OS X v3.0 not connecting databases when trying rename

Hi,
Just unfortunately downloaded and installed v3.0 to my OS X (10.7.4) and now the file renaming function does not work - ie. in previous version selecting the used database retrieved correct name but in this version 3.0 it doesn't even seem to make connection to the available databases (IMDB, TheMovieDB etc). Or am I doing something wrong here?

and it's not firewall issue.

Well, which version you use won't make a difference. If 3.0 doesn't work, I doubt 2.64 would work at the same time.
Run filebot with console and check what debug output you get. It's probably just some sort of network problem.

Episodes function is working ie. searching for example with word Simpsons will get me few alternatives so I don't think it's network issue.
v2.64 was removed before install v3.0 so they aren't running concurrently. I am bit of newbie with mac still so I running with console is bit foreign to me - can you advise what kind of script to use in console?

A script to start filebot is in FileBot.app/MacOS/filebot
How to use the console on OSX you can just google.

In the directory where I have the FileBot, I am running your script I get:
-bash: Filebot.app/MacOs/filebot: No such file or directory

You're using th shell wrong, check some tutorials on this.
Usually it's "./executable", note the ./

Googled lots of sites how to use the shell, but did not find useful information - so I'm stuck. Why did v2.64 worked so well and easily?
I did some testing: Everything else works fine except movie dvd images ie. .iso, .img etc files.

v3.0 doesn't consider CD images as video files, neither does v2.64
* if you try to handle iso/img files, nothing will happen
* not with v3.0, not with v2.64, that's never changed
But you can add that behaviour by telling filebot to treat iso/img files as video type:

Ok. Thanks rednoah - case closed. Seems like I haven't done renaming on images then and just rarely do it anyway and I can live with this deficiency. Cheers!
