1. Because in the early 1980s someone at Microsoft decided to do their own thing, instead of copying Unix like everyone else. 2. Yes, you will have to modify your script so that your script will call filebot the way you want. 3. If you double-click a *.cmd file then the default file association open...

1. You can't use bash scripts (i.e. *.sh files) on Windows. You'll have to write your own glue logic script in something that works on Windows, e.g. as CMD script akin to this one: https://github.com/filebot/plugins/blob/master/cmd/jdownloader-postprocess.cmd 2. A valid --output folder is required f...

Long story short, I couldn't get the duplicates script to work even after enabling the .xattr directories and making sure both source and destination had filled .xattr directories (by moving them to a temporary directory, then renaming them). If you're looking into xattr, then you're already on the...

I’ll try and report, but this way I’d be missing a lot of the name processing and cleaning that Fb does, right? What kind of cleaning and processing are you looking for in the context of books and comics? You can write all your code in a big local format, but I don't think FileBot has much to offer...

:?: What have you tried? Where are you stuck? What's not working? Feel free to include screenshots. I'm using the command-line for convenience, and it works out of the box, for this particular file path at the very least: $ filebot -rename *.mkv --db TheTVDB -non-strict --format '/path/to/Media/{ple...

Good catch. Fixed with FileBot r7643.

Please include file paths and screenshots (if GUI) or console output (if CLI). Please click How to Request Help in my signature for details.

Good catch. Looks like FileBot will need to account for Windows implicitly ignoring trailing ... in certain circumstances yet throwing errors in others. Exhibit A Get-Item C:\Windows.............. Directory: C:\ Mode LastWriteTime Length Name ---- ------------- ------ ---- d----- 10-May-20 15:19 Win...

If you want to select all movies that belong to any collection, then this will do:

What would the purpose of a --filter based on collections be? Exclude movie options that don't belong to any collection before matching? :!: {model} doesn't work without rename context . The {model} is the result of matching all the files up with movies, while --filter is used to select movies for m...

1. As for solving the problem at the source, upgrading to the latest and greatest Java 14.0.1 would be my first step. 2. If the FileBot process crashes, then the process will most assuredly terminate with a non-zero exit code, likely dump lots of debug information into stderr too. :idea: You may nee...

You'll need to use curl via --def exec if you need to do HTTP requests with BASIC authentication. The amc script itself does not implicitly support BASIC authentication via user:pass URL scheme.

e.g.

A minor version difference probably won't make a difference, unless your format is very intricate and specific about newly introduced MediaInfo properties.

Yes, you can --apply post-postprocessing actions on existing xattr-tagged files via the -mediainfo command.

e.g.

Well, the main reason we don't have support for niche databases isn't APIs, those can be implemented in a day or two. The problem is support for niche content types. FileBot has no way of identifying and matching "books" or "comics" or even "music" for that matter. That being said, if you use --db f...

Because whichever working libmediainfo.so appears in the library path first and was thus loaded self-identifies as 19.09.


You can use this command to see how the filebot startup script works and where it might be searching for libraries:

Have you tried the --file-filter option yet?
viewtopic.php?t=4222

e.g.

You could try the --filter option:
viewtopic.php?t=2127

e.g.

Alternatively, if FileBot simply exited with a different error code for "is an exact copy and already exists" and for "Skipped because already exists", then I could do my own deletion/moving via scripting. I'd have to invoke FileBot separately for each individual file, but again, CPU time is cheape...

1. You have 2 input arguments : Argument[0]: /var/lib/transmission/Downloads Argument[1]: /var/lib/transmission/unsorted And all files in those 2 input folders will be processed with default formats, using --output as absolute output folder: --output "/mnt/samba/" 2. If you want to override the dest...

What does "date added" mean exactly?


Here's the information we do get from TheTVDB, and so we don't have a Date-Added field for individual Episode records:

All FileBot purchases are one-time purchases. Your license will not automatically renew, and cannot be renewed manually, other than simply purchasing a new one.

What does the console output say when you run the command?

You can customize your format so that your format produces the absolute file paths you want.

e.g.

Closing and re-opening is what I'm trying to avoid since it's a nuisance and I'm a lazy butt. Any chance that it could also compare the file size so that if the file size is different, it will generate a new hash instead of using the old one simply based on the same filename? I'll look into it. Pro...
