Hello, I need some further assistance please.
What should I do now? How can I correct FB's decision here?
FB didn't ask for selecting the appropriate title...

So in my case it is the best Option to not touch the text field‘s content and click always OK, so that FB will prompt when there is no uinique match?

Pic 1:
Can you explain me please what's happening when hitting CANCEL or OK ?
For some movies the movie selection dialog appears after that, for some not.

Edit: how to post a screenshot?

Got it now!

- no xattr information stored in my case, nothing and nowhere
- filling the left list and shift-clicking TheMovieDB will prompt the movie selection dialog for each title
(still a lot of work for 5k files, but I'll give it a try)

I know what a shift click is
But WHERE exactly do I have to do it?

Thank you. Got it with xattr

How about
„Icon SHIFT-CLICK <database>“
?

Can you give me some assistance please?

xattr means that FB writes Information directly into the file itself?

„Icon SHIFT-CLICK <database>“

Did not tried it because I can‘t find it. Sorry

With it sucks, I meant it is not practicable to manually edit 5k files. Update: FB won‘t prompt when passing „Coma.mkv“ without year. FB still picks wrong match. I have to manually edit the file‘s attributes to find the correct version. Is there any feature, that FB will produce any kind of log for f ...

„, but there are benefits to doing the work after matching when everything is ready.„

I don‘t know what you mean. Can you explain please?

Thank you for your fast reply!

So sadly there is no way to move FB to making suggestions more early when there are multiple matches?

Manually fixing kind of sucks - So I have to assume that my entire library is miss-matched by default and I need to double-check everything…

Hello, accidentally found strange behavior: Trying to rename Coma (2019).mkv .. But always getting wrong tmdb id. Filebot always fetches: https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/1409360-coma Instead of: https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/430155 Renaming it to Coma (20 20 ).mkv works, but is in my case no ...

Hello everyone. Just updated my Syno to DSM7 today. Now I'll get this error: Permission denied: /volume1/xxx/xxx/xxx No files selected: [/volume1/xxx/xxx/xxx] * Consider using --file-filter "true" to disable your file filter -remo EDIT: Seems to be good now. The above error occured when running as ...

Got it.

Is there also a way to count the results?

Done.
Thank you very much for your incredible support!!!

One more thing to make my analyze scripts as useful as possible:

is the also a way for filebot/mediainfo to detect embedded text-based subtitles?

-remo

Here's my entire code. I want to share my snippets for everyone who is interested in: // general file info filebot -mediainfo -r . --filter "hd != 'HD' || vf != '1080p' || ext != 'mkv' || vc != 'x264' || af != '6ch'" --format "{fn} === {hd} - {vf} - {ext} - {vc} - {af}" // audio stream name filebot ...

Thank you!
with single ' ... ' instead of double " ... " did the Job!

Got everything working so far. But I am not able to filter for files which have null or empty mediaTitle tag. Even after reading viewtopic.php?t=1895 multiple times and trying a lot. Something like this would be nice: filebot -mediainfo -r . --filter "mediaTitle.size() < 1 || !mediaTitle" --format ...

Thank you very much! This works great! But, now I ran into another issue: How can I catch the case when a movie file does not have set {mediaTitle} ? Let's say when it's null or empty . My --filter statement only works when {mediaTitle} is already embedded in the file content ( != null ). Short: I ...

I’ll try to describe it in another way: When opening a movie file in Mediainfo on my Mac, there is a field labeled „Filename“. This field contains a string written into the movie file‘s metadata by MKVtoolNix - usually I do this manually. Can FileBot CLI read out that field/property? The FileBot GUI ...

Ok, no way.

Another idea:
does f or fn have any attribute which contains the "" property (Mediainfo-App, "" Property)

-remo

Great. Got it so far.
One more thing:
Is there any possibility to check if the current filename matches a specific format?

Kind of:
—filter „fn != {plex.name}“

??

Is there also any binding to determine wether the movie‘s source is bluray or hdtv or web?

Thank you. I‘ll give it a try.
