FileBot

Hey there,
I just encountered a little problem when I was trying to rename some media stubs for XBMC.

I got some of my DVDs I got lying around here as a Media Stub file so I can import them into XBMC. Currently the file name is something simple as this: Now this isn't exactly as I'd like them to be now, which would at least include the year. Problem is that I can't rename the files with Filebot since it doesn't seem to do anything. I suspect this is because they are not "media files" and therefore ignored, just like nfo's are (somewhat).

Is there any way forcing Filebot to include those files? Is it even possible to use?

Sorry, not supported. It's like you said, FileBot happens to ignore .disc files completely.



Also, unofficially, you can do something like this:

I see, so basically adding another extension to the whitelist.

Will this also work with "multiple" extensions? As I said my files are in a format like {movie}.bluray.disc or something. Can I add bluray.disc as extension? Or would this fail due to the dot?

Probably not. There is no such thing as "multiple" extensions on Windows.

Yeah that's what I was thinking

I didn't know if filebot's using some kind of fileextension property provided by Windows/JRE or if it's actually checking the filename itself

But this should be fine for now
