I would like to use filebot without it pulling information from mediainfo. All required information will be in the file name. Is this possible?

Yes, you can. Just write a format that matches whatever you'd like from the filename.

Sorry, let me further clarify. In the source file It will have bluray, resolution, audio codec, etc. I would like filebot to pick this up instead of going with mediainfo, because it will use some of this information for the destination file name. Is that possible?

Yes, but it’s up to your format how you’re gonna extract that information from the file name:
viewtopic.php?t=2072

Let's say we have a file like this:

Code: Select all

Avatar.2009.XYZ.mp4
Then we can just grab whatever comes after the year part like this:

Code: Select all

{fn.after(/\d{4}/)}
And get this:

Code: Select all

.XYZ
