:?: How do I rename the latest episode The Star Beast of Doctor Who? TV Shows/Doctor Who {tmdb-239770}/Specials/Doctor Who - S00E01 - The Star Beast :idea: Note that Doctor Who (2005) and Doctor Who (2023) are different TV Shows for all accounts and purposes. Please read Doctor Who → Content Issues ...

:?: What does the console output say? :idea: If the files don't have ID3 tags then you indeed will not be able to process them reliably. That said, you will want to look at the console output at the end. You will get [TEST] from [/path/to/A] to [/path/to/B] lines that tell you what FileBot would be ...

The task at hand is very difficult. AniDB / TMDB episode information does not match 1:1 so be prepared to figure things out for each series one by one. If you're lucky, most will just work. :arrow: [Anime] Convert Absolute to SxE numbers will get you started. The Anime-Lists/anime-lists project prov...

You'll want to organize files into a new file and folder structure. Please read Q: Can I move files? Can I rename folders? Can I change how files are named? for details. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cihWAvDW7MM You can get the file paths you want by changing your custom format to something like t...

The Find Duplicate Movie or Episode Files script requires xattr metadata to instantly and reliably identify files, so that it can then find Movie and Episode duplicates: In --mode logical , this script will not parse or guess any information from the filename. Files that do not have xattr metadata w...

separate HD, 4K and genre has copy & paste example code for this use case.

I guess you could just add 4K somewhere in the file path? { height > 2000 ? '4K' : '' } e.g. { if (genres =~ /Animation/) return "Séries d'animations" if (genres =~ /Documentaire|Reality/) return "Séries Documentaires" else return "Séries" } { if (height > 2000) return ...

FileBot r10152 fixes charset auto-detection for UTF-8 encoded files generated by FileBot itself.

:?: What is the real path of C:\Tool\A\Output though? (NOTE: behaviour may depend on the real file path) What I understood so far, is that, Filebot takes the path of the video files, and, from that point, the parent directories starts to count. If you use ../{plex} or {folder}/{plex} or ../../{plex}...

:idea: . refers to the current directory. .. refers to the parent directory. You can do ../../.. to refer to the parent of the parent of the parent and so on. See What are "." and ".." in a directory? for details. :?: What is the real path of C:\Tool\A\Output ? This is likely a m...

Alternatively, you can add any UTF-8 character into the first 8000 bytes to nudge the charset detector towards the correct charset:

:idea: You'll want to create one *.sfv file per series. Then it'll likely always work. Alternatively, you can add any UTF-8 character into the first 8000 bytes (e.g. Pokémon lines first; or add a character like ✔ to the comments on the first line) to nudge the charset detector towards the correct ch...

You'll want to prototype your format in the GUI:



Once you have prototyped your format and tested it on a variety of files, then you can paste it into a *.groovy text file and reference it like so:

Yes, you can use {genres} to access the list of genres from the database and the generate file paths accordingly. e.g. Conditional Structures (if-then-else) e.g. Move Documentary episodes and normal TV series episodes into different folders: { genre ==~ /Documentary|News/ ? 'Documentaries' : 'TV Sho...

:?: Can you provide a sample file? (please provide text as as binary file; copy & paste of text won't be useful for debugging text encoding issues; i.e. share via gdrive, dropbox, etc) :?: What tool / text encoding is used to generate the *.sfv files at hand? :idea: FileBot generally expecteds U...

:?: What custom video length setting do you want? 10 minutes? 15 minutes? 20 minutes? 25 minutes? :idea: The default is 10 minutes so that would fit nicely in between 5 minutes and 30 minutes. :idea: The --def minLengthMS option of the amc script script accepts a number in milliseconds, so you can e...

Thank you for the bug report. FileBot r10146 fixed the issue.

You can use the {sy} season year binding: https://www.filebot.net/naming.html#sy

i was hoping it would be as easy as adding some website like how filebot has TheMovieDB for example. Unfortunately, it's not that easy. Each database implementation you see in the GUI is thousands of lines of code that "talk" to the unique webservice API of that specific database. But tha...

The --db option is generally required for good results if you know in advance what kind of content your processing: --db ID3 :arrow: https://www.filebot.net/cli.html#db EDIT: :idea: Investigation reveals that trailing .s and -s in the file name / folder name is interpreted as "sample file"...

You can "add a database" in a sense by writing the code that transforms the file names you have into the file names you want, possibly by making network requests to some external service.

See [POC] Custom Format Server for inspiration.

Good catch. Looks like Smart Mode isn't very smart and matches files with both ID3 Tags and AcoustID thus yielding duplicate matches if both ID3 Tags and AcoustID yield results. This is a bug. Fixed with FileBot r10141. :arrow: Please use Music Mode: ID3 Tags when processing music files in the meanw...

OpenSubtitles REST API

OpenSubtitles REST API

:!: OpenSubtitles has announced shutting down the XML-RPC API in favour of a new OpenSubtitles REST API . This would mean that all OpenSubtitles clients that use the XML-RPC API (i.e. all of them; any code written before 2022) will stop functioning. :idea: However, OpenSubtitles has already announce...
