Hmmm... nope, I wasn't looking at external files; I assumed it would identify embedded subs. That's what I'd like to do now - add a format to flag files with subs in them - as I convert a large library, I'm adding embedded subs, but would like to identify if they already exist. I'm not expecting to ...

Red, I'm stuck again... The {subt} binding is coming back as UNDEFINED. I have not tried it before, so it's not 'broken now' as I don't know if it would have worked for me before. My Filebot program files are dated 4/20/16, which the current installation creates. The JAR file is the current one I do...

I'd thought about using the airdate, but it seems some specials aren't considered season-related by date, and are associated with a season by content - i.e. a 4th-season special relating to a season 2 plotline, can be listed as a Season 2 Special, but has a Season 4 airdate. If I get into that, I ma...

Code: Select all

{allOf{s00e00}{'S'+season.pad(2)+'E'+special.pad(2)}.join(' - ')}

However, it may not work with the latest revision. The new TheTVDB API doesn't support the airs-before/after-season data yet.

It doesn't work at the moment, but I'll keep it in mind.

Thanks as always!

In this case, "Specials named as Season 0", refers to the filename as you can see by the 'S00E'+special.pad(2) part. It does not refer to the season folder name as is clear by the {episode.special ? 'Special' : 'Season '+s} part. I'm kind of stuck on the new bindings, too, for season/epis...

How I suppose to know this?: {n.colon(' ')} - {s00e00} - {t.colon(' ')} :) Anyway Thank you, but formula don't work in all situation: http://i68.tinypic.com/sg7kuq.png Any suggestion to improve? Howdy, V_U_N: The "colon" binding above simply removes that one character - a colon - and repl...

Once again, thanks for the quick replies... 1. If you mean 'run the files through FB to bring back the original names (such as simply using fn.after ); then run them through FB again to add my custom format', that's what I've been doing for months - I was hoping I could do something within the forma...

Thanks for the tip - the fn.after is easier than what I was doing with substrings... And, I was not aware of the F2-edit function & manual over-ride for the New Names as per the linked post - this is great! However, I may not have been clear above - I still want to use my formatting to rename to...

Almost there... and only took a year... :) OK - I've made my format more complex, incorporating exceptions as I come across them, and then simplified it somewhat as I've learned more... Thanks to Red for adding the Presets feature recently; that's a major improvement for me (for the way I collect me...

Thanks - I've been doing tests, and still can't quite figure this one out... I also have another concern, related to it. I have recently combined several episodes together, but cannot show an episode title with more than 2-at-a-time: -i.e. S01E01-E02 works fine (as does S01E05-E06 or similar)... but...

I've been away from here for a while, and haven't really touched my format for a while, but I'm just now using AVIDemux to combine multiple-file, multiple-part episodes (i.e. S01E01, XXX Part1 - combine with S01E01, XXX Part2) to have a single file named S01E01-E02, XXX. I've found a problem with 2 ...

I have just one more thing to do on my Movie Format; I want to use a CSV to rename movie titles, but I'm not finding a way to get this done. I've done it with several other fields, but cannot get the name. Simple Version: >>-- this is the start of the MOVIE_FORMAT definition, with opening curly brac...

Filebot only pulls data from the dbases and allows you to massage it; if the dbase format is 'unusual' then FB won't have much chance of working around it. By 'unusual', I include these 'half-shows', which are typically entered as 2 episodes on the same day - Monsters vs Aliens is one that plagued m...

I've identified a limit to the GUI buffer of about 8,000 characters. Perhaps there is a limit to the 'extended' buffer of external files as 'included' in the format. I can only suggest until red comes in: count the characters in the format & CSVs & see if it suggests anything... Can you find...

The issue i'm having now is: Using mapping (to correctly label 3D movies) i'm having issues, matching 'hou' but not also matching 'house' the map= as far as I can tell, really doesn't like regex, which is too bad, cause it'd be much easier to do: Correct - a map is a literal translation of X to Y -...

I'm just updating my own downloads now... and assume you're talking about the same download as I just found. I'll now guess (it's still a guess!) that it's because the filename (which I didn't notice in your post) is "for.eh.ver.114" and not "forever.114" or "forever.us.114&...

I don't use the CLI scripting, so this is just a shot in the dark: theTVDB added a show called Forever more in the last couple of days/weeks, presumably since the last episode download - perhaps(!!!!) your script is confused because it has another show with the 'main' name Forever , to search throug...

A few things i've noticed have Square brakcets added like: {info.SpokenLanguages.displayLanguage} which shows as: [English] also {genres} shows: [Drama], [Drama, Fantasy], etc I have tried several things for the last couple hours, from: .replace(), to .replaceAll(), to .replaceTrailingBrackets(). e...

I "think" you mean this post, where I needed to find if a list item existed, in a specific order:
http://www.filebot.net/forums/viewtopic ... 263#p13498
Maybe you can use that as a baseline...

Many thanks for the link, rednoah, It does not seem to be that easy. So you manually have to check each absolute espisode number against the relative number and sort each episode manually, if I am right. Many thanks again. I think what you're left with is a manual rename. Filebot is just using the ...

Oh. that sucks. I was thinking that would be a great way to keep a catalog of my videos. that would get updated everytime i used it rename/organize files. oh well. thank you anyways. I'm now using the MediaIndex feature in a batch file to run the collection overnight (due to the time it takes for t...

EDIT - I seem to have resolved this (a few hours later) by using a tilde instead of a curly bracket for each side of the string; and using indexOf and lastIndexOf to distinguish them. This is a workaround, not a solution, though. My need here, was to use a character (or sequence of characters, whic...

Feature Request: Multi-format GUI The ability to select up to several different formats for a given type (i.e. episode, movies...) would be great! I use my format with, or without, folders (depending on the collection), and have to switch between them regularly. In this case, it's easy to dump/comm...

Beautiful! ...and very, very useful to see the code!

I now "THINK" I have everything I need for my 99.9% !!

I must run the collection once more to catch any oddballs, but thank you so much!!
Will share when ready...

Hey, elgallo - FB has the capability of (almost) endless customization, so those who decide to perfect their naming schemes through a tool, rather than manually, have an opportunity to do so. That's why the program exists. If you really need/want only a basic renamer, there are lots of other apps ou...
