:idea: If the SxE numbers in the files you have are incorrect (according to the database) then FileBot will likely mismatches the files / episodes. :arrow: If you have episode titles in the files, then you can you can use Match by Episode Title . :arrow: You can always use Manual Matching as a last ...

This custom format should get you started: /volume1/video/movies /{ az } /{ ~plex.id % { " [$vf]" } } { fn.match(/\.mp4$/) } e.g. $ filebot -rename -r /input --db TheMovieDB --output '/volume1/video/movies' --format '{ az }/{ ~plex.id % { " [$vf]" } }{ fn.match(/\.mp4$/) }' --act...

:idea: Your custom format simply needs to generate a unique target file path for each unique input file. e.g. use the {tags} binding to match known editions / tags from the file name to generate a unique file path: { ny } { tags } e.g. copy & paste arbitrary patterns from the original file name ...

I recommend opening the Format Editor via Double-Click <New Names> ➔ Edit Format after matching . That way you can open the Format Editor for the specific currently selected File / Episode or File / Movie match. Prototyping with real match information is always a good idea, plus can't get Episode Mo...

The nfo script uses the Episode ID (e.g. 4574) to lookup the episode information. That way you will always get the official latest primary SxE numbers directly from the source, irregardless of your file name, official SxE numbers used at the time, FileBot preferences used at the time, etc. This is n...

e.g. first and last season year: e.g. first and second season year:

Here's what I get on macOS with a local file: $ filebot -rename *.mp4 --db TheMovieDB --apply date touch ... [MOVE] from [Avatar.2009.mp4] to [Avatar (2009).mp4] [DATE] 2009-12-15 (Avatar (2009).mp4) [TOUCH] 2024-05-06T17:47:00Z (Avatar (2009).mp4) ... $ stat *.mp4 ... "May 6 17:47:00 2024"...

Naming and organizing your Movie files says /Movies/MovieName (release year)/MovieName (release year).ext so that's the official Plex naming standard for all accounts and purposes: /Movies /Batman Begins (2005) {tmdb-272} Batman Begins (2005) {tmdb-272}.mp4 :idea: Keep in mind that support for {tmd...

You cannot. Name (Year) is the naming standard.


You can however use your own custom format if you don't want to adhere to the Plex naming standard:

Thanks for the file paths. I can now reproduce the issue: $ filebot -find . Movies/Draguse or the Infernal Mansion 1976.mp4 nice/weed/Draguse or the Infernal Mansion 1976.mp4 $ filebot -rename -r . --db TheMovieDB -non-strict --action TEST --log INFO Movie not found: Movies/Draguse or the Infernal M...

The command above does what you need. You'll have to create one command for each input folder / custom format. The custom format can be read from an external file to avoid complexity on the command-line. You'll also want to add --output to move / rename files into a different target folder. e.g. fil...

yes to the second, rename new files in a folder as a task, i am just a little confused as I have 3 different folders, with 3 different formats. I maybe just over thinking it. You'd just have 3 slightly different filebot commands, one for each input folder / custom format. e.g. filebot -rename -r &q...

:?: Do you mean to unify your 3 formats into one single smarter format that will give you the target file path you want depending on the file at hand? :?: Do you mean to use the filebot command-line tool and then set up some sort of automation to rename files in the above given folders as part of a ...

Yes. You can use apt to install filebot on any Ubuntu / Debian machine: https://www.filebot.net/linux/apt.html :idea: Debian is the most popular Linux platform. The Raspberry Pi 4 is standard aarch64 CPU architecture. You will not have compatibility issues running standard software for years and dec...

Movie type Anime were never supported via search, i.e. search-by-name would never find them. The ID lookup worked unofficially because FileBot just used to use the given ID as-is to fetch the series information / episode list without any additional checks, like with any other AniDB series. That wor...

It has been requested a number of times, but usually for a perfectly reasonable "downloads / complete / temporary / etc" sorta folder name that is best added to the list for the benefit of all. But if you could link other related threads here for context that would be helpful. /nice/pro /n...

I would recommend upgrading the the latest version. FileBot 4.7.9 is unchanged since 2017. I haven't run tests or debugged the code since. Probably mostly doesn't work anymore. The offline features probably age a lot better than online features. :idea: Here's what I get with the latest release: $ fi...

If you post file paths then we'll have a look, run tests, and see how to best approach the issue. The solution may be what you suggest. The solution may be something else, e.g. only consider folders up to a certain configurable depth, or not at all. Depending on the issue at hand. By providing test ...

You can rename music files like so: $ filebot -rename *.flac --db ID3 --format '{artist} - {t}' Rename music using [ID3 Tags] [MOVE] from [14.
