What have you tried? What didn't work? What movie(s) did you run tests with?

e.g. Conditional Structures (if-then-else)

Format: Select all

{ genres ==~ /Documentary|News/ ? 'U:/Documentaries/' : 'T:/TV Shows/' }

:!: I see. You are talking about embedded subtitles and not external subtitles. That changes things. :?: In this case, please copy & paste the raw MediaInfo table via FileBot so we can see the all the keys. That way we can write code to check if the file contains any subtitles streams that are ...

What are the subtitle file names you have?

Can you share the subtitle files or OpenSubtitles links to these subtitles?

What is the script you ended up using in the end? Please copy & paste for the next guy.

If the plot value is not available in your preferred language, then the plot value may be served in the original language.

{subt} will add the language code and the -forced marker.

{subt} notably can only detect -forced subtitles that are already marked as such. If you need auto-detection, then you might have to write your own code that reads the subtitle files and checks for certain heuristics.

:idea: Your code is wrong. It is running and failing for every single file: Cannot invoke method or() on null object This particular error message is likely caused by this bit, where you invent new variables (which are null by default) and then use the | or operator on them, which conceptually doesn ...

:idea: episode is a top-level binding. info will optionally give you an EpisodeDetails object. FileBot however does not have the airsBefore* properties in its model, so we need to use raw which gives us the raw JSON API response which happens to contain these airsBefore* properties if you're using ...

: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?

:idea: Usage generally looks like this: --apply '{ source, target, metadata -> println "$source | $target | $metadata" }' --apply /path/to/apply.groovy :idea: As for how to pass these command-line options to the jlesage/filebot docker container, that you might have to figure out yourself with a bit ...

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.
