Fixing Java to get the CLI working (MAC)

[exa]

I'm on a Mac (Mavericks) and I'm trying to start taking advantage of some of the CLI scripts that have been shared here. Since I've only used the GUI version until now, I started by installing the latest build through homebrew, and then went to use filebot -script fn: to call one of the github hosted scripts.

This was the output:

Code: Select all

filebot -script fn:artwork.tmdb /Movies/Movies/                                                                                                                                                                   1 ↵ ──(Sun,Sep28)─┘

I searched the forum and found a similar output report (with a major.minor version 52.0) and assumed that I had the same problem and that my version of Java was incorrect. I used ` java -version ` with the following output:

Code: Select all

java -version                                                                                                                                                                                                     1 ↵ ──(Sun,Sep28)─┘

Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 20.65-b04-462, mixed mode)

Knowing that Java 8 is required I proceeded to download the latest java release for the Mac from Oracle and install, followed by a system restart. When I use the system preferences to access java control, the version is reported as v8 update 20 (build 1.8.0_20-b26).

With no change to the output of an attempt to call a script, I used filebot -script fn:sysinfo

Code: Select all

With the same result.

If my problem is clear to anyone here, I'd really appreciate advice on how to proceed!

Control Panel doesn't mean anything to Console, if java -version says Java 6 then you're still using Java 6. There's multiple threads here somewhere about this issue and how to fix it. Also, there's Google.

Aha; there's the fault in my understanding. The post you linked helped me solve the problem, I appreciate your taking the time to respond.
