FileBot

Hi everyone,

I have been using FileBot for nearly 2 years now, and I have to admit it's been amazing to sort series/anime/movies etc.

I have read a post that you can use a script to find missing episodes for your series/anime, but the problem is I do not know how to do it, I don't even know how to run a script or where to start.

Could anyone please be so kind and explain to me how do it? Step by step would be appreciated

First, we need to differentiate between using filebot on the command-line (i.e. writing cmd script that calls filebot and maybe other tools) and filebot scripting (i.e. writing a Groovy script that is executed by filebot). The former is a generic power user skill unrelated to FileBot specifically. The latter is a much more specialized Groovy programming skill, and probably not relevant to your particular scripting needs.


Your journey starts with Googling "how do i use the command-line". Familiarizing yourself with CMD a bit first is always a good idea, even if your use case effectively boils down to (1) opening CMD, (2) copy & pasting one line, and (3) hitting enter.
