Problem getting latest filebot

Post by visu »

Hello users. I want to download the latest version, which is actually FileBot 4.7.12
but cant decompress the gpg file. the command tool didnt help. may someone can provide this version?

I want to use the latest because of a mistake with folders when I change it from C:\ to my external it convert it to D:\bladfdfdf\C:\movies\ which didnt work for sure. And I like beta software.

Best regards, Visu

You download it. Verify the signature. Extract the xz archive. There's another thread with all the details. Search for "GPG".

The following words in your search query were ignored because they are too common words: gpg.

No way to just download the updated jar file? Thats complicated. Expect I sucked with the gpg tool.

Google "filebot gpg" then. ;)

I recommend using the update-filebot.sh bash script to update to the latest jar.

Youre right!

I downloaded th gnu4win, installed it, open my cmd and paste
gpg --recv-keys 4E402EBF7C3C6A71
and he says that he dont find any keyserver.
I switched into the gnupg folder with a gpg.exe and did the same with the same error.
Why so complicated?

EDIT: Aaaaah I seee!
1: gpg --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 4E402EBF7C3C6A71
2: gpg --trusted-key 4E402EBF7C3C6A71 --output FileBot.jar.xz --decrypt FileBot.jar.xz.gpg

EDIT2: After line 2, there is no FileBot.jar.xz shown and decompress didnt work.
I tested it with xz --decompress FileBot.jar.xz and gpg xz --decompress FileBot.jar.xz
with gpg xz decompress FileBot.jar.xz and then I give up.

Really, I love FileBotbut this complicated way is pure crap!
I stoped it now, because its wasted time. Please make it possible that users simply can download a simple update even its a beta! Its useless to crypt it!

Sorry for the inconvenience. But the jar is used for automatic updates so it has to be digitally signed to prevent potential attackers from replacing the jar with arbitrary code.


2.
You could try bash for Windows. I just tried and it works out of the box:
  1. Download portable package
  2. Open portable folder with bash and run update-filebot.sh
This is the easy way to do it. I've never tried what you're doing.
