Great, working like charm, I will not ask refund (even I did buy this on winstore as well lol)

Anyhow, any ide about this error:

Code: Select all

Ignore text language: /Users/cicmori/Media/TV Shows/Vikings/Season 04/Vikings - S04E19 - On the Eve.mkv
Failed to read xattr: JsonIoException: EOF reached before closing '}'

This is very strange. It says that the JSON written by FileBot in the past, is no longer valid JSON now that it is read again. Did you modify the xattr?

I'd need the full logs to tell you more.

You can also use the xattr script to see the raw xattr values to check if everything is in order:

I have downloaded via AppStore, should I delete that one and keep only the brew version?
Where can I see the full log... I will check the xattr (it is on my another machine) I will come back to you...

The brew cask version doesn't include Desktop integration, though you can launch the GUI by calling filebot without arguments. You can have both installed. They are completely independent. The GUI will auto-update, but the brew cask will only be updated on command.

If you get xattr errors for this file:

Code: Select all

/Users/cicmori/Media/TV Shows/Vikings/Season 04/Vikings - S04E19 - On the Eve.mkv

Then I'd try calling the xattr script on this file to see what it says:

Code: Select all

filebot -script fn:xattr "/Users/cicmori/Media/TV Shows/Vikings/Season 04/Vikings - S04E19 - On the Eve.mkv"

It's very strange and shouldn't happen. But isn't it just a warning, so FileBot should just keep doing it's thing even if there's a few warnings here and there. I'd really appreciate the logs though. These strange warnings I've never seen before could indicate a more serious issue.

Oke, I have an idea what is wrong, I will upload the logs, if you let me know where it is...
and the answer for the million dollar question is:
I sold my windows machine which was the main media server, now we are using my wife macbook. I did copy lots of file from win 10 ntfs to here so I guess, that is the problem... I guess this is a rare usecase, that's why you have not seen it before...
But will send you the logs, if you let me now where it is.

That would make sense. If you copy files from an NTFS to an HFS+ file system then there's a good chance rarely used features such as NTFS Alternate Data Streams and Posix Extended Attributes may not be copied over correctly. Especially if you use 3rd party filesystem drivers.

yip, how can I fix it, than no logs needed:) Thx for the help anyway!

I'm having the same problem:

" Failed to read xattr: JsonIoException: EOF reached before closing '}' "



FileBot 4.7.9 (r4984) / Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment 9.0.4 / Mac OS X 10.13.3 (x86_64)

Same happens when using GUI:




Edit: fixed using (terminal).

Code: Select all

xattr -c /path/to/Thor Ragnarok (2017) [1080p] [YTS.AG].mp4

[rednoah]

Can you provide a test case to reproduce the problem?

If there's a 3rd party application that corrupts xattr values, then this warning would be expected.

Now that filebot is no longer pkgd with home brew how do we install the cli. I still have 4.7.9 in the home brew dir structure. BTW just bought the apple store app. I figured after 3yrs use of filebot I owe you at least that much.

Anyway I notice that filebot -script fn:sysenv outputs completely diff info from terminal than f5 from the app. Which makes sense since the current cli I have installed is 4.7.9,

I use the cli a lot more than I use the app; as its a script I run from transmission and lately its been giving me numerous erroneous naming returns such as Attack of the Southern Fried Zombies (2017).mp4 to The Attack (2012).mp4

The Mac App Store version and the brew cask version of FileBot are completely independent. You can continue to use the older version of FileBot (as installed via brew cask) for your command-line tasks for now. A newer release will be published eventually via brew cask, but there's one particular brew cask pull request that needs to be merged first.
