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:

Hi,

I installed successfully and ran the test and curious about something I see in the results:

- It says `UPDATE AVAILABLE: FileBot 4.8 (r5280)` but I did get the latest AFAIK. Is there another way to update?

-------------------- 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!

root@Media-Server:~/Downloads# sudo dpkg -i filebot.deb
dpkg-deb: error: `filebot.deb' is not a debian format archive
dpkg: error processing filebot.deb (--install):

Errors were encountered while processing:

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This thread is outdated.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!

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.

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
Regards

[rednoah]

For subtitles, I do recommend purchasing FlixTools, as it's made by the creators of OpenSubtitles, and thus supports the site as well as the app.

I would like to ask for help with this. I'll put this in a way so that it may help others in the future as well.
My setup: DS218play, jDownloader headless + my.jdownloaderorg as GUI + filebot.

This is a screen capture of the GUI that I have. I fail to enter the scripts (e.g. https://github.com/filebot/plugins/blob ... inished.js) via c&p (plus modifying path) into that window. I get an error (failed to set new value).



My question: Is that even the right way? Or do I need to follow the headless path that you describe above?
In that case,
- where do I put that script?
- can you provide the second script as JSON as well please? The provided one only works for "ON_PACKAGE_FINISHED", but not for ArchiveExtracted.

Thanks!

[rednoah]

I've never used the JD WebUI. It looks very basic. I guess it's just a simple interface so you can write the org.jdownloader.extensions.eventscripter.EventScripterExtension.scripts.json configuration file.

You can try to just copy the raw JSON:
https://github.com/filebot/plugins/blob ... ripts.json

The easiest way is probably to log in via SSH, find the configuration files, and then write them directly, and restart JD:

Code: Select all

find /volume1 -iname '*EventScripterExtension*'

You can use the JD desktop app and setup Event Scripter that way, and the just copy the configuration file.

[hansooloo]

Take a look at this shell script I created for my setup where I was running into the exact same issue: https://gist.github.com/HanSooloo/89528 ... 2668b0330e

You _will_ need the `jq` package, which is readily available on both macOS (via brew) or any Linux distribution.
