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.

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.

[rednoah]

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!

[rednoah]

Yes, there will be a noarch package:

@rednoah, more detailed windows instructions for a noob please.

[rednoah]

1. Open Start Menu and search for Set Environment Variables
2. Click on New
   Name:

   Code: Select all

   FILEBOT_OPTS

   Value:

   Code: Select all

   -Dnet.filebot.theme=Darcula

3. Click OK and then relaunch FileBot.

Note that you'll need the latest revision (i.e. r6135 or higher) for any of this to work. The FileBot (platform) launcher is using the Darcula theme by default now as well.

[DaVoodoo]

Thanks rednoah. Much appreciated.

[shreyas1122]

I would like to use {video[0].frameRate} in an IF condition, I'm not able to figure out how to do it.
i tried printing the framerate on the gui and then comparing as float num and string, but it always returns a 'false' : {video[0].frameRate > 1.0 }

Any help ??
Thanks (Y)

[rednoah]

You'll need to convert the String value to a Number before can compare it numerically:

Code: Select all

video[0].frameRate.toFloat() > 1.0

HI,

I am new to Filebot and I am trying to figure out how to manipulate the output:

my preset is {n} {y} {s00e00} {t} which gives me the following output

MyName 2019 S01E01 First Try

but I would like to have the resulting output

MyName 2019 S01e01 First Try

Tried lower() etc to no avail. I am certainly missing something.

What is the fastest way of obtaining S01e01 instead of S01E01

Thank you in advance
