Re: Original files all of a sudden greyed out

:idea: A file item in the Original Files list is always greyed out if there is no corresponding episode item in the New Names list and vice versa. That is normal and simply indicates that the file at hand does not yet have a match. :?: What is the complete file path / file size / video duration of ...

Re: After April 9th everything I rename is not playable anywhere

I find it really weird that clearing the cache seems to have fixed it. filebot -clear-cache is almost certainly completely unrelated to the issue at hand. Seems to be working so this can be marked solved. It suddenly stopped working for unknown reasons. It suddenly started working again for unknown ...

Re: After April 9th everything I rename is not playable anywhere

:idea: FileBot does not modify files. If you believe that FileBot did modify your files then I would start by comparing the checksum. You can use the SFV tool in FileBot or any other checksum tool. If the checksum matches before / after processing the file with FileBot then the file has not been ...

Re: Lost formats

You could check the last modified date of that file. If it was last modified after you lost your settings then you’re out of luck. The backup file is a snapshot of your current settings, but that snapshot is only made once per month. It’d be unlucky timing if it was updated yesterday from cleared set ...

Re: Tried renewing

You'll have to contact Paddle (our payment processor) since we ourselves - by design - are not involved in the payment process at all and have no access to payment information. PayPal support may also be helpful. Alternatively, you could try a different payment method instead.

FileBot maintains a preferences.backup.xml file in the %APPDATA% folder which is only updated once per month. If your settings are somehow completely deleted from the Windows Registry, then FileBot will auto-restore your settings from there. See Backup and Restore Settings for details. EDIT: Sharing ...
