f.dir.dir is simply "the parent folder of the parent folder of the file at hand" and that's it. If the file at hand is X:/A/B/C/D.txt then: f = X:/A/B/C/D.txt f.dir = X:/A/B/C f.dir.dir = X:/A/B f.dir.dir.dir = X:/A :idea: Your custom format therefore assumes a certain file structure. If the "the ...

Where is the extra folder path name coming from?

f is the current file path. f.dir is the parent folder of that and so on.

Maybe you need to do f.dir.dir.dir to capture the folder path you want from the original file path?

You could add {f.dir.dir} to the beginning of your format to generate exactly the absolute target file path you want. Note that you will also need to enable “Import companion files” if you want to process folders like “Featurettes” alongside their corresponding movie file. Note that you can also expl ...

Strange indeed. Maybe try with sudo? Maybe try on folder specifically not with -r? Maybe try -c? Maybe run a few tests to set / remove custom xattr on folders to see if that works?

You can set the scale factor via Settings ➔ Display ➔ Scale as shown below: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i1pqJoZ7-BY :idea: You may need to restart your computer / restart FileBot for the display scale settings to take effect. :idea: If Accessibility settings don't work, then they probably just do ...

:?: If you share sample file paths as text then we can run tests and give you more specific advice. :arrow: In general, the FAQ: How do I fix misidentified files? manual might have a solution for the task at hand. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dh2WXQSzgJA :idea: If you have inadvertently renamed ...

:!: Friends on TMDB doesn't match your files and none of the alternative episode orders match either as far as I can tell. :idea: However, Friends on TVDB (default Airdate Order) does seem to match your files exactly. :arrow: The easy solution is therefore to click on TheTVDB (make sure that you ...

:?: Which database and episode order are you using? (Note that FileBot does not support IMDB and so IMDB series / episode information is never the authoritative source of information. If you're using Plex / Jellyfin / etc then your library settings decide which database is being used.) :?: What are ...

I’m thinking that when i use filebot to rename and find metadata with movies and tv shows without any metadata embedded in there files Yep, for Movies and TV Shows we have very extensive support for fetching additional information that is exposed to scripting as well. Perhaps filebot could do the s ...

:idea: Yes, assuming that we know all the information you want to put into these *.nfo files, but we would have to create a Custom Post-Processing Scripts first. Maybe something like Generate custom NFO files will get you started. :!: One potential issue that I could foresee is that FileBot doesn't ...

:idea: You can do the same thing in different ways: {n} ({y}) { n + ' (' + y + ')' } { "$n ($y)" } $ is notably not used for variables. $ is however used in "string values" for String interpolation . :idea: {ny} is a convenience binding for Name (Year) . {ny} notably ensures that you don't end up ...

:idea: If your format generates a file name (and not a file path) then FileBot will rename the file in place: { ny.colon(' - ') }{ " {tmdb-$tmdbid}" }{ " {edition-$edition}" }{ " [$vf, $vc, $ac]" } Avatar (2009) {tmdb-19995} [1080p, x264, AAC] :idea: Alternatively, if you choose to organize files ...

We prefer the How do I open the Debug Console / Groovy Pad? approach since it works the same on all platforms. The System Information output will include version / revision / license information / update information / etc. We could look into replacing the default macOS About dialog and instead open ...

The action.paste Recent Formats button (the icon is supposed to be a clipboard) will remember recently used formats (for the currently selected mode; previous Episode formats will not show up in File mode) so you can quick switch. It'll only remember the most recent handful of formats though. I'd ...

I see. Yep, this menu allows you to open the Format Editor (where you edit your custom format) before loading any files into FileBot. In the past it just opened in Episode Mode by default. I guess we only recently made that more aware of the current context with the latest release last month. The ...

I see. Yep. That’s just startup logging that mirrors the input file set. You can change the log level to INFO if want mostly only the from -> to file path logging. :idea: xattr metadata is stored for each target file path so you can later re-process previously organized files . If you hardlink files ...

:idea: I see the problem. You are editing the Episode Format which is used when formatting Episode type items. However, your Episode Format is not used when formatting non-Episode type items. You are using Plain File Mode and are thus formatting File type items and thus your File Format is used ...

:idea: I have read the log you posted and as far as I can tell, due to --q 48866 , all files are now matched and named correctly: … Fetching episode data for [48866] * The 100 [48866] | 100 episodes | 1x01-13 .. 2x01-16 .. 3x01-16 .. 4x01-13 .. 5x01-13 .. 6x01-13 .. 7x01-16 … [TEST] from […/The 100 S ...

If the default font cannot display characters in your preferred language, then you may configure a custom font in the Advanced Settings . https://i.snipboard.io/PpklTz.jpg :idea: e.g. use the Leelawadee font: net.filebot.theme.font=Leelawadee net.filebot.theme.font.size=12 filebot -script fn ...

I ran a few tests and I'm now able to reproduce the issue myself as well: $ filebot -rename forradarna*.mkv --db TheTVDB -non-strict --lang Swedish Rename episodes using [TheTVDB] with [Airdate Order] Lookup via [] [forradarna] No episode data: [forradarna] Failed to identify or process any files ...

Whatever files I load on the left, when I press F2 on the blank right side, it just populates the same files that are on the left. That sounds a bit like you're still using {fn} as format and not the custom format that I wrote for you. :arrow: Please show me a screenshot that shows (A) Original ...

What I want to do, is have Filebot rename the *media* file to match one of the .srt files for that same season/episode? :idea: This screenshot shows the media file in row 5 about to be renamed to the name of the subtitle file in row 4. The same logic is applied to all files in fact. I just so ...

Good thinking trying --filter as well. So what did the console output say for any one of your test runs? :idea: Here's what I get: $ filebot -script 'fn:amc' input --output output --action TEST -non-strict --order Airdate --conflict auto --lang en --def 'music=y' 'unsorted=y' 'skipExtract=y ...
