If you use --action hardlink and --conflict replace and if source / destination are already the same file then FileBot will still skip the operation since deleting the hardlink and then creating the same hardlink again is effectively no operation: [HARDLINK] Skipped [A] because [B] already exists :i...

You'll want to process only files that have not yet been processed. :arrow: Since you're using hardlinks, the link count will tell you if the file has been processed or not. See How do I process only specific kinds of files? › Option 4: Start FileBot with --file-filter from Terminal for details and ...

If you rename files then they stay that way. Doesn't matter if you're doing it with FileBot or with something else. There's no way to "temporary" move / rename a file which is then undone on reboot. Here's how Revert files via the internal History works. You can use that to manually un-ren...

Sort into A-Z folders

Sort into A-Z folders

e.g. { switch(az) { case 'A'..'E': return 'A-E' case 'F'..'J': return 'F-J' case 'K'..'O': return 'K-O' case 'P'..'T': return 'P-T' case 'U'..'Z': return 'U-Z' case '0-9': return '0-9' default: return '###' } } :idea: Note that {az} will return "0-9" by default (and not just a single digi...

1. I want the original folder/filenames on INCOMING_NAS as links so I can continue seeding them without wasting space. You want files on INCOMING_NAS to be links to files on STORAGE_NAS. You therefore do not want folders linking to other folders . The folder linking bit does not make sense if you th...

[FAQ] How do I recover a lost license key?

:?: Are you using NordVPN split tunnelling by any chance? NordVPN split tunnelling is known to fundamentally break network connections for some users: java.net.BindException: Cannot assign requested address: no further information :arrow: [NordVPN] java.net.BindException: Cannot assign requested add...

1. I would symlink each file rather than the parent folder. I see no benefit in moving the files to a new structure - keeping the original file names - and then symlinking the parent folder. e.g. multi-file torrent INCOMING_ NAS\movies\movie.year.group.encoding.blah.blah\movie.year.group.encoding.bl...

The {vf} binding will give you the "rounded" video format value, e.g. 720p even if the video height is not exactly 1280x720 pixels.

{vs} will give you the video source. See Source Media {vs} and {source} for details.


e.g.

I can see some history but not enough to make it worthwhile to revert and re-do will apply import. So I guess -exec mklink will have to do. I assume historic.f is the original filename and f is the new filename? I want to link the directory not the file. Is that possible? I don't think it's concept...

FileBot uses xattr metadata . If you move a file that has xattr metadata to file system that does not support xattr (e.g. FAT) then some versions of Windows may warn you that this metadata will get lost. That said, I haven't seen these warnings since Windows 7 / 8 myself at the very least. :arrow: I...

:idea: FileBot keeps a History so you can always check which file was moved where after the fact. :idea: If you want copy along Companion Files then you can enable the Import companion files feature when processing files. You probably won't be able to process orphaned companion files after the prima...

:?: Does Windows allow remote UNC file paths as symlink target in the first place? (Maybe. Maybe not. You'll want to run your own tests.) :arrow: I'd map \\skinnier\skinny_backup as network drive with a drive letter to make it look like a local drive with local file paths. You will probably fare bet...

When using TheMovieDB , then --order Absolute will pick the first episode group of that type. It's unfortunately not possible to manually select an episode group by group id, so renaming files against TVDB Order (Absolute) specifically is not possible. :idea: Since you are trying to match files agai...

Your machine is unable to connect to TheMovieDB: java.net.http.HttpConnectTimeoutException: HTTP connect timed out Maybe it's you. Maybe it's the server.

(requires FileBot r10230 or higher) This post-processing script will relocate files in qBT after moving / renaming files with FileBot. :!: This script currently only supports relocation for single-file torrents .

Plex uses TheMovieDB / Airdate Order by default, therefore TheMovieDB / Airdate Order will likely work best for Plex:

Doing the [anidb-###] bit with AoM scripting could be pretty useful to the AoM user community. Maybe add that bit to the docs for the next guy?
