we need to create a User Script? If so can we override the defaults you have ...

macOS / APFS do not fundamentally disallow dates before 1970 on the file system level at the very least: $ touch -d 1968-01-0100:00:00 a.txt $ stat -x a.txt ... Access: Mon Jan 1 00:00:00 1968 Modify: Mon Jan 1 00:00:00 1968 Change: Fri Aug 16 03:30:00 2024 Birth: Fri Aug 16 03:30:00 2024 ... On ...

Hi Red, I am using macOS I have the post processing option set to "set creation date" and I have a lot of older films... pre 1970. I am getting crazy date stamps on those files because Unix doesn't allow dates to be set before 1/1/1970. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/scl/fi/gh8wbbnc5ax9imgrwu40r ...

v5.1.3 macOS 14.5 When both "Set creation date" and "Update time stamp" are selected "Update time stamp" overwrites the "creation date" as well as the "modified date". This wasn't the case in the recent past. I was previously able to have two dates using both of these checkboxes: The creation date ...

I remember we were highly discouraged from clearing cache. Does that cost real money when users are constantly clearing cache (i.e. pulling data via APIs = abusing usage quotas)?

I remember there was a way to force FB to find a new entry in TMDB via a link... I think. I forgot to take notes :( example... If I find that a new release can't be renamed because it's not in TMDB yet, and go to TMDB to add the episode, can I rename it immediately, or do I have to wait until the ...

:?: Anyone have any success with "The Office" series using TheMovieDB? The issue is the combined episodes. Using "DVD order" doesn't work when using TheMovieDB, while TVmaze renames perfectly matching the files and episode numbers using "DVD order" and "Airdate" order. TVmaze works perfectly... but ...

Set a custom umask in macOS Looking in /private/var/db/com.apple.xpc.launchd Many of my applications are listed, FileBot is not. Umask for user apps Log in as an administrator and enter the following command in Terminal, replacing nnn with the umask value, such as 027 or 002. This command sets the ...

If users can't edit or authenticate files on a macOS hosted SMB
You might need to confirm a user's server information, connections, and directory details or adjust access.

Poor editing :mrgreen: Sorry for the confusing post, I mixed different states in one post as I had saved a draft earlier, worked on it for a day, then came back to the draft (you said can't use root volume - so I added a new folder and same problem) The directories do exist. Should I have unixfs ...

Thanks for troubleshooting this with me. I made a post on StackExchange asking for help on the permissions issue I have made many changes while trying to fix this. Some of the information in the first posts on this post are no longer relevant. I assure you the paths do exist - I don't think that is ...

:?: Can you move files manually with the mv command? Yes. qBittorrent calls a script that copies the files to /PlexMedia_1/pTemp #!/usr/bin/env bash mkdir -p ~/Desktop/qBt_test ## logging stuff { date; ps -p $PPID -o pid=,ucomm=; printf '\n'; } >> ~/Desktop/qBt_test/log.txt 2>&1 ## log all input ...

I have been trying for a week to correct this and now coming here as I have run out of ideas I am recently upgraded to Sonoma My volumes are on a remote Mac mini and I have them mounted locally. This is the FileBot command: /Volumes/PlexServer_2/Plex/Series/ { ~plex.year.derive { allOf { tags }{ vf ...

@rednoah Hello Does FileBot need/use/expect the strings as you have written them: ut_label , ut_title , etc. ? Can that nomenclature be changed or will it break FileBot's ability to understand shell scripts. qBittorrent v4 has changed their parameter names and I see no correlation or complete list ...

Do you know how to build or download r10069? I imagine it's hosted on GitHub?

:idea: FileBot r10069 adds {plex.year.id} for users that just want Name (Year) {id-123} for aesthetic reasons. :arrow: :arrow: Plex TV Series Naming with Year Thanks for adding {plex.year}! That permanently solves it for me. Now I just need to find r10069. From what I remember the revision number ...

@rednoah
Now that the emby binding is no longer an option for Plex can you add the year to ~plex.id.derive ?

OK, looks like we've moved on... and are no longer using ~emby.id.derive for Plex. :lol: Plex has its own binding now ~plex.id.derive 8-) The only thing is that the Plex binding doesn't include the Year like the Emby binding does. And that was the reason I moved to the Emby binding under your ...

I did some renaming of series today and noticed there were some underlying changes to ~emby.id.derive because I had duplicate directories for shows. /Volumes/PlexMedia/PlexServer_1/Series/A History of Ancient Britain (2011) [tmdbid=38114]/Season 01/A History of Ancient Britain (2011) - S01E01 - Age ...

Yes I have been recently renaming in place... occasionally not. (my workflow/bash script copies files to a temp folder on "PlexMedia" before renaming with FileBot which moves them into the "PlexServer_1" directory) I like the ability to validate the full path and what is most pertinent to me is the ...

Thanks for the response! Considering your input... the change wouldn't have to be implemented exactly the way I suggested. Perhaps object type could be first instead of second to object ? This way the yellow highlighted object type would always be visible by virtue of being to the left side - two ...

Looks like dropbox has changed their Sharing settings... took me a bit to get the proper psuedo Rename attached
