{original} did indeed default to the current filename, but that made the binding less versatile and less well-defined and prone to misinterpretation. It can be a problem when a bindings work one way in one context, and another way in another context. :arrow: You can use {original} and explicitly de...

You can use {ny} and have FileBot take care of the Name (Year) pattern including all corner cases: {ny} Perry Mason (2020) You can use the {emby.id} format to have FileBot take care of everything: {emby.id} TV Shows/Perry Mason (2020) {tvdb-363026}/Season 01/Perry Mason (2020) - S01E01 - Chapter 1 T...

:?: Have you tried turning your computer off and on again? :idea: Since this is likely a generic MSI installer issue (the MSI contains FileBot files; but no FileBot code is running during installation; think zip archive) you may be able to Google the issue as well: https://www.autodesk.com/support/t...

The Mac App Store and Microsoft Store versions are usually released 2-3 weeks after the public release. The primary reason being that you can't choose to downgrade or rollback if the new version doesn't work for you for one reason or another. :arrow: You can however request a free complimentary 1-ye...

:idea: If your --filter is wrong, and excludes all possible matches, then not using a --filter at all is useful for finding the cause of the problem. That's all there is to the help message above. --filter true is effectively the same as not specifying a --filter at all. If FileBot auto-detection is...

You can drag all the files into FileBot and then use the {plex} format to generate new file paths with a standardized naming scheme for all files. The {plex} format will generate Specials folders for special episode files: X:/Media/{ plex.id } X:/Media/TV Shows/Alias {tmdb-2046}/Specials/Alias - S00...

I was using {-resolution} which gave e.g. "-1280x800", (which is the string shown at https://www.filebot.net/naming.html) but now gives nothing....

I've reported the issue to QNAP. Maybe they will fix it. Maybe not. More support requests from more users might convince them to do something about it. Node.js used to be available via the QNAP package center. But not anymore. Please make Node.js available via the QNAP package center again because I...

You are not using the latest image. Keep in mind that docker does not auto-update images, and images can't (or rather shouldn't) update themselves.


How do you manage your docker containers? Run docker on the command-line? Use some kind of WebUI management system like unRAID?

FileBot does not work with non-existent file paths. Older versions of FileBot just didn't validate input arguments. Newer versions reliably fail-fast instead of maybe kinda working maybe somehow failing, because a non-existent input file path typically indicates an accidental user error. :arrow: You...

The FileBot binary package was download from here: https://get.filebot.net/filebot/FileBot_5.0.1/FileBot_5.0.1-portable-jdk8.tar.xz A call to /media/sdu1/soonerlater/filebot-portable/filebot.sh confirms that filebot is indeed working: /media/sdu1/soonerlater/filebot-portable/filebot.sh -version File...

You're using the amc script when you should be using filebot -rename and call that with either --db TheMovieDB (force Movie Mode) or --db TheMovieDB::TV (force Series Mode) depending on the type, Movie or Series . You can of course use the amc script but you're just adding lots and lots complexity b...

1. Adding --filter twice does nothing. The option value that is used last is the one that is used. 2. This code does not do what you think it does. It merely reads the text file, so it'll return true if the text file is non-empty, and false if the text file is empty, and nothing else: lines '/home/p...

:arrow: You may contact QNAP customer support and ask them to provide the Node.js package again for your hardware platform. They seem to have removed some packages from the repository with a recent update. :arrow: You can try installing the Media Streaming Add-on because that package just so happens...

No worries. You had the right ideas. Just need some help with Groovy syntax for Ranges. I've added an example for this use case to the docs page.

Please copy & paste the complete command-line call, and ideally console output as well, so that we can see what you can see. :!: Consider using --filter "true" to allow at least one potential match means that your filter has excluded all possible matches, i.e. your filter does not work. filebot sugg...

Anytime the FileBot Desktop application comes up with bad matches, please do press the F7 keyboard key to copy file paths as text and then CTRL+V paste them here. That would be extremely helpful. Thank you.
