FileBot

I have been using Filebot with a scheduled task on my Synology for a long time now. Recently, for some reason, the files I am downloading are coming down without any suffix, i.e. they no longer have .mkv on the end for instance.
When the scheduled task runs, these files are being ignored; is there any way I can get filebot to process them anyway, or is there someway I can automatically rename them to have the correct suffix?

You could use Plain File Mode to rewrite files paths ahead of time, and then do a second filebot call to process the movie / episodes files as usual.


e.g. find files that have no file extension but are media files for which the container format / file extension can be determined, and then rename the files with proper file extension:

Thanks, I've added a scheduled script to run 5 minutes before the main node script and that appears to be working fine. Next step is to get it to run only when new files are downloaded rather than hourly.

I found this article, so hopefully that should get me going:
