Filebot downloads entire media for some formats
Posted: 05 Sep 2024, 13:46
Hello everyone
I have a question regarding the renaming of media.
My setup looks like this: I access an NFS share via VPN where certain media are located. I then drag these media into the Filebot (Desktop MacOS/Windows).
The problem I have is that if the format of the media is AVC, then every single file is probably downloaded completely until it is recognized as AVC. The whole thing takes ages. With other formats such as x264 it is lightning fast.
The renaming looks like this: {ny} {"{tmdb-$tmdbid}"}/Season {s}/{n}.{s00e00} - {vf} - {vc}
Maybe someone can tell me why this happens and knows a way to fix it?
Thank you for your attention.

FileBot may read multiple megabytes via libmediainfo. Which bytes are read is entirely up to the libmediainfo code. Typically a few bytes from the beginning of the file and a few bytes from the end of the file. Maybe a few bytes from the middle as well. 
What does the following command say for good files and bad files?
