Easy fix if the filebot GUI shows a grey screen and you use the sway window manager (and possibly others)
Posted: 05 Feb 2023, 06:02
Add the following alias to your .zshrc / .bashrc / wherever you add aliases:
and replace "fbg" with whatever you want your new command alias to be.
Launching filebot with these arguments forces it to run under xwayland which works fine but has slightly jagged fonts. Doesn't seem to fundamentally be a wayland issue as it works for me on wayland gnome, just not on sway. This is definitely a workaround so maybe rednoah will get a chance to sus out what's going on with the rendering engine, but it's good enough for the immediate future.
Code: Select all
alias fbg="env -u WAYLAND_DISPLAY filebot"
