FileBot

I'm very new to this so I though I would pass along what I did. I hope that there are not any errors but just let me know if you find them. I was going to try and create a script, but couldn't figure out the wget to download the correct Java. I tried to describe what each step does both as a learning tool and to help others.


#Install Filebot

It looks like fpcalc won't work. I'll have to figure that out.

1.
My JDK installer script might be helpful:
https://github.com/rednoah/java-install ... all-jdk.sh
2.
If you're not using ipkg to install packages, using the *.ipk package won't make things any easier... btw, *.ipk and *.deb are exactly the same thing.

Why don't you use ipkg/dpkg? 3.
Are you sure that you need to install the jna *.so binaries that way? FileBot.jar includes the JNA binaries for all platforms and should be able to automatically extract and load the one for the current platform, so it should just work.

4.
The latest version of FileBot also updates all it's native dependencies, so you'll probably need the latest versions of all the native binaries as well:
https://svn.code.sf.net/p/filebot/code/ ... linux-arm/

5.
If you need to modify filebot.sh for some reason, that's fine. But don't just rewrite the whole thing based in some really old filebot.sh snippets.

Thank you rednoah. First I am sure of nothing. I am an idiot among the average so what I put together is the work of others and my attempt to understand Linux and filebot. So anything you have to say is likely to help.

1)The script sound great. I'll check that out.
2)I think I understand that I can use ipkg install filebot.4.6.1.ipk instead of using ar then tar on the data file. Is this correct?
3)I really don't know how to answer this. I have just been following what others have done. So are you saying that I can skip the entire JNA section?
4)I followed the link that you posted, but from there I am not sure what to do. I am not sure where files are suppose to live in a Linux world.

So it seems that from your post I could use the java script that you wrote to install the correct java, install filebot with the ipkg install command and then put the native binaries within the filebot folder that is created when it is installed and it should work?

2.
If ipkg or dpkg is available on your system then I'd recommend using that. Modifying filebot.sh shouldn't be necessary neither.

3.
I think you can skip this step completely nowadays.

4.
You can download the native libraries from there. Just putting them in the filebot folder should work, depending on what you've set in filebot.sh library path settings.

Hi Rednoah,

So I reinstalled my OS (ubuntuMate) and tried to reinstall filebot. I used your java script (not sure that it worked as when i typed java -version I didn't get anything so just follow the steps above that worked the first time), skipped the JNA, had to use tar to extract the .ipk file as I didn't have ipkg, put the libraries into the same folder as filebot (/usr/share/filebot/) but it does not seem like filebot got installed correctly. I was able to confirm that I have java installed with java -version. When I type Filebot at a terminal I get "Error: Unable to access jarfile /opt/share/filebot/Filebot.jar"

Again I am very weak when it comes to Linux and computers in general so any advice you have is great.

So for anyone following this I found my error. When extracting the filebot.ipk and then copying it from the tmp directory to here

#Copy contents of /tmp/filebot/opt/share/* to /usr/share/
cp -r /tmp/filebot/opt/share/* /usr/share/

This isn't where the filebot.sh looks for filebot. So while it shouldn't be necessary to modify the filebot.sh script since I move it to a different folder it was.

Here is the script that comes with filebot

I had to change
APP_ROOT="/opt/share/filebot"
to
APP_ROOT="/usr/share/filebot"

Now should I take out the # in front of

# EXTRACTOR="SevenZipNativeBindings" # use the lib7-Zip-JBinding.so native library
# EXTRACTOR="SevenZipExecutable" # use the 7z executable

If I am to use the amc filebot script?

No. Why? Do you have any problems with archive extraction?

I thought that the # means that the line is for information only and when I saw EXTRACTOR="ApacheVFS" I wondered if I needed to remove the # so that the 7z executable would work. Still trying to learn how to pass arguments to filebot one at a time so I have not been able to know if the archive extraction works.

https://svn.code.sf.net/p/filebot/code/ ... linux-arm/

Is this still the latest native dependencies list for filebot for linux-arm distro?

I tried reinstalling and I am getting an error unable to load library 'zen' Native library (linux-arm/libzen.so) not found.

1.
Yes. But you may not need all of them.


2.
I recommend using ApacheVFS but if you change it to SevenZipNativeBindings then, and only then, will you need lib7-Zip-JBinding.so and libmediainfo.so for extract to work.

If you have installed the the 7z tool with all plugins (i.e. RAR) then I can also recommend SevenZipExecutable.

rednoah wrote: I recommend using ApacheVFS.

Thanks. So when I run I get a line that says

Apache Commons VFS: [zip, ftps, rar, ftp, tar, tgz, tbz2. sftp]

So I guess Filebot is using Apache?

So will I need any of the media libraries that were previously recommended?
