I haven't changed the line in my batch file that calls Filebot in months since I finally got it working just right. A couple of days ago, it started adding extra info to the folder names (but not the files) and, as a result, Kodi won't recognize shows within. e.g. "Gotham Knights {tmdb-195868}"
This is the line that's called within my batch file:
"c:\Program Files\FileBot\filebot.exe" -script fn:amc --output "N:/Media" --action move --conflict skip -non-strict "d:\videos_done" --log-file amc.log --def unsorted=y --def subtitles=en "ut_label=%L" "ut_state=%S" "ut_title=%N" "ut_kind=%K" "ut_file=%F" "ut_dir=%D"
Any idea why it's adding the extra info?

Re: Filebot adding "{tmdb-#####}" to folders
Please read the --log-file amc.log log file:
viewtopic.php?t=13406
Consider replacing {plex} with {kodi} if you're using Kodi. (EDIT: FileBot r9742 updates {kodi} to use Name (Year) similar to how {emby} works with current releases)
Consider replacing TheTVDB with TheMovieDB::TV if your Kodi library is configured to use TheMovieDB::TV.

Re: Filebot adding "{tmdb-#####}" to folders
Thanks. I've changed the main line to the following:
"c:\Program Files\FileBot\filebot.exe" -script fn:amc --output "N:/Media" --action move --conflict skip -non-strict "d:\videos_done" --log-file amc.log --def unsorted=y --def movieDB=TheMovieDB seriesDB=TheTVDB --def seriesformat="{kodi}" --def movieFormat="{kodi}" --def subtitles=en "ut_label=%L" "ut_state=%S" "ut_title=%N" "ut_kind=%K" "ut_file=%F" "ut_dir=%D"
...but it's still adding the extra info. I'm assuming the DB parameters dictate source site and the Format parts dictate new naming scheme.

seriesFormat and not seriesformat. When in doubt, copy & paste the example code, and avoid finger typing.

THANK YOU. I'm used to most things not being case sensitive but that's a bad habit.
