Thank you, that was actually very informative, I learned a lot about the presets thanks to this. I'm curious, under the 'Clean name' Preset is there a way to add a parameter to have it ignore certain things? like dashes(-), so that it leaves them in? Yes. You can not use clean() and instead have yo...

The {order} binding can be used to cross-reference and access different views of the same episode:

:?: Which specific series / episode are you working with? :idea: Note that t refers to the episode title according to the database and not the file name: $ filebot -list --db TheTVDB --q "Stargate SG-1" Stargate SG-1 - 1x01 - Children of the Gods (1) Stargate SG-1 - 1x02 - Children of the ...

:arrow: mediainfo-24.04-1.fc40.x86_64 is evidently broken. You may report the issue to the maintainer / developer with the stack trace above that narrows down the specific libmediainfo function that crashes the process. The issue may also be specific to some file. Trying with a variety of files to c...

The log suggest that libmediainfo is crashing the process: # A fatal error has been detected by the Java Runtime Environment: # # SIGSEGV (0xb) at pc=0x00007fbb407cacdd, pid=6687, tid=6965 # # JRE version: OpenJDK Runtime Environment Temurin-17.0.8+7 (17.0.8+7) (build 17.0.8+7) # Java VM: OpenJDK 64...

: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. 330280) 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...

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...
