if there's still a problem with starting into the CLI, which could very well be (i only test on my windows machine :P), try running the jar directly:

In the CLI you can force the series/query via the --q option. In the GUI there is two ways: 1. SHIFT-CLICK the datasource to force manual series/query input 2. Fetch episode list in "Episodes" panel and than drag-n-drop everything to the "New Names" list btw if there's a nfo file...

Forgot to add caching to the banner requests, update to r777 and it'll be noticable faster! The scripting is part of the CLI and it's gonna run like any other shell/batch script. There'll be no GUI. If FileBot starts into the GUI then there's something wrong with the cmdline args. This one definitel...

hi, any help is welcome :) btw i got something for ya ;) * Sample script for purging orphaned nfo / jpg / etc files => http://filebot.sourceforge.net/data/shell/cleaner.groovy * Sample script for fetching thetvdb banners => http://filebot.sourceforge.net/data/shell/banners.groovy These two scripts r...

Can't xbmc do that once files are perfectly renamed? I simply don't have the time to support each and every HTPC meta data format. Doesn't seem like it's something I want to pack into the GUI, but I'll a CLI script might be feasable. Imho best solution is find a format / folder structure that XBMC c...

Try running with a console and check the log. Start with C:\Program Files\FileBot\filebot.cmd. Does download work via manual search (using the search box)?

@Deprecated Whatever it is you're trying to do, these scripts here are probably not a good solution, and the amc script (hourly with --def excludeList) is always the best option for any sort of automation task. :idea: Almost all downloaded applications support calling a command-line tools on comple...

Alright, the updated msi will install a shortcut for running with platform-independent look. At least for FileBot this problem is fixed now.

Added another example groovy script on how to keep running as daemon and continuously keep checking for new files to rename: filebot -script "http://filebot.sourceforge.net/data/shell/housekeeping.groovy" <completed downloads folder> Source: http://filebot.sourceforge.net/data/shell/housek...

Thanks alot! But EVA? As in Neon Genesis Evangelion?

I'm studying in China this year!~ Internet is crap and I get exams for Chrismas, but otherwise it's good!

It's different on every system... Windows, KDE, Gnome, OSX... but for Windows XP check here => http://filebot.sourceforge.net/gallery.html#screenshots/original/panel.rename.png I'll just upload new installers that add the nimbus launcher. It'll be a "silent update". My "DeployBot"...

Because now I know what the problem is and how to fix it...

Here's a new .exe launcher that will start FileBot with Nimbus L&F: Just copy it into the FileBot install folder, replace "filebot.launcher.exe" if you want. I'll add this to future installers.

again, you're reading my mind, wait a few minutes, i'll create another launcher.exe

p.s: this should be implemented nonetheless into future versions automatically :) Problem is that I do want to use the System Look, it looks better, on all platforms. If it wasn't for your customized theme it would just work out of the box. :P I'll file a bug for Java, but those kinda bugs usually ...

Yep, kinda. Looks like you can read my mind!

Just change "Start in" to wherever FileBot is installed.

No need, when u get the "New Shortcut" wizard you can just paste javaw.exe -Dswing.systemlaf=javax.swing.plaf.nimbus.NimbusLookAndFeel -Dapplication.deployment=msi -Xmx256m -jar "FileBot.jar" and windows will look it up automatically (it's in system32 actually). After the wizard ...

Ups, that field is called "Start in".

I mean create a Windows shortcut. Right-click desktop => Create Shortcut => paste the line from above (javaw ...)

Should look like this:

You can manually search for shows in Episodes panel. If you can't find it there, auto-lookup sure won't work neither.

Here's how to set the property via a startup link (launch without console):

Create link to: and set working directory to:

Check to video tutorial for how it works: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zcSFKiwFLZw But I guess u already got how it works. Does it just not display any matches? The list to the right should display the proposed names. Just checked anidb and it's up and running. Is anidb connectable from your locat...

how in hell would i add a d property? -.-' in the directory atm of filebot Change C:/Program Files/FileBot/filebot.cmd to this: @ECHO OFF java -Dswing.systemlaf=javax.swing.plaf.nimbus.NimbusLookAndFeel -Dapplication.deployment=msi -Xmx256m -jar "%~dp0FileBot.jar" %* And then just use fil...

That's just normal output. Lot's of stuff will be logged but u can ignore everything as long as it works.

unusual theme? what does that have to do with what theme i use ? -.-' I guess when Java is trying to copy the Windows look it's trying to copy data that's not defined in your theme. Wonder why none of the Java people bothered to fix that bug yet. This affects all Java GUIs that use the Windows look...

I'm checking to see if there's a way to set that Java property permanently.
