Use p7zip or unrar for archive extraction

Post by rednoah »

FileBot uses either 7-Zip-JBinding native code (on x86 platforms) or the 7z executable (on ARM platforms) for archive extraction. If you have issues with archive extraction, then using the latest 7z or unrar command-line tools instead might solve the issue.


:idea: Configure the absolute path to the p7zip and unrar tools:

Shell: Select all

filebot -script fn:properties --def net.filebot.archive.extractor=ShellExecutables net.filebot.archive.7z="/usr/bin/p7zip" net.filebot.archive.unrar="/usr/bin/unrar"
