The Format field does expand with the window, but the File Filter field does not.

That is not the behavior I’m seeing in the current signed macOS PKG release, FileBot 5.2.3 (r10990).

The File Filter field remains approximately 1–2 lines high:

* adding additional lines does not increase its height;
* resizing the Preset window vertically does not increase its height.

The Format ...

The Format editor correctly expands as the Preset Editor window is resized, but the Files → File Filter editor remains fixed at only about one or two visible lines regardless of the window size.

For simple filters this isn’t an issue, but more advanced Groovy filter expressions quickly become ...

If you mean xattr metadata then you can check that easily via Filter tool. You can also use the Set Attributes menu item which is only there if the file at hand as xattr metadata.

You can enable full debug logging to see all the HTTP request / response messages via the advanced settings.

However, you have a fundamental network connection error, maybe a DNS issue, maybe *.fanart.tv servers being down or blocked by your ISP, etc. You would have to use something like wireshark ...

I.E. if the file is "Star Trek - Deep Space 9 - S01E01.mkv" apply the TV filter. If it's "Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan (1982)", apply the Movie Filter. When I process multiple files, today I do 2 separate passes. First I ...

... no file extension but are media files for which the container format / file extension can be determined, and then rename the files with proper file extension:
$ filebot -rename -r /path/to/input --file-filter "none{ ext } && cf" --db file --format "{fn}.{cf}" --action TEST
[TEST] from [a] to [a.mkv]

e.g. find all video files that do not have a corresponding NFO file:

... I'm not sure how to do that within the context of the jlesage/filebot container, but as far as plain filebot commands are concerned, the --file-filter option will do the trick.




If it was a non-match, move it to the defined location as in my script?

GUI
Presets allow you to set a default input folder from which files are loaded. An additional file filter expression allows you to select only specific files from that default input folder.


e.g. select only video files:

:idea: If you must use FileBot Node, and if you are fairly technical, then the --file-filter and --filter could conceivably be used to coax the amc script into matching up these "movie" 1-4 files with the special episodes 1-4, but I'd ...

I tried applying a filter in the format option in the WebUI but that doesnt change anything, this was my setting:

I've been using the Filebot Filter to drop a bunch of new files, sort by the subtitle format, and set those files in Vidcoder manually, but it can be a hassle.

I'm now renaming new ...

Good thinking trying --filter as well. So what did the console output say for any one of your test runs?

... File Mode works the same for any file. If you drop subtitle files and video files then it'll work with that. If you only want to process video files then you need to only drop video files into the Original Files area. The Filter tool makes it easy to do just that.
