Ignoring files with no suffix

Post by darianci »

I have been using Filebot with a scheduled task on my Synology for a long time now. Recently, for some reason, the files I am downloading are coming down without any suffix, i.e. they no longer have .mkv on the end for instance.
When the scheduled task runs, these files are being ignored; is there any way I can get filebot to process them anyway, or is there someway I can automatically rename them to have the correct suffix?

:idea: You could use Plain File Mode to rewrite files paths ahead of time, and then do a second filebot call to process the movie / episodes files as usual.


:idea: e.g. find files that have no file extension but are media files for which the container format / file extension can be determined, and then rename the files with proper file extension:

Console Output: Select all

$ filebot -rename -r /path/to/input --file-filter "none{ ext } && cf" --db file --format "{fn}.{cf}" --action TEST
[TEST] from [a] to [a.mkv]
