:idea: Special Position: Airs before season 1, episode 5 seems to be something new. I'm not sure if the API makes this information even available. I'll have a look. :arrow: You can probably use the episode airdate to sort episodes into the appropriate watch order. EDIT :idea: You can access the ...

No worries. You're welcome.

:idea: A Preset defines a specific database / specific episode order / specific language to match against, a specific custom format to generate target file names with, etc, all at once. If you want to use a specific custom format, then you'll want to modify the Preset accordingly and then click on ...

:?: What does the Format Editor say? :!: You are prototyping your custom format in the GUI Format Editor, right? Because prototyping via CMD script tests runs sounds rather cumbersome. :arrow: Try this: { ny.colon(' - ') }{ " {tmdb-$tmdbid}" }{ " {edition-$edition}" }{ " [$vf, $vc, $ac]" } Avatar ...

Latest Beta Revisions and Release Candidates

:idea: FileBot for Windows ships with its own JRE and does not use any JRE you may or may not have installed on your system. You could try older versions of FileBot (that might ship with different versions of the JRE) to see if that makes a difference. Please try the latest beta for good measure ...

Thanks for the bug report. Looks like the API response has changed. Fixed with FileBot r10884.

when I click Rename, it never even searches for subtitles :idea: What are the file names you are working with? Are subtitles available for these files? The Fetch subtitle files feature may not always work because Exact Search: Lookup by Hash may not always work for the specific file at hand. And I ...

Well, the version number can be revealed with one click and the complete release details and explicit update-check are just one more click away. Perhaps not intuitive, but also less than a second of click work. That said, future releases (on macOS) will intercept About menu clicks and provide an ...

I think that anything like FileBot 5.2.0 (Activated) or FileBot 5.2.0 (P1234567) or FileBot 5.2.0 (Valid-Until: 2026-01-01) looks ugly and cringe. The version number is generally not relevant for day-to-day FileBot usage so it's not necessary to show it at all times. That said, if you're running an ...

Well, built-in support is not planned, but if those sites have an API, then you can easily write a Custom Post-Processing Script to download some files from somewhere after processing a given movie or episode. That way you can add support for any artwork source yourself. EDIT :idea: Neither The ...

Try this:

Format: Select all

{ n.tokenize(' ').take(3).join(' ') }

Alternatively, you can truncate to the nearest word-boundary like so:

Format: Select all

{ n.truncate(20, /\W/) }

What was the old password that didn't work? And you're using the FileBot Desktop application and not the FileBot Node Web application or command-line tools?

Thanks for the feedback. Do you mind pasting the raw MediaInfo table of such a tagged file here? Then we can use that for testing and future reference.

When you see this, please change the format to { mediaFile } so that we can see what media file we're working with:

Format: Select all

{ mediaFile }

You could try to modify /var/packages/java-installer/target/get-java.sh and replace: curl -fsSL -o "$JDK_TAR_GZ" --retry 5 "$JDK_URL" with: curl --insecure -fsSL -o "$JDK_TAR_GZ" --retry 5 "$JDK_URL" Then restart the NAS to trigger the auto-update on start. Thank you :) Unfortunately, it didn't ...

No worries. On mobile. Thought you might appreciate a quick link now more than a well-written reply tomorrow.

The easy solution is to just use {~plex} instead:
Format: Select all
{ ~plex }
Plex / Kodi / Emby / Jellyfin Naming Schemes › Advanced {plex} operators

{ plex.tail } not working

Original source medium : Blu-ray Having "video[0].Original_source_medium" will result in "Blu-ray" (and likewise DVD-Video if it's a DVD.) That's pretty cool. If this tag becomes more common we'll see about updating {vs} and {source} to check for this as well.

:idea: The {edition} is based on the filename , so it'll work / not work depending on whether or not there's keywords such as Directors Cut in the current filename. Please read [DOCS] The movie {tags} and movie {edition} bindings for details. :idea: I've never seen Original_source_medium in the ...

GUI Presets allow you to set a default input folder from which files are loaded. An additional file filter expression allows you to select only specific files from that default input folder. e.g. select only video files: f.video e.g. select only episode files: f.episode e.g. select only movie files ...

The Plex naming guidelines call for the tmdb id to be present both in the enclosing directory name as well as the file name :idea: 1 ID marker in the file path is fine. Adding it twice is unnecessary and has no effect . :arrow: That said, you can use the {plex} binding with the ** operator to ...
