Re: External .xattr and CRC32

I feel ambushed. Let's try thinking this way.... what "Use Case" would you have considered worthy of the effort required to add this feature? I have read on these forums that we can and perhaps should use crc32 to check for corrupt files routinely. I will continue to use crc32 in my filena...

Re: External .xattr and CRC32

:?: Do you need CRC32 metadata for any particular reason if the file name itself already contains the same information? If you must have .xattr/<name>/CRC32 files then you could probably auto-generate them with a custom script fairly instantly. At some point in the past it was suggested to make sur...

External .xattr and CRC32

Hi Red I have my .xattr data set to be saved externally as sidecar files. I am also using crc32 in my filename format. My format also copies files from Seed Drive to Plex Drive when renaming...

Re: Changes to ar binding - format no longer working

Can we revisit this :?: FileBot just passes along whatever MediaInfo can read from the file content, so maybe DisplayAspectRatio (decimal) might work better than DisplayAspectRatio/String (fraction) for your needs, and you can always add the ∶1 at the end: { video[0].DisplayAspectRatio + '∶1' } On t...

saving crc32 to xattr

I have a post download script that uses `crc32` for filenames. Since it's costly to run that while renaming files I was hoping FB would save that in xattr data alongside the metadata. Yet I don't see it in the .xattr directory: net.filebot.filename net.filebot.metadata I don't see it store inside th...

Code: Select all

Re: Changes to ar binding - format no longer working

I would rather the aspect ratios were all "Film" ratios and not intermixed with "TV" ratios but I guess this depends on the metadata in the file itself? 4:3 should be 1.33:1 5:3 should be 1.66:1 etc. I even see some ratios in metadata where instead of a ":1" there is a ...
