Renaming help and replacing info

sycor · Post by **sycor** » 26 Jan 2025, 21:06

I'll start out by saying I have very little knowledge of coding. I had FileBot setup for a few years without issue. Unfortunately after updating Java yesterday and removing old information all of my presets were lost. It's completely on me for not having a backup of my backup.

On to the issue, I've been trying to rebuild my preset but cannot remember how I did part of it. Here is an example of the end result:

Code: Select all

Movie (1985) [640x480] [ENG] [2ch EAC3 224 kbps x264]

I've gotten everything figured out except how to get the $vc to put out x264 instead of AVC. I'd also like to have it show x265 instead of HEVC, all in the same bracket. And yes I know HEVC and x265 are not the same thing, but it's visually easier for me to see.

Format: Select all

\transfer\{n} ({y})\{n} ({y})
  [{resolution}] {[text.language[0].upper().replace("EN","ENG")]} 
  {"[$af $ac $abr $vc]"}

I've figured out how to do it as a stand alone [ ] but I can't get it to update within the bracket I want. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

{vc} will print x264 if the file was encoded by x264 according to the encoder settings embedded in the MediaInfo properties. If {vc} prints AVC the the file was not encoded by the x264 encoder, or the metadata was stripped and so it's no longer possible to know with certainty which encoder was used.

What does the MediaInfo Inspector say for the file at hand? See [FAQ] How do I share MediaInfo properties? for details.

It shows as AVC, which I get. But I know that using

Code: Select all

{vc.matches(/AVC/) ? " [x264]":""}

that I can have it show x264. However that does not work in the bracket with

Code: Select all

{"[$af $ac $abr $vc]"}

. Even changing the $vc to vc.matches does not work and breaks the entire bracket. I know I had it setup before somehow but I can't remember and can't figure it out. I know I can just have it in a separate bracket however 90% of my library is named this way already and it's going to annoy me to have newer things different, and I don't want to redo the entire library.

Note that you didn't post the complete media info table. I was particularly interested in the Encoded_Library_Name property (if any) of the video stream, because {vc} will yield x264 if Encoded_Library_Name looks something like this:

Properties: Select all

Encoded_Library                   : x264 - core 164
Encoded_Library/String            : x264 core 164
Encoded_Library_Name              : x264
Encoded_Library_Version           : core 164

If you want to "fake" the x264 label for any generic AVC file (regardless of whether its actually using the x264 encoder or not) then you could do that like so:

Format: Select all

{ vc.replace('AVC':'x264', 'HEVC':'x265') }

You could then combine multiple values like so:

Format: Select all

{
	allOf{ af }{ ac }{ abr }{ vc.replace('AVC':'x264', 'HEVC':'x265') }
	.joining(' ', ' [', ']')
}
