Hi,
as a desktop user i would like to use File bot on my Rasberry Pi4 and use a Web interface for processing files. I learned there is Web interface but this only for NAS, am i correct ? I know i can use filebot on desktop with connected drives but i like to avoid the due to bandwith issues.
Thanks for guidance !
Web interface for Filebot
Re: Web interface for Filebot
You can run the FileBot Node service on any Linux device, and not just Linux-based NAS devices.trigger2k20 wrote: ↑20 Jun 2023, 15:06 as a desktop user i would like to use File bot on my Rasberry Pi4 and use a Web interface for processing files.

You can run the FileBot Desktop application remotely with Xpra or any other generic remote Desktop solution, RDP, VNC, etc.
All of the solutions above are available as docker container:

Why would you have bandwidth issues? Renaming files (i.e. sending rename commands to the SMB server) does not require any bandwidth.trigger2k20 wrote: ↑20 Jun 2023, 15:06 I know i can use filebot on desktop with connected drives but i like to avoid the due to bandwith issues.
FileBot may read media file headers (i.e. a few MB per file; not the entire file) but you can disable that. See Optimizations for Remote File Systems for details.
Personally, I'd add the network share as network drive and then use the FileBot Desktop application as usual. Have you tried this? What issues did you run into?

Thanks rednoah,
thanks for the answers ! I will consider use filebot on desktop with connected drives, i have the fear if i use shared drives what happens when the connections drops while renaming a lot of files ?

Re: Web interface for Filebot
If you can stream video for a few seconds without interruption then you can also rename a few thousand files, and if something doesn't work, then same files won't be renamed and left untouched. That's all. Keep in mind that you're essentially just sending move/rename commands (i.e. mv /A /B) to the SMB server, so the files never get downloaded to or uploaded from your Desktop PC that's remotely renaming files.trigger2k20 wrote: ↑21 Jun 2023, 15:55 i have the fear if i use shared drives what happens when the connections drops while renaming a lot of files ?
