Filebot adding "{tmdb-#####}" to folders

I haven't changed the line in my batch file that calls Filebot in months since I finally got it working just right. A couple of days ago, it started adding extra info to the folder names (but not the files) and, as a result, Kodi won't recognize shows within. e.g. "Gotham Knights {tmdb-195868}"
This is the line that's called within my batch file:
"c:\Program Files\FileBot\filebot.exe" -script fn:amc --output "N:/Media" --action move --conflict skip -non-strict "d:\videos_done" --log-file amc.log --def unsorted=y --def subtitles=en "ut_label=%L" "ut_state=%S" "ut_title=%N" "ut_kind=%K" "ut_file=%F" "ut_dir=%D"
Any idea why it's adding the extra info?

Please read the

tl;dr If you want the previous default behaviour, then you can explicitly specify the previous default configuration:
Code: Select all
--def movieDB=TheMovieDB seriesDB=TheTVDB animeDB=AniDB --def movieFormat="{plex}" seriesFormat="{plex}" animeFormat="{plex}"

Consider replacing
{plex} with
{kodi} if you're using Kodi.
(EDIT: FileBot r9742 updates {kodi} to use Name (Year) similar to how {emby} works with current releases)

Consider replacing
TheTVDB with
TheMovieDB::TV if your Kodi library is configured to use
TheMovieDB::TV.

Thanks. I've changed the main line to the following:
"c:\Program Files\FileBot\filebot.exe" -script fn:amc --output "N:/Media" --action move --conflict skip -non-strict "d:\videos_done" --log-file amc.log --def unsorted=y --def movieDB=TheMovieDB seriesDB=TheTVDB --def seriesformat="{kodi}" --def movieFormat="{kodi}" --def subtitles=en "ut_label=%L" "ut_state=%S" "ut_title=%N" "ut_kind=%K" "ut_file=%F" "ut_dir=%D"
...but it's still adding the extra info. I'm assuming the DB parameters dictate source site and the Format parts dictate new naming scheme.

seriesFormat and not
seriesformat. When in doubt, copy & paste the example code, and avoid finger typing.

THANK YOU. I'm used to most things not being case sensitive but that's a bad habit.
