Re: Ability to Configure NFO Output

Possible, but I've never seen season-level NFO files. Any information could instead be added to the series-level NFO or the episode-level NFO. If Plex devs would provide a season.nfo sample file then I could have a look. As far as FileBot metadata is concerned, the season title is part of each ...

Re: Ability to Configure NFO Output

Makes sense to me. We can enforce the tvshow.nfo / movie.nfo standard naming by default.

Re: Ability to Configure NFO Output

:idea: 1x10 is in fact the correct primary SxE number for TheTVDB Episode ID 297998 - Objects in Space so it's not confusing at all that this SxE number is used for the NFO file. This is intended behaviour, so you always get the same NFO files regardless of your Episode Order preferences that you ...

I'm sorry, I'm not entirely getting your meaning. It'll use the Episode ID to get the full episode record, including episode overview, actors, directors, etc. The xattr metadata serves only as key to lookup the complete episode record, which is then exported into the various NFO / XML elements.

Re: Problem: cf binding returns fla instead of flac.

Yep, that would do it. {cf} would return fla for this file: Format/Extensions : fla flac :idea: I strongly recommend using {ext} to just grab the current file extension from the current file path. If you compare only {ext} and {media.Format} then {ext} would be infinitely faster since the file path ...

A change in behaviour for *.flac files (NOTE: both *.flac and *.fla are valid FLAC file extensions) would be ...

You can use filebot -script fn:sysinfo and if you see Script Bundle: 2026-02-08 (r1020) then it'll work. You can do filebot -clear-cache once to force a refresh.
