FileBot

Can FileBot automatically add the language (e.g. "ENG" or "DE") to srt files when renaming them (sometimes it does sometimes it does not)?


And the same for forced subs:

becomes:

Yes, that's what {subt} and {lang} are for. The {plex} binding will also take care of the subtitle tag implicitly.

What format are you using?

Thank you, rednoah.

Strange, {subt} and {plex} are not implemented. Where do I have to add them? And although I have {lang} added sometimes it does not work.

I use this format:
I:\Eigene Dateien\Videos\Filme\{n.replace(':', ' -')} ({y}){' CD'+pi}{'.'+lang}{tags}{file.path =~ /Kinofassung/ ? '[Theatrical Cut]' : ''}

Many thanks again

1.
Are you using the latest version of FileBot?

2.
Are you testing with real text-based subtitle files? If you use image-based subtitle files (e.g. idx/sub) or empty files then statistical language detection may not work.

1. Yes, I do, the portable one.

2. Yes, I use the original srt files, no dummies, empty files or such.

If you use image-based subtitle files (e.g. idx/sub)

I do not know what image-based file are, but, yes, such files I have also and idx files.

What's the sysinfo output?

This indicates that you're using an older version.

Language detection won't work for idx/sub files, unless you add language tags like ".eng" to the filename yourself first. You won't have such issues with *.srt or *.ass subtitle files.

Sorry, how can I get that output? It is 4.7.2:

Sorry again, I meant not implemented in my formats, it is available:

Alright, so I would have to add the language tags manually to idx/sub files.

If you want to test these bindings, you need to select a sample file.

"plex" => NO
"C:/path/to/subtitles.eng.srt" => YES

Click on the "Open Folder" icon and select a subtitle file you want to test with.

"plex" => NO
"C:/path/to/subtitles.eng.srt" => YES

Very sorry, I cannot understand.

The "Media File" input field expects you to enter a valid file path. "plex" is not a valid file path.

Sorry again, where do I have to add {subt} and {plex} to my format?

Wherever you want. Most people would put it at the end.

e.g. 1st built-in example movie format:

So, this could be right:

I:\Eigene Dateien\Videos\Filme\{n.replace(':', ' -')} ({y}){' CD'+pi}{'.'+lang}{tags}{file.path =~ /Kinofassung/ ? '[Theatrical Cut]' : ''}{n.colon(' - ')} ({y}){' CD'+pi}{subt}

?

And where can I add {plex}?

At this point you can either pay me for my services, or figure it out for yourself. I most highly recommend the latter.

Ah yes, thank you, that's a great and cool idea, how much do you want? May be I could also pay some money for using this nice website and or the traffic I am generating posting here. Hope, it will not be that much.

Your format already looks good to me. I see no reason why you'd want to use the {plex} binding if you already have your customized format.

With this format
I:\Eigene Dateien\Videos\Filme\{n.replace(':', ' -')} ({y}){' CD'+pi}{'.'+lang}{tags}{file.path =~ /Kinofassung/ ? '[Theatrical Cut]' : ''}{n.colon(' - ')} ({y}){' CD'+pi}{subt}
Filebot does this:


There must be anything wrong with the format.
