Sorry for the late reply, it took me a while to reproduce the issue. So basically, the parser gets confused when there are numbers in the title itself.
And this example is about as bad as it gets:
It got the title correctly, but it wasn't able to pick up on the proper season number for some reason, even though the "0048" was part of a "word" in the title and not isolated by whitespace. I've also seen Filebot get confused when there are isolated numbers, like years or sequel numbering. It seems like any kind of numerics in the title throw it off.
Also notice that it doesn't consistently pick the right or wrong season. The pattern seems random as to whether it chooses Season 1 or Season 2.
For additional background: I ran my "Anime" pre-set:
Hope this helps track down the issue.

Looks like a typical
Absolute ⇆ SxE numbers mismatch to me, rather unrelated to numbers in the series name. You'll want to match with
Absolute Order and then either go with that, or dynamically re-order to
Airdate Order (SxE) in the format:

After reading that the Apple store version Has limited usage due to Apple, I may add. Should have done more research before buying. I requested a refund. I got it. Whoo hoo. So I will be purchasing the universal licence full version now

libmediainfo.so is either not installed or not compatible with your system:
Code: Select all
MediaInfo: net.filebot.mediainfo.MediaInfoException: Unable to load amd64 (64-bit) native library libmediainfo.so: Unable to load library 'mediainfo': Native library (linux-x86-64/libmediainfo.so) not found in resource path ([file:/root/filebot-portable/jar/filebot.jar])
fpcalc is not installed:
Code: Select all
Chromaprint: java.io.IOException: Cannot run program "fpcalc": error=2, No such file or directory
libmediainfo.so and
fpcalc are
optional dependencies. You may or may not need either, depending on your use case. You will find many many many threads here in this forum discussing how to get
libmediainfo.so working on various platforms.

If you're using a Debian-based OS such as Ubuntu, then I recommend using APT package management for dependencies:

Ubuntu 19.10, OpenJDK 8, licensed version of filebot.
I've used this script, and all works well (with OpenJDK 8).
When I run update_filebot.sh however, I always end up with a version that gives me an error when I try to run it:

Sorry, the incremental update script only works for the Java 11 build, but not the Java 8 compatibility build.

joined forum to contribute to this thread after not finding exactly what i wanted searching. i'm a simple man of simple requirements, so in case some other simpletons come a-googlin'
Code: Select all
{n} - {'s'+s.pad(2)}{'e'+e.pad(2)}{episode.special ? ('s00e'+special.pad(2)) : null } - {t}
Renames TV shows in the plex & human-friendly format
Show Title - s00e00 - Episode Title
With specials being named as s00 (per theTVDB).
actual examples:
- Travel Man 48 Hours in... Jordan (Christmas Special)
- Travel Man 48 Hours in... Dubrovnik
becomes
- Travel Man 48 Hours in... - s00e03 - Jordan (Christmas Special)
- Travel Man 48 Hours in... - s10e01 - Dubrovnik
I arrange folders/drives manually myself, as is my preference, so no need for filebot to take that over. Place, rename, scan @ plex, done.
edit because i found an error in my expression, now fixed

Re: Plex Naming Schemes
Posted: 05 Feb 2020, 16:25
by fud18
I recently noticed that some of my movies were not getting their meta data in Plex unless I manually matched the titles. What I noticed was preventing this was having A|An|The at the beginning. According to Plex's website/forums if you place anything after a parenthesis it will not detect it which allows the files to match correctly. Below are the naming formats I have tried with examples. Any help would be greatly appreciated to get my naming to work like Example 3.
Example 1:
- The Fly (1986) is matched correctly in Plex, but I want proper sort with the The at the end
Filebot naming script: {n.replace(':',' - ')} ({y})
Example 2:
- Fly, The (1986) is not matched correctly in Plex.
Filebot naming script: {n.sortName('$2, $1').replace(':',' - ')} ({y})
Example 3 (
What I would like): Fly (1986), The
- If the current file does not begin with "A|An|The" the naming is done incorrectly as such
Hamburger: The Motion Picture (1986) = Hamburger: The Motion Picture (1986), Hamburger: The Motion Picture
The Fly (1986) = Fly (1986), The
Filebot naming script: {n.sortName('$2').replace(':',' - ')} ({y}){n.sortName(', $1').replace(':',' - ')}

AFAIK,
what you would like is is not what Plex would like to see:
https://support.plex.tv/articles/categories/your-media/
{plex} is the way to go. It may not be what you want, but it'll be what Plex wants and expects. You can do things differently, and maybe it'll mostly work, or maybe it'll sometimes not work, either way, no guarantees once you start ignoring the standard if favor of your own preferences.

Thanks for the reply rednoah, I have tried that, but I don't want all the A|An|The's lumped together...makes it a real nightmare to try and remove files if I am bouncing around all over the place. I will face the consequences of the way I want it named if someone can just tell me how to the the A|An|The from the beginning of the title to after the date as provided in my example. I have tested it and it works flawlessly that's why I want to do it plus then I can find them easy in windows explorer to remove movies I no longer want.
Re: Plex Naming Schemes

You could do
n.sortName() to remove the
A and
The altogether, since that'll probably mess with Plex the least:

But how do I add the removed part back after the (year)?

Assuming that Plex ignores everything after the
Name (Year) part, you can try this:

Just start the recording, and then do whatever you wanna do, and narrate your thoughts. From download, to install, to first launch, to first usage, to first rename, etc.
* What thoughts come to mind?
* What makes sense?
* What doesn't make sense?
* Where are you stuck?
* What works as expected?
* What works different from your expectation?
TL;DR A screen recording of you using FileBot, narrated by you thinking out loud as you go along.
