After going through a mess of manual matching I am getting a dialogue saying there are conflicting files where there aren't any. Foe example, here is one I copied from here: https://drive.google.com/uc?export=download&id=18JzKrDmpcwtyERkPMpNAueZKJsfuREZ6 javax.swing.ImageIcon@5bb5512d Duplicate ...

FYI. I tried this on another Mac using 10.13.4 as well and running FileBot 4.7.19 (5305) and I am having the same issue with the focus jumping around as seen in https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H9p1NWW5yUg

Regarding "FAQ #1" above, was able to get shift-click and force match with Rifftrax with helped and while there were a number of titles that didn't get resolved, I am figuring out how FileBot makes its matches and am finding that it's easier to edit the titles of the original files or cont...

So is --action hardlink the only way to get something close to --dry-run with Runbot? I can appreciate this approach as it at least doesn't touch the source files, but it still creates stuff which might pollute existing libraries if you make a mistake and write files to locations with existing media...

Also, regarding the CLI, I was reviewing your doc page https://www.filebot.net/cli.html and I don't see a way to do a "dry run". I figure this is going to be a lot of trial and error so doing simulations for testing is going to be critical. Is this possible? I see lots of posts in the foru...

Had some troubles using the thingy that selects the target directory for renaming: https://youtu.be/7usbMiYQLt0

The adventure continues...

When you last replied, I was still assembling my previous update with all of those screenshots. (I didn't realize how much of a PITA using Google Drive would be for hosting images- I should have just put them on Imgur... crazy how they make it so difficult to do the most basic stuff. You need to go...

I am glad there is another way, because aside from being cumbersome, it was not even working. Maybe a bug? Anyway? When I was manually matching some files they would "disappear" moving, where the same pattern worked for other files. Here are the screen caps: 1) I wanted to just rename ONE ...

SoI am just doing the files one at time with a single match but there are problems. 1. While the .mkv file worked fine, trying the same one the .nfo file sent the file to god knows where. Revert doesn't work or can it find it. Since the bottom pain of the revert window doesn't expand I can't see the...

Also, it doesn't look like you can enable "hidden" folders in the file selector in "Input Folder" and "Includes" when trying to set up a preset.

So what does "Do select files" and "Use orignal files" selection actually do differently? I think I missed that explanation.

I thought I described it pretty clearly and mentioned that it was Rifftrax. Since I found the screenshots in the documentation not that helpful for their lack of verbage, I assumed it would be just as cryptic to try rely on that for you. Sorry that you feel that it wasted your time. Anyway It's all ...

Here is the video in Vimeo. It's about 5 minutes. I hope it clarifies the rudimentary problems I am having.

I tried to get it in screen shots so I just made a movie instead, but of course none of MacOS's share integration from quicktime play actually works, at least not for YouTube or Vimeo. I normally use Monosnap but it is misbehaving. Basically, aside from all of the other problems, the big one is how ...

So what is "List" for? Anyway, this is not working out so well. I am trying to manually match episodes of Rifftrax which simply do not match correctly. The folder is full of episodes with the usual mix of junk in them, namely samples, info files, and so on. I am trying to match the episode...

Thanks so much for all of that very helpful advice. I will see how I do and get back to you as it gives me a lot of ideas.

What I am trying to do first is start with a "cleanup" of my existing and vast collection of organized but poorly named media so that Plex will automatically load the metadata for each title without a struggle. I am finding that Plex has gotten more "picky" about following its na...

Yes, having to deal with a source -> destination situation was something I was trying to avoid. Looks like that's not an option. Good to know about the cleaner script as well. I think trying to do this on the command line is going to work a lot more easily for me as that's more how I think. The GUI ...

So when FileBot moves my media to neatly arranged folders and files, the remainder of the stuff (samples and other junk) as well as the old folders remain. Is there some way to just have that stuff either carried over or thrown our? I assume filters does this, but I cannot figure out how any of the ...

Wow, so it's a separate app then... okay. Now that I have it working to the extent that it works, is there some way to have it invoked automatically from FileBot or do I have to script it to work? How about so it only downloads SRTs for files that don't already have that SRT already as part of the m...

Never mind, I see that for macOS you need this I guess: viewtopic.php?f=12&t=3350

I am in the process of fixing my existing library which is a mish-mash of names and I am finding a lot of features missing, don't make sense, or require repetitive configuration. The media is on a NAS and I am using a macOS machine to access the files over CIFS. Here is what I have so far: I tried t...

In the intro as well as the pictogram slides there is clear implication that FileBot allows you to download subtitles for your media. The intro pictures that just have numbers (and no instruction) even have an icon for an entire Subtitles function which simply is not present in the version I bought ...
