Yes, you can copy & paste your format code unchanged into a new text file and then specify that text file as --format option value.

I'd start by adding the missing genres to TheMovieDB. You can of course combine the results of different bindings: { (omdb.genres + genres).unique().take(5) } But you will find it hard to deduplicate "similar but not the same" genres: [Adventure, Drama, Sci-Fi, Action & Adventure, Sci-...

Looks like OMDb API indeed only returns 3 actors. Well, that's that.


Note that FileBot does not use IMDB, and cannot use IMDB as per IMDB Terms of Service.


Why not use TheMovieDB information? You can always contribute to TheMovieDB if something is still missing.

What exactly is slow? What custom formats have you tried?

The Invalid argument suggests an internal macOS file system error, i.e. FileBot asks macOS to move A to B, then the OS fails to do so and returns an error message instead: SEVERE: MOVE: A -> B: Invalid argument :idea: https://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/297008/terminal-what-does-intermittent-c...

You can try just {plex} as baseline for how fast it can be, and then do systematic trial & error testing to see what makes your custom format slow in comparison. :idea: Bindings such as {info} will require additional network requests (unless already cached) so we can expected that to be somewhat...

Unfortunately, no. The GUI and the CLI are completely separate.

You'll want to set the format you want and then just process all your files from wherever they may be into the new structure defined by your format, works conceptually the same in both GUI and CLI: { drive }/Media/{ plex.id } :arrow: See How do I organize files for Plex? for details. e.g. $ filebot ...
