FileBot

I'm trying to add the Video Format (1080p, 720p, etc) using "{vf}" but its not detecting that the info (format) is already in the original file name...

How do I automatically add the format the new renamed file?

{vf} requires libmediainfo. It's reading the info from the media file itself, not the filename.

What platform / architecture are you on? How did you install FileBot? Have you tried running filebot -script fn:sysinfo? Make sure to read the FAQ.

Win7 64bit. Its just the portable version

portable version doesn't support platform-dependant features.

This package does not include the MediaInfo and 7-Zip native libraries.

You'll need to download the native libraries for your platform:
https://sourceforge.net/p/filebot/code/ ... ib/native/

But it's probably easier to just use the Windows installer.

My apologies, the portable version was provided to me by a friend.

I've downloaded the Windows Installer, at its working as expected... which is great.
But how might I set it so that it only adds the format {vf} ( ie: {n} {[y, vf]} ) to the video file (and .srt), and not the folder name.
I want the folder to just use {n} {[y]}

@see FAQ #1

{n} {[y]}/{n} {[y, vf]}

I read through the FAQs, but don't see how FAQ #1 is relevant.
That creates a new folder, instead of just renaming the folder that the video files are already in.

My Structure:
Movies>MovieFolder>MovieFile>

You define the structure. FileBot sortes files into new structure.

X:/Movies/{n} {[y]}/{n} {[y, vf]}

FileBot does not rename folders and files. Only files.

FileBot does not rename folders and files. Only files.

Does it not rename folders if you CTRL+SHIFT+DRAG the folders into the Original Area of filebot?

EDIT: Nevermind, it renames folders, but not Folder+Files.

If you CTRL+SHIFT+DRAG the folder in, it'll treat the folder as if it was a file. So you can do two batches, once with files, once with folders. But doing things in place is probably a bad idea anyway.

Just define your absolute structure with FileBot. Then the filebot structure will contain only properly named files. And the old structure contains everything you haven't sorted yet. Keeping the two separate is always a good idea.
