now i did read something that naming and anime is largely treated as tv series so im guess the passing filename should have a category of anime in qbit to fix any mismatching :idea: If you have file names like I Can't Understand What My Husband Is Saying - S02E01 then that's going the be processed ...

:arrow: Please read the Automated Media Center › Change how files will be organized and renamed section. :idea: Each format for each content type can generate absolute target file paths which will then be used. There's not much I can add to that. Let me know if you still struggle with making the amc ...

e.g. Replace : colon with - dash



Alternatively, you could just use the {plex} format which automatically takes care of these things:

Replace : colon with - dash

Is it possible to configure the Filebot GUI on MacOS (not the Mac App Store version) to use a proxy? I have tried 3 or 4 different ways to do this mentioned in other forum posts but nothing is working. :?: What have you tried so far? Does FileBot not inherit your system proxy settings? What kind of ...

:?: What happens if you select Episode Order: Digital in the Episode Order Preferences ? https://i.imgur.com/LyslIJ9.png :?: Is this the episode list you want to use for renaming? Here's what I see when I fetch Episode Order: Digital via the Episodes tool: https://i.snipboard.io/0nGxk8.jpg :idea: If ...

Would you consider adding support for JSONL formatting to the plain file mode? Such that it would recognize the episode objects from the output of filebot list? :?: What is your use case? What is the problem you're trying to solve? Maybe updating xattr metadata ? Maybe Linear Rename ? That way ...

Did you figure it out and if so what was the solution? Did you not figure it out? Feedback is appreciated.

So would I need to install Filebot Node in my qBT container to then send commands :?: Can you install additional software into your qBT container? :idea: If you are using the linuxserver-qbittorrent container (instead of building your own container that contains both qBT and filebot ) then you are ...

:?: Which qBT container are you using? Does the filebot command-line tool exist within the container environment? :idea: Remember that the docker container that is running qBT and your Synology DSM host are two different computers for all accounts and purposes. Your container cannot directly run ...

:?: What does the Format Editor say when you test the relevant part of the format on a relevant file? https://i.snipboard.io/eBkboM.jpg :?: What does filebot -mediainfo say for the file at hand? filebot -mediainfo *.mkv --format "{ audioLanguages.ISO3 } | { f }" General Observations : :!: You'll ...

Can you provide a sample file paths as text so that we can try to reproduce the problem?

What is your custom format?

How are your files organised? Have you tried processing files in another folder? Is there an NFO file that forces a specific movie ID?

1. :idea: If you use TheMovieDB - which allows duplicate series names - then the series name {n} will never contain the series year: { n } :idea: If you use TheTVDB - which does not allow duplicate series names - then the series name may contain a year (2005) or a region (UK) to make the series name ...

I mean you can use the zenity command independently of FileBot to see what works and what doesn’t. We could change how FileBot calls zenity if we knew what zenity commands work correctly on your device. Presumably different variations of the --filename option will work better. Maybe your version of z ...

Here's the zenity command that FileBot is calling: zenity --file-selection --multiple --filename="/SnapRaidArray/Anime/The Beginning After the End S01 1080p WEBRip AAC x265-EMBER/[EMBER] The Beginning After the End - 12.mkv" --title="Select Files" --filename means the dialog will open at ...

:?: Can you try again with Zenity and debug logging enabled? filebot -script fn:properties --def net.filebot.UserFiles.fileChooser=Zenity net.filebot.logging.debug=ALL That should print the zenity command to the console output so that we can see the instructions that FileBot passes onto the zenity ...

Which File Dialog Implementation are you currently using?


Zenity should be default on Linux, so you can try the Swing implementation instead:

Are you using a VPN or any other kind of software (e.g. anti-virus / firewall) that might be interfering with network connections?

[NordVPN] java.net.BindException: Cannot assign requested address: no further information



EDIT:

Maybe this works.

You can import / export preferences from the command-line like so: Export preferences: filebot -script fn:preferences --output /path/to/folder Import preferences: filebot -script fn:preferences /path/to/preferences.xml EDIT: Note that if you’re using the CLI then there are no Presets since Presets i ...

Can I just dump those in the ~/.filebot folder? I recommend using the Export User Data and Restore User Data buttons: https://i.imgur.com/fhvfMMi.png :idea: If you just copy the underlying storage then it might work, or it might not, or it might work partially. Your live settings are stored via ...

If you're using the GUI and want to import / export Presets then you can do that via Backup and Restore Settings.

If you're using the CLI then everything is in the command-line call that you can just copy & paste from one machine to another.

-unixfs will disable file path validation. Please read Target Unix Filesystem for details.
That said, I would strongly discourage you from using | ' " \ ␤ etc in a file path. IMHO, you're just asking for unexpected issues down the line.

Good to hear. Let us know if you ever have any issues or ideas for new features.

Each 1-year purchase is unique and stands on its own. You can use a different email address every time. The checkout process (for better or worse) does not know or care if you're a repeat customer. :arrow: If you click Renew License in the FileBot Desktop application then your email address will be ...

I'll see about adding user error detection for this case to the login form with upcoming releases.
