Filebot v4.5.3 (r2729) Stopped working

[trumpy81]

I have Filebot v4.5.3 (r2729) installed on my Windows 8.1 Pro machine and I am using this script in uTorrent v3.4.2 (build 37248):

Code: Select all

filebot -script fn:amc --output "H:/Downloads/!Organised" --log-file amc.log --action copy --conflict override -non-strict --def music=y clean=y "ut_label=%L" "ut_state=%S" "ut_title=%N" "ut_kind=%K" "ut_file=%F" "ut_dir=%D"

In the middle of downloading a list of files filebot simply stopped working. Instead of running the script it pops up a file explorer window that points to the install folder. I get this error if I start filebot.exe from C:/Program Files:

Code: Select all

Dec 25, 2014 2:46:45 PM java.util.prefs.WindowsPreferences <init>
WARNING: Could not open/create prefs root node Software\JavaSoft\Prefs at root 0x80000002.
Windows RegCreateKeyEx<...> returned error code 5.

If I try to run the above script in CMD I get this:

Code: Select all

H:\Downloads\!Completed>filebot2.bat

Anyone have any idea what might have caused this?

This is a new installation of Win 8.1, could it have been a Windows update that caused this problem?

If so, how do I get filebot working again?

Any help would be appreciated.

1.
The "Software\JavaSoft\Prefs" warnings is just a warning. Ignore it. Check Google for a fix.

2.
Your second log tells me you just don't understand how to call the script manually. Please read the troubleshooting section carefully and check the utorrent logger tab for the actual command that is executed.

3.
None of your logs show the actual issue.

4.
Using ! as the leading character in a folder name is probably not a good idea.

Thanks for the reply.

Actually I tried many different commands from the examples shown here, but nothing worked. Either the command continually displayed in the CLI over and over or simply nothing happened. I know my example was wrong as it was intended to be run by uTorrent.

The thing is that filebot worked perfectly for the first half of my downloads and then simply stopped working. I did nothing at all during that time except for watching a few YouTube videos. What could have changed?

OK, so I googled the problem and one of the suggestions was to change the registry permissions. I have done that and now filebot is working again .... yay!

I hate Windows 8.1 .... grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr ...
