Also, it doesn't look like you can enable "hidden" folders in the file selector in "Input Folder" and "Includes" when trying to set up a preset.

[rednoah]

Original Files means that you load in your own files via Drag-n-Drop and the the Preset is applied to whatever files you have already loaded into FileBot.

Do select files will give you additional input fields, so you can do things like "Load all *.mkv files from D:/Downloads/Movies and then process them with TheMovieDB" so you don't have to drag the files into FileBot yourself every time.

Hidden files / folders are indeed ignored by default. The Filter option can only be used to Filter out files (e.g. non-mkv files) but it cannot be used to "filter in" files. If you have files in a hidden folder, then you can specify that folder directly, and then load all the non-hidden files within that folder into FileBot.

Since Apple does not allow command-line tools in the Mac App Store you will need to install the filebot console tools via brew even if you have already bought FileBot from the App Store.

Does installing the FileBot package using brew write over the AppStore Version? I notice it's installing into the Applications folder.

[rednoah]

No. Not if you follow the instructions above:

Code: Select all

brew cask install filebot --force --appdir=~/Applications

Hi, I have the Mac App Store Filebot and would like to install the command line tool, but I don't really want to install brew (I already have MacPorts). Is there any alternative? Is it possible to download the standalone filebot.jar file to run command line applications? Thanks.

[rednoah]

You can make it work manually by reading and understanding the brew cask formula, and then just download / extract / symlink things yourself as necessary:

-------------------- UPDATE AVAILABLE: FileBot 4.8 (r5280) ---------------------

Done ヾ(＠⌒ー⌒＠)ノ

(NOTE: I had to uninstall java 9 and install java 8 to fix some WARNING's that showed up originally)

[rednoah]

There is indeed no update for the CLI, but unfortunately the update notification code doesn't have support for different platforms having different latest revisions.

Is the Discord channel more active than the forums at this point? I don't have it yet, but I'll install it if the community has moved there.

[rednoah]

The forums are the best way to ask for help. Also, because Google will be able to find results from the forums. Discord is just for fun if you want to talk to someone in real time.

I registered specifically to thank you for this. Thank you!

[email protected]:~/Downloads# sudo dpkg -i filebot.deb
dpkg-deb: error: `filebot.deb' is not a debian format archive
dpkg: error processing filebot.deb (--install):

Any ideas why?

[rednoah]

This thread is outdated. The links above have not existed for a long time, so you have probably downloaded an HTML error page. You can use cat *.deb to check.

You can download the most recent deb package from the SF.net download section.

I installed from the Apple App Store and the GUI works fine.

I'm trying to get the cli working, but am having trouble getting it registered. I run

Code: Select all

filebot --license *.psm

and what appears to be the same GUI interface pops up and proclaims, as does the command line,

Code: Select all

License Error: UNREGISTERED

I've searched for this `psm` file, but haven't located it. Please help!

[rednoah]

TL;DR If you want to use the CLI, then you will need to ask Apple to refund your purchase ASAP, and purchase an FileBot cross-platform license instead.


1.
The Mac App Store does not support / allow command-line tools:
viewtopic.php?f=12&t=5983

The MAS version does not have a CLI.


2.
You seem to have installed [BETA] FileBot 4.8.2 (with support for all platforms with cross-platform license system) which is completely different and licensed separately from the Mac App Store version.

This version requires a license file and is completely separate from the Mac App Store. You will not be able to use your MAS purchase to unlock the non-MAS version of FileBot.

[rico]

Thank you for your response. I'll do as you suggest.

[rico]

The return went fine, but how do I purchase the CLI/cross-platform license? I installed it via homebrew per this thread.

[rico]

I found the link in another thread:
https://www.filebot.net/purchase.html#spk.

It works, now!

[eury]

Hi,
I installed Filebot but it doesn't open. What needs to be done ?

[rednoah]

What do you expect to happen when you click Open?

The FileBot package will install the filebot command-line tool. You have to login via SSH to run commands.

[hansooloo]

How can I actually write an if-then-else?

e.g.,
IF movie is part of a collection
name it `collection/plex`
ELSE
name it `plex`

If I use this

Code: Select all

{if (collection != null) {collection/plex} else {plex}}

I get this

Code: Select all

ExpressionException: No signature of method: java.lang.String.div() is applicable for argument types: (File) values: [Movies/The Purge (2013)/The Purge (2013)]
Possible solutions: div(java.lang.String), is(java.lang.Object), wait(), trim(), size(), find()

[rednoah]

1.
If you just want to add the collection in front of the plex path, then you don't need if-then-else:

Code: Select all

{collection+'/'}{plex}

If you want a default value if collection is undefined, the I'd write something like this:

Code: Select all

{any{collection}{'No Collection'}/{plex}

You can't check if collection == null because of theThe Unwind-on-Undefined Behaviour, meaning collection is never null, it's either not null, or it crashes the {expression}.


2.
However, the error message you posted is completely unrelated to if-then-else and just tells us that we can't use the / operator between a String object and a File object.

I bought filebot on mac appstore, 29EUR.... to discover now that some features are missing like subtitle management, and that I need to buy new licence ; I just try to find on your download page another way to donwload app except Mac or Windows store ; sounds impossible or at least non obvious
I feel...defrauded clearly

will for sure inform others on both stores

[rednoah]

1.
You can ask Apple / Microsoft for a refund if you're not happy with the product. Not much I can do if Apple decided not not allow subtitle tools some 2 years ago. The Windows Store version is fully featured.

2.
FileBot 4.8.2 (early access, in beta, not officially released yet) requires a license for the rename feature only. If you use it just for OpenSubtitles, then that'll work even without purchasing a license. The FileBot Subtitles for Mac is still available, but deprecated.

[brocagel]

Hi, thanks for the answer - product is ok anyway ; regarding subtitles I found FlixTools... magic
