FileBot 5.1.4 won't start on Fedora 40

I upgraded to FileBot 5.1.4 today and afterwards filebot would not start with an access denied error.
Console Output: Select all
[plex]-[dokuro]:/data/Personal/Scripts$ filebot
bash: /usr/bin/filebot: Permission denied
[plex]-[dokuro]:/data/Personal/Scripts$
Checking /usr/share/filebot/bin/filebot.sh ...

I downgraded to FileBot 5.1.3 and filebot works fine. Checking /usr/share/filebot/bin/filebot.sh again and its ...
Console Output: Select all

I guess there is a bug with FileBot 5.1.4. Filebot was installed via dnf using FileBot_5.1.4_amd64.rpm.

chmod +x will do the trick:
rpmbuild seems to somehow change the permissions. I'll look into it.
EDIT:
The root cause seems to be a switch from gRPC FUSE to VirtioFS in the docker settings on our macOS build machine... WTF

Alas /usr/bin/filebot already has ...
Console Output: Select all
[plex]-[dokuro]:/data/Personal/Scripts$ ls -la /usr/bin/filebot
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 33 Jul 29 17:33 /usr/bin/filebot -> /usr/share/filebot/bin/filebot.sh
[plex]-[dokuro]:/data/Personal/Scripts$
... so it won't work. For the moment I'll just stick with 5.1.3 until you figure out what is up with the permissions. BTW... I noticed the filebot gnome icons in the show apps is also missing with 5.1.4 so I guess there might be a wider permission issue than just the filebot.sh script.
Happy to test out a fix if you need me to when you have one.

Do you see any strange permissions on the icon files?
Shell: Select all
ls -l /share/icons/hicolor/scalable/apps/filebot.svg
I've uploaded
r10364 here:
https://get.filebot.net/filebot/BETA/Fi ... _amd64.rpm
Please let me know if that fixes the permission issues with both launcher, icons, etc files.

I'm not seeing that file at all ...
Console Output: Select all
[plex]-[dokuro]:/data/Personal/Scripts$ ls -l /share/icons/hicolor/scalable/apps/filebot.svg
ls: cannot access '/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/apps/filebot.svg': No such file or directory
[plex]-[dokuro]:/data/Personal/Scripts$
Unfortunately
https://get.filebot.net/filebot/BETA/Fi ... _amd64.rpm made no difference

Still the same permission error when trying to launch filebot.
BTW... doing a
Code: Select all
sudo chmod -R 755 /usr/share/filebot/
does help in that filebot will start when I do that. However, icon is still missing so I guess other files don't have the correct permissions after 5.1.4 install completed. Going to stay on 5.1.3 for now.

Ups, I forgot the /usr bit in the copy & paste code above...
So I've set up Fedora 40 with Gnome in a VM and the latest beta (r10364) does seem to work... The release (r10362) is confirmed borked though... Fck.

Thank you. I pulled the latest beta FileBot 5.1.4 (r10364) and the issue is now fixed with your latest update. Its getting late here now so I'll run some additional tests tomorrow with this version but so far it seems okay including the gnome app icon.

Completed some additional tests with FileBot 5.1.4 (r10364) and could not find any additional problems so for use cases this build is good. Thank you.
Out of curiosity, do you plan on re-releasing 5.1.4 with this updated version or will you just wait and re-spin calling it 5.1.5.

Reluctant to re-release 5.1.4 due to package management. Reluctant re-release new version build since that somewhat requires releasing all builds for all platforms due to automation. So there'll probably be a 5.1.5 rather soon-ish, more soon if we find issues with Windows / macOS builds as well, less soon if it's just the Fedora package.

FileBot 5.1.5 (r10380) has been released to fix the issue at hand.

Was no problem at all -- the beta build you supplied tied me over until the official release was published. Again, thanks for your help.
