FileBot

I have the problem that "Invalid character" is constantly displayed, how can I fix the problem.
I'm completely new. Please provide step by step instructions, thank you

What is your current custom format / naming scheme?


Your custom format generates file paths that contain characters such as : colon that cannot be used in file paths on Windows. FileBot will thus prompt you to remove those characters so that the Windows file system will then accept the new file paths. You can of course use a custom format that does not generate invalid file paths in the first place, so that FileBot does not have to prompt you to fix it later.


You can use the {plex} format instead of your current custom format. The {plex} format will always generate Windows-compatible file paths. Please read the How do I organize files for Plex? guide for detailed instructions.
