The {group} binding matches known release group names from the current filename. This however only works by checking filename against known release groups and matching one if possible.

The list of release-groups known to FileBot is here:
https://github.com/filebot/data/blob/master/release-groups.txt

The list of recent changes is here:
https://github.com/filebot/data/commits/master/release-groups.txt

Release groups not in this lists will not be recognized by FileBot, so if you stumble across missing release groups post them here and I'll add them to the list. Please post lists of release groups line-by-line with official upper-case/lower-case spelling (e.g. aXXo) so I can easily merge them into the online list. FileBot will update its locally cached release group data from this online list once a week meaning this list is shared with all users.

Due to the timing between new data being published on the server-side once per week, and new data being requested on client-side once per week, it may take up to 2 weeks for new data to trickle down to all clients.

If you use {group} you will want to make sure that your expression still works as intended even if {group} is undefined. This can easily be done by making the separator characters part of the {expression} code, e.g.

Format: Select all

{ '.' + group }

You can minimize false positives with logic like this:

Format: Select all

{ n.findMatch(group) ? null : group }

You can match additional custom tags such as iNTERNAL from the file name:

Format: Select all

{ fn.match(/(?-i:iNTERNAL)/) }

If your files are already uniformly well-named, then you can directly match arbitrary release group names from the filename.

e.g. match -group at the end of the filename:

Format: Select all

{ fn.match(/[-]([^-]+)$/) }

e.g. match [group] at the beginning of the filename:

Format: Select all

{ fn.match(/^\[(.*?)\]/) }

e.g. match [group] at the ending of the filename:

Format: Select all

{ fn.match(/\[([^\[\]]+)\]+/) }

e.g. all of the above:

Format: Select all

{ any{ fn.match(/^\[(.*?)\]/) }{ fn.match(/\[([^\[\]]+)\]+/) }{ fn.match(/[-]([^-]+)$/) }{ group } }

You can use the filebot -mediainfo command to preemptively find files where {group} is undefined, and then extract the group names using the patterns above, so we can add them to the list.

e.g. print {group} for each file:

Shell: Select all

filebot -mediainfo -r /input --format "{ group } => { fn }"

e.g. find files for which {group} is undefined:

Shell: Select all

filebot -mediainfo -r /input --filter "none{ group }" --format "{ f }"

e.g. find files for which {group} is undefined, then match the likely group name via common patterns from from the file name, and finally print the result in unique sort order:

Shell: Select all

filebot -mediainfo -r /input --filter 'none{ group }' --format '{ any{ fn.match(/^\[(.*?)\]/) }{ fn.match(/[-]([^-]+)$/) } }' | sort -u

FYI, here are a bunch of groups that I've noticed are missing from filebot's list:

blueF
blueZilla
Chotab
DNR
ECI
EuchHD
EbP
EPiK
GFY
Haggis
HDC
HDChina
HOWL
HWD
HWE
Hype
iNGOT
KiNGS
MOTU
NFHD
NT
NTb
OSiTV
P0W4
PhoenixRG
PFa
POD
PiLAF
psig
PxHD
RANDi
REWARD
SAiNTS
shortbrehd
SURFER
t00ng0d
TB
TOPAZ

This is just a partial list off the top of my head, and some are obviously more widespread than others; but there are also more that I'm sure will show up later.

Is it possible for us to edit/create our own local group lists to override the global list? Even better is to keep the global list as it is (updating every 2 days), but to also merge it with a second list that's kept and maintained locally, by each user.

Here's some more for you:

SLOMO
Reaperza
Subject16
med
tpz
macro
tla
tantrum
phase
etach
sprinter
dvsky

Also I'm getting false positives on show and episode titles for groups names that are just common words, e.g. "west" and "red". Not sure what you can do about that.

Thanks! Added them to the list. WEST and RED are release groups, just deleted them for now. {group} will match the last occurance of any release group, e.g. "1x01 - Phase Red tpz" => "tpz"

Few more groups not in the list:

WAT
clue
runner
turkiso
rwd

Thanks.

I've just started using a modified version of your regex to match groups and it works great. Most files I have are in either "-group.avi" or "group-blahblah.avi" and this hits the target just about every time.

Here it is if anyone is interested:
