Maybe you can try it and see if there's any particular issue on 16.04 LTS or 18.04 LTS. Since I still only use Recommends the package will should install just fine on any system, allowing you to satisfy dependencies manually as needed.

AFAIK, only OpenJFX is a problem, but that's not even required at all if you're only interested in the CLI tools, and easy to install (i.e. copy files) manually if needed and that I could help automate via shell scripts.

If Java 11 is an issue, then we could consider sticking to Java 8 (which makes JavaFX work out of the box on 18.04 but not work on anything newer) but the portable tar is already there to cover people that need backwards compatibility.

Anyway, I'm open to suggestions here, especially considering that GUI users and CLI users might very likely be running on different environments.

So now on a fresh Ubuntu 18.04 install (tested in a VM) - if you just download the .deb file and open/double-click it normally (letting GDebi install it graphically) you'll end up with filebot failing to load with...

/usr/bin/filebot: 14: /usr/bin/filebot: java: not found

If you use 'sudo apt -y install ./FileBot_4.8.5.deb' then you'll get...

Error: LinkageError occurred while loading main class net.filebot.Main
java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError: net/filebot/Main has been compiled by a more recent version of the Java Runtime (class file version 55.0), this version of the Java Runtime only recognizes class file versions up to 54.0

Naturally these *can* be resolved after the fact... but that's not really the point

Installing some basic desktop application really ought to just be...
Step 1) Add the additional repository (either graphically through Software & Updates, or via command line)
Step 2) Tell your system the name of the package you want to install (again graphically or command line)

You've kind of got all the information you need, it's up to you how to do this. I suspect you don't package for Linux all that often (just a feeling).

Personally I'd whack arch-dependant versions of openjfx in to the package itself (and the package could stay multi-arch) just like you do libjnidispatch.so.

To be honest including only aarch64/armv7l/i686/x86_64 versions of libjnidispatch.so means the package isn't really 'all' arch anyway - and the Debian lintian systems picks up on that and may warn people the package is of bad quality :S But I don't care about that personally.

[rednoah]

Does apt not automatically install Recommends packages? It seems that openjdk-11-jre is not installed automatically.

Forcing things via Depends has its own pitfalls. See discussions above.

Including OpenJFX is possible, but then it's gonna be amd64 only, as OpenJFX only publishes amd64 binaries. There seem to be more and more Raspberry Pi GUI users recently, so multi-platform would be preferred.

[Lantizia]

If Java 11 is an issue, then we could consider sticking to Java 8 (which makes JavaFX work out of the box on 18.04 but not work on anything newer)

Another way to look at this is... don't bother giving people a .deb file at all.

Make them use the repository - it's the best way IMO. Really .deb files aren't meant to be used in this way (which is why apt only *just* like this/last year got the ability to install from them directly - granted dpkg could, but it wouldn't resolve dependencies without then calling apt-get after to fix the system).

If you stick with the repository you can do what everyone else does and instead of having...

Code: Select all

deb [arch=amd64] https://get.filebot.net/deb/ stable main

Have...

Code: Select all

deb https://get.filebot.net/deb raspbian-jessie main
deb https://get.filebot.net/deb raspbian-stretch main
deb [arch=amd64] https://get.filebot.net/deb trusty main
deb [arch=amd64] https://get.filebot.net/deb xenial main
deb [arch=amd64] https://get.filebot.net/deb bionic main
deb [arch=amd64] https://get.filebot.net/deb cosmic main
deb [arch=amd64] https://get.filebot.net/deb jessie main
deb [arch=amd64] https://get.filebot.net/deb stretch main

That way you can have packages that are tailored to the situation they're going to find themselves in.

Additionally I don't think Recommends are followed when installing an individual .deb package - it is something read by apt... something that is being bypassed by not installing from a repository.

[rednoah]

New DEB for testing:

* Changed to amd64 only and included OpenJFX
* Changed Recommends to Depends

Code: Select all

https://get.filebot.net/filebot/FileBot_4.8.5/FileBot_4.8.5_amd64.deb

The APT repository is built from DEB packages, so there's gonna be DEB packages regardless of whether I make them visible or not. Either way, the final release will be available via APT so users can auto-update easily.

I'd rather not maintain multiple packages for multiple platforms if at all possible.

Multi-Arch DEB for Raspbian / armhf support will come eventually, but I guess that can wait until next year. There's always the portable package in the meanwhile.

[rednoah]

The FileBot 4.8.5 release now contains two additional DEB packages:

* universal (requires OpenJDK 11 and OpenJFX 11)
* universal-jdk8 (requires OpenJDK 8 and OpenJFX 8)

The universal one should work on Ubuntu 18.10 / Debian 10. The universal-jdk8 one should work on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS / Ubuntu 18.04 LTS / Debian 9 and Raspbian / Raspberry Pi (untested). Both rely on apt for all native dependencies.

Hi,

my expression is :

Code: Select all

{s00e00} - {t} ({resolution}_{kbps}_{vc}_{channels}_{ac}_{source}_{languages}_{lang}_{subt})

1/my 1st question is :
where does Filebot take the informations {source}, {languages}, {lang} and {subt} from ? MediaInfo for all of them ?

indeed, I have plenty of cartoons and when I look at them with MediaInfo, most of them don't have the language set, neither the source, and when i apply the expression, i get "fra" as language --> why ?

2/I don't see how Filebot could retrieve the "source", as i never saw it in MediaInfo --> does it come from MediaInfo ??? how can i set it in the cartoons ? with which tool ?

thank you very much in advance for your reply

regards

EDIT :
I found mkvtoolnix to set the language, but i don't see how to set the "source"

[rednoah]

where does Filebot take the informations {source}, {languages}, {lang} and {subt} from ? MediaInfo for all of them ?

Does NOT use MediaInfo:
{source} is based on the file path only, matching kown patterns such as BluRay.
{lang} and {subt} is for subtitles, matching the subtitle language suffix from the file path, or by running statistical language detection on the file contents of text-based subtitle files.

Does use MediaInfo:
{languages} is a convenience binding for reading audio languages (via libmediainfo or ffprobe depending on your install).

I don't see how Filebot could retrieve the "source", as i never saw it in MediaInfo --> does it come from MediaInfo ??? how can i set it in the cartoons ? with which tool ?

If the filename doesn't say Bluray / DVDRip / WebDL / etc then {source} won't work. If you just have the video file, then it's impossible to tell if it came from BD / DVD / Netflix / iTunes / etc. You could guess based on file size / resolution / bitrate / etc in your own format code but it's ultimately guesswork unless the file is explicitly tagged in some way.

[weyb06]

hi,

thank you for your reply !
i understand a little better how it works !

I found mkvtoolnix to set the language, but i don't see how to set the "source"
--> which property could i set (with mkvtoolnix) as the "source" so filebot recognizes/reads it with MediaInfo (and then afterwards i'll be able to get it), please ?
--> I mean to use a property i don't use to set the "source"...

EDIT : you should precise on https://www.filebot.net/naming.html that {lang} is for subtitles only

[rednoah]

{source} only works if a known keyword such as BluRay appears in the file path. mkvtoolnix doesn't help you there. Presumably, you can add your own custom tags though, which will then be accessible via mediainfo.

EDIT: I'll be making changes to FileBot 4.8.5 also check the media title (e.g. from mkv title tag if available) as well for bindings such as {source} that are based on the current or original filename.

[weyb06]

If i set the Mediainfo "Encoded_Library/String" parameter with "VHS" for example, how can i retrieve/read it with filebot ?
I saw there is "media" able to get <any any general media parameter>, but how do i do that please ? {media} is enough ?

[rednoah]

You can access any media info property by name.

Object/Property style:

Code: Select all

media.EncodedLibraryString

Map/Key style:

Code: Select all

media['Encoded_Library/String']

[weyb06]

ok i get it !

Q : i have set the language with mkvtoolnix, and i can see "Language/String: en" in the audio section of Mediainfo, so why do i get [fra] with {languages} in my expression ?

regards

[rednoah]

Correction:

{languages} is the TheTVDB language / TheMovieDB spoken languages field.

{audioLanguages} is the convenience binding for accessing audio languages (as List of Language objects).

{audio.LanguageString} is direct access for the Language/String value for each audio stream.

Hi,

NOOB here

Using

Code: Select all

{plex.derive{" [$vf.$vc.$ac]"}}

I find that the TV series 24 (Twenty Four) fails because the fullstops in its episode titles are being replaced (see output below).

https://ibb.co/87vTcrF

How can I get around this?

Thanks.

[rednoah]

Yes, the {plex} format does indeed strip trailing "." characters from the Plex path. In your case, that's unnecessary, but the {plex} binding can't know that.

e.g.

Code: Select all

$ filebot -list --q 24 --format {plex} --filter "s == 1 && e <= 3"
TV Shows/24/Season 01/24 - S01E01 - 12.00 A.M. - 1.00 A.M
TV Shows/24/Season 01/24 - S01E02 - 1.00 A.M. - 2.00 A.M
TV Shows/24/Season 01/24 - S01E03 - 2.00 A.M. - 3.00 A.M

If want to preserve the trailing "." then you can use a full custom format such as this:

Code: Select all

TV Shows/{n}/Season {s.pad 2}/{n} - {s00e00} - {t} [{vf}.{vc}.{ac}]

[Gruff10]

Thanks. That worked, though the ":"s in the episode titles are a pain as well. At least the Validate button clears them

[rednoah]

Additional customizations like this will do the job:

Code: Select all

{n.colon(' - ')}

The {plex} format does take care of these corner cases already, and if you need all of those but if you want more control, then you can start with a format such as this, and then modify it to your needs:

Code: Select all

TV Shows/{n}/{episode.special ? 'Specials' : 'Season '+s.pad(2)}/{n} - {episode.special ? 'S00E'+special.pad(2) : s00e00} - {t.replaceAll(/[`´‘’ʻ]/, /'/).replaceAll(/[!?.]+$/).replacePart(', Part $1')}{'.'+lang}

The .replaceAll(/[!?.]+$/) bit is responsible for removing trailing !?. so you could just cut that bit.

Hi

I am interested as well but I can find only help for the windows version of filebot
I am runnning filebot node and would be curious to have the absolut to serial converter on my synology !!

I run the following format for animes:

Code: Select all

Anime/{n}/{episode.special ? 'Special' : 'Season '+s}/{n}.{episode.special ? 'S00E'+special.pad(2) : s00e00}.{t}

thats give me:
Anime/JoJo's Bizarre Adventure (2012)/Season 1/JoJo's Bizarre Adventure (2012).S01E01.Dio the Destroyer.mkv

But I have to manually researche from Absolute to SxxExx on wikies quickly add just the SxxExx numbering and then run filebot node; painful

what would be he changes from above code to have both SxxExx and #xxx in the file name ?

in advance thank you for any support you can give me

[rednoah]

If you're using FileBot Node, then you're effectively using the amc script, which means you can force TV Show mode, set order and format options, which means you can apply the techniques mentioned in the OP.

If you have trouble with that, please make a new thread in the Synology section and include screenshots / console output with what you've tried so far.

[Kopernikus]

Hi,

If I use:

Code: Select all

{plex.derive {" [$vf.$vc.$ac]"}}

I get

Code: Select all

/volume1/video/Movies/xXx (2002)/xXx (2002) [480p.x264.AC3].mkv

but how to I get

Code: Select all

/volume1/video/Movies/xXx (2002) [480p.x264.AC3]/xXx (2002) [480p.x264.AC3].mkv

or

Code: Select all

/volume1/video/Movies/xXx (2002) [480p.x264.AC3]/xXx (2002).mkv

I want to use the Plex format, but to now the video format so I now for example when I replace a SD by HD version of the same movie.

Thx

[rednoah]

There's no convenience method for this particular use case.

You'll either have to
(A) write your own custom format without using the {plex} binding at all, or
(B) write your own custom format using bits and pieces of the {plex} binding as necessary.

e.g.

Code: Select all

Movies/{plex[1]}{" [$vf.$vc.$ac]"}/{plex[2]}{" [$vf.$vc.$ac]"}

Either way, you'll no longer be strictly adhering to the Plex naming scheme, although it'll probably work.

Maybe just a temporary issue of some kind? The repository files are all there as far as I can see, and fetch works for the URLs that seem to have an issue in your log:
https://get.filebot.net/deb/dists/

[mrpengy]

Just curious, will you put an arm package in the Deb repo? Would make upgrading much easier.

Thanks!
