FileBot

Hi everyone, this is my first post.
First of all, GREAT APPP!! thanks to this app i was able to set my media center really fast and easy!

My feature request is simple and because of a necessity....

Actually i'm using and Android TV (Android Stick mk808) as a "Media Server/Downloader", i'm using an android torrent client that has a directory watcher, installed sftp server, then just put the Android stick in a dark empty space in my cellar with a external hdd connected and i was able to download torrent movies (leaving the torrent files through filezilla from my desktop pc).

The thing is, that i still need to run filebot for the renaming and downloading of the subs of each movie or serie i downloaded... And because there is no android version, i have to bridged through different programs so my pc could mount the ftp server as a smb. Of course this work, but again, the magic of having an "automated media center" within my android stick is somewhat lost... This wouldn't be happen if for example i could run the filebot cmdline from android, then i could downloaded some script manager apk, done some quick sh script invoking this filebot cmd and it will be all done within the android....

To sum up, do you plan to release an Android Version of filebot (with just the cmdline is enough for me) in the future?? if so, when?


Again thanks for your hard work, its a F_____ awesome APP!!

Does Java 8 run on your Android device? If yes, then it's already supported. If no, then it's not possible. Pretty sure it's the former though, but may require some tinkering.

The thing is, because is made in java, its pretty easy to recompile the java source code and packaged it for android.

Also, I don't think is possible to run java 8, at least without some work behind...

Anyway i will try to use of the utilities that are around that transform .jar files to .apk apps... and let you know if that worked.

Thanks for answering
Regards

Yep. Let me know how it goes.

Though I recon it may not be possible completely though since at least Groovy will need a standard compliant Java VM and Dalvik is not by design.

If you're a developer the best chance my be checking out the source and compiling for Dalvik and see what happens.

Hi julgon,

There's always one other path you can look at with your mk808

• Ubuntu 12.10 Complete ARM/MK808/RK3066 Desktop Solution

You can get Java for ARM linux (I run Java on both my Raspberry Pi and BeagleBone Black, both of which are ARM units), and those little mk808's do have a decent amount of grunt packed into that iddy-biddy form factor..

If you decide you want to stick with the form factor, but want more flexibility than Android can offer, this might be the different approach you need ^.^

Thanks Ithiel, but i tried this, i put incorrectly mi android stick model, which is mk808b. Sadly, in the linux distros based in arduinos, the wifi doesn't work with the kernel that is needed to flash in it. And this is a must feature for me.

Thanks anyway

No worries - was just a thought.

The wifi and bluetooth on my RK3066 was rather **** tbh, so I ended up using a USB to Ethernet Adapter for mine anyway... In the end though, after I bought a Raspberry Pi and a BeagleBone Black, I put the RK3066 in a draw and haven't touched it since >.<

As far as developing Java apps on Android, there is this (never used it tho):

Also, while it's still a ways off, this might one day provide another path:
