Re: Replace : colon with ∶ ratio

:!: Note that most software expects the file name and the database entry to match exactly. If you mess up the file name by replacing : colon with ∶ ratio then FileBot and any other 3rd party software may have trouble making sense of the file name in the future. :!:

The official answer is going to be clearly separating input / output folders, as well as clearly separating incomplete / complete download folders. e.g. /srv/media/Downloads/incomplete /srv/media/Downloads/complete /srv/media/Plex/Movies /srv/media/Plex/TV Shows You can then use -v /srv/media:/srv ...

Re: Specify Jellyfin refresh port in amc script

You can add :PORT after the HOST or IP bit: --def jellyfin="IP:PORT:API_KEY" :!: Note that you must use an IP if you want HTTP communication. If you specify HOST:PORT then FileBot will communicate on that port with HTTPS . e.g. HTTP --def jellyfin="192.168.1.100" e.g. HTTPS --def jellyfin="seedbox ...

Re: problem entering target drive and folder

My goal is to use Filebot to move files to another folder on the (same) server but another share. That sounds like a bad idea. Why not mount the common parent folder if the files are on the same NAS anyway? If you use separate shares, then Windows may end up downloading and uploading files just to ...

Why is this necessary? Because: Kodi itself won't parse VIDEO_TS or ISO (too slow), so it cannot "know" what all the subs are.
