Extended Attributes / NTFS Alternate Data Streams is an optional file system feature. If you move / copy files around then xattr may get silently lost if the target file system does not support xattr or if the program doing the move / copy isn't aware of xattr.

:idea: Do files inside the given folders have xattr metadata ? The Rename Series Folders example assumes that the files inside those folders have previously been identified and renamed with FileBot, and thus have xattr metadata attached to each episode file. series.name doesn't work if we don't have...

Yes, but you would have to write your entire expression inside a single {...} returning one single normalized file path. :arrow: @files › Script Parameter Value happens to have a prime example for this kind of format expression: { [ allOf {ny} { allOf {vf} {group} } , allOf {ny} {'CD'+pi} {lang} ]*....

What was the database that was being used when I was ripping CDs back in the early 2000s? I don't think it was using acoustdb fingerprints. Was it Gracenote, maybe? That sounds right. That was easier, because you had a CD identifier, with which you could get the CD index online, which would then te...

A quick glance on the first ~5 and last ~5 matches show no issues. Can you point out at least on of the mismatches so that I don't have to sift through the log? EDIT: I found an "incomplete" match: [TEST] from [Max and Ruby_S03E07_Max's Fire Flies_Max & Ruby's Fashion Show_Ruby's Sing-...

e.g. { episodelist.size() != episodelist.findAll{ s == it.s }.e.max() ? absolute : null } :arrow: :arrow: Learn how {expressions} work and useful Helper Functions e.g. maybe you could just do "add absolute numbers to shows that have more than one season" though: { sc > 1 ? absolute : null }

This unfortunately is the real killer for me. If I can't manually lookup the ones that don't match, I don't know how I'll get metadata for the majority of music videos. This sounds like it's a limitation that can't be bypassed though. Is there a way to make acoustdb match on filename? Sorry, we don...

e.g. $ filebot -rename SpongeBob*.mp4 --format '{plex.name}' --db TheTVDB -non-strict --mapper 'any{ if (regular) episode.number(null).map(episodelist.findAll{ airdate == it.airdate && !it.special }.episode).reverse() }{ episode.number(null) }' --action TEST --log INFO [TEST] from [SpongeBob...

I realize that FileBot stores metadata as extended attributes, and it wouldn't be hard for me to write a script to take these extended attributes and create an NFO file from them. Unfortunately, xattr metadata is limited to Movie and Episode objects. AudioTrack objects are not stored to xattr for n...

I have lots of different shows I wanna rename, but some of them need matching for the multiple episodes because they're listed separately. For example SpongeBob is one. How can I do that? :arrow: You do know that I'm gonna ask for sample file paths by now, right? :lol: :arrow: In absence of you pro...

e.g. match /Badini/ from the file path: e.g. use the parent folder name:

Seems to be a generic Windows problem unrelated to FileBot specifically. Why can't a Task Scheduler job access a mapped network drive? You might get lucky with a general Google search. Please report back if you find a solution for the next guy who stumbles up this thread.

:idea: This file is to old as per --def maxAgeDays=21 and thus ignored: Ignore old: W:\Archer\Season 14\Archer S14E02 - 30 for 30.mkv :idea: This file already has English subtitles embedded inside the file itself from the very beginning, and you therefore don't need additional external subtitles, an...

The stack dump confirms that FileBot is stuck in a Windows system call, so there's nothing you or FileBot can do about it, the issue is an internal Windows bug / SMB file system driver bug that is perhaps caused by Nord VPN interfering the the TCP/IP stack in unexpected ways: java.lang.Thread.State:...

FileBot works with UNC file paths. Presumably you can use the IP instead of the hostname.
