Filebot downloads complete material in several formats.

Post by mageorrec »

Hello, everyone.

I have a query about the rebranding of media.
My configuration is as follows: I use a VPN to access an NFS share containing certain media files. I then drag the media into FileBot (Desktop MacOS/Windows).

The issue I have is that if the media format is AVC, every single file will most likely be downloaded until it is identified as AVC. Everything takes a long time. Other formats, like as x264, provide lightning-fast performance.

The rename seems like this:

Format: Select all

{ny} {"{tmdb-$tmdbid}"}/Season {s}/{n}.\s00e00} - {vf} - {vc}
Maybe someone can explain me why this occurs and how to repair it?

Thank you for your attention.

:arrow: Q: Can I process video files without reading media info?

:arrow: You can disable Disable File I/O or you can pre-generate the mediainfo table ahead of time on the server-side. If you must have {vf} - {vc} as part of your format then the latter is your only option.

:arrow: The only alternative to reading parts of the file is matching information from the file path instead.





EDIT:

You may also report the issue to the MediaInfo project. Reading the mediainfo table shouldn't take more than reading a few megabytes, a bit from the beginning, a bit from the end, maybe a bit from the middle.

:arrow: You can use the following command to see how many bytes libmediainfo is reading to extract all the information from the file at hand:

Shell: Select all

filebot -script fn:mediainfo /input --mode raw
