FileBot

the rename format "{ny}/{ny}" doesn't work on the synology package. It works in the graphical windows version. Both are latest (4.7.5).

admin@NAS-ETTE:/volume1/Downloads/MoviesTemp$ filebot -rename --db TheMovieDB --format "{ny}/{ny}" "Art of Skiing, The (1941).mkv"

Failure (°_°)

The format clearly works: Are you sure this file exists? If yes, then it's probably a file permission issue. The error says you're calling FileBot on a file that doesn't exist.

Yeah I assumed that error was indicating that perhaps fielbot was doing things out of sequence (e.g. renaming the file then calling java with the old filename) or there was some race condition between the filesystem and the call to java. I assumed this would be reasonably likely given that my format was essentially moving the file under a directory of same name. Hence why I assumed it was an issue with the format spec.

But going with perms issue, I don't see what it could be since the file exists and has 777 (see below). Also the file is owned by the same user with which I run filebot (admin), so I don't know what perms issue could possibly be...

admin@NAS-ETTE:/volume1/Downloads/MoviesTemp$ ls -la

This is the file that exists: This is the file that you're trying to process: Next time, just pass in the current folder, as to avoid entering complicated filenames on the command-line:

Yes I had found that and tried to post an update but was getting cloudfare connect errors. I did have another issue, I am now trying to change the format to improve lexical sort order per your post here viewtopic.php?t=211, but it doesn't work on the synology package It works on windows but on synology package I get: ", (1941)/, (1941).mkv"

Again, user error. If you're using the shell, you may want to brush up on some basics first.

e.g. compare and contrast: @see viewtopic.php?f=4&t=1899
@see viewtopic.php?f=3&t=3244

ok thank you for refreshing - good to go now after escaping the $'s
