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

This usually only happens, if the nfs drive was not mounted on trying to rename. You can access the drive and thus mount it and then hit rename in filebot for it to be okay.

:idea: File path validation will indeed flag : colon and friends. File paths that are known to exist will not be flagged ...

Perhaps this feature should be made more prominent or turned on by default?

This argument could be made for any of the post-processing features... I'm unsure about making any / all of them more prominent, since these features don't necessarily work for everyone under all circumstances ...

This post-processing script will process companion files based on custom code:

{ source, target ->
source.dir.listFiles{ f ->
// select Special Features and move them to a Featurettes subfolder (e.g. Jaws-SF_04_DS_Outtakes_t03.mkv)
if (f.video && f.name.findWordMatch(/SF/)) {
// move, copy ...

:?: Please paste sample file paths as text so we can try to reproduce the issue.


:idea: Processing S4 and S5 works just fine as far as I can tell:
$ filebot -rename S05E01.mkv --db TheMovieDB::TV --q 98123
[MOVE] from [S05E01.mkv] to [The Daily Life of the Immortal King - 5x01 - Birth of the ...

Export Original Files / New Names as TSV

A single per-user license is valid on all platforms and can be used on multiple machines.

Possible, but I've never seen season-level NFO files. Any information could instead be added to the series-level NFO or the episode-level NFO. If Plex devs would provide a season.nfo sample file then I could have a look.

As far as FileBot metadata is concerned, the season title is part of each ...

Makes sense to me. We can enforce the tvshow.nfo / movie.nfo standard naming by default.

:idea: Looks like you're renaming files ripped from a DVD or BD disk:
The Time Tunnel Disc 2_t00
The Time Tunnel Disc 2_t01
The Time Tunnel Disc 2_t02
The Time Tunnel Disc 2_t03
The Time Tunnel Disc 2_t04

:idea: 1x10 is in fact the correct primary SxE number for TheTVDB Episode ID 297998 - Objects in Space so it's not confusing at all that this SxE number is used for the NFO file. This is intended behaviour, so you always get the same NFO files regardless of your Episode Order preferences that you ...

I'm sorry, I'm not entirely getting your meaning.

It'll use the Episode ID to get the full episode record, including episode overview, actors, directors, etc. The xattr metadata serves only as key to lookup the complete episode record, which is then exported into the various NFO / XML elements ...

:idea: The episode numbers are correct according to the first 20 episodes on the episode list:
Star Wars: Clone Wars - 1x01 - Chapter I
Star Wars: Clone Wars - 1x02 - Chapter II
Star Wars: Clone Wars - 1x03 - Chapter III
Star Wars: Clone Wars - 1x04 - Chapter IV
Star Wars: Clone Wars - 1x05 ...

I can find no issue with multi-episode NFO files:
$ filebot -script dev:nfo *.mkv

:arrow: You'll want to use {primaryTitle} instead of {n} in your format, that'll give you the original movie / series name, that way you can process all the different movies from all the different countries / languages at once:
{ primaryTitle }


:idea: Alternatively, you could use the {localize ...

Yep, that would do it. {cf} would return fla for this file:
Format/Extensions : fla flac



:idea: I strongly recommend using {ext} to just grab the current file extension from the current file path. If you compare only {ext} and {media.Format} then {ext} would be infinitely faster since the file ...

:?: What does the MediaInfo table say for the file at hand?


:idea: Newer versions of FileBot use the Format/Extensions property. We need {cf} to return mkv and not Matroska hence the change. A change in behaviour for *.flac files (NOTE: both *.flac and *.fla are valid FLAC file extensions) would ...

Thanks again for the update. You may or may not have seen my updates on the plex forum thread. The plex developer has confirmed <uniqueid> requires default='true' to be present so the plex parser can match the id. So, <uniqueid type='tmdb' default='true'>858024</uniqueid> as an example. Is this ...

You can use filebot -script fn:sysinfo and if you see Script Bundle: 2026-02-08 (r1020) then it'll work. You can do filebot -clear-cache once to force a refresh.



UPDATE
The nfo script now includes all the relevant information that I found missing at glance:
https://github.com/filebot/scripts ...

I see. If you're using the nfo script then you're in luck. The code for that is not built-in so we can easily publish auto-updates for everyone.

I've already pushed the requested changes:
https://github.com/filebot/scripts/commit/86b8dbb01b33a705fb31629febf6e38e00f730fa

So if you try the same ...

:idea: So I had a quick look at the comments from the Plex staff. The missing <id> and <premiered> can be added easily. I've already updated the code.
