FileBot

Hello again,

i want to rename/copy some Movie´s with Filebot Node but it diddn´t works.
I have used the search function but unfortunately without success, maybe because I do not know exactly where to look for.

I want to Rename some Movie´s that exist in different Versions but only one is copied
Example:

from:
/Movies/Avatar.Aufbruch.nach.Pandora.2009
/Movie/Avatar.Aufbruch.nach.Pandora.Extended.Collectors.Edition.2009

or:
/Movies/Fifty.Shades.of.Grey.German
/Movies/Fifty.Shades.of.Grey.Uncut.German

to:
/Movie_Box/......

i used:

But after renaming only the first Movie is there, the second movie will always ignore or something else.
How can i rename multiple Movies with the "same" Name but different Version?

Thanks for the post! Before a real human comes by, please make sure your report has all the following points checked:

• What are you trying to do achieve? What's not working? What have you tried so far?
• Include screenshots, logs or filenames (i.e. demonstrate the issue)
• Include basic information (i.e. sysinfo output)

You're probably using the {plex} default format, which gives you a unique path per movie, and not per file variation. You need to use a format that generates a unique path for each of your files.

Use the GUI and play custom formats:

Sorry for the missing Infos:
I used the Filebot Node under Synology DSM and I have solved it first because i added {group}
If there is a better solution over the node, I would be glad if you can tell me how.


I still have a new problem today and did not want to make a new thread for it.
In the forum I have also found no solution ....
Unfortunately, sometimes I need sample codes to understand it correctly.

Is it possible via the Filebot Node to change the output path if a collection appears in the directory name?

Example:
input path:
/volume1/filebot_temp_unsortiert/

output path:
/volume1/filebot_sortiert/ or sometimes /volume2/filebot_sortiert/
Now, if there is any collection, I would like to have that the movie copied directly to the folder or path /volume1/filebot_sortiert/{collection+' '}[{genre}]/ And if not the movie path should be only /[{genre}]/


Example:

/volume1/filebot_sortiert/Movies/[Action]/...
/volume1/filebot_sortiert/Alien Sage [Horror]/...

Is it possible with Filebot Node?
Or would I have to create an extra "script" or "format" file?

But how File and whats the correct Code?
and how is it called under movieFormat =
I can not do it alone. Honestly, I would now also not spend hours reading, so one thing works.


I hope You can Help me again.
Big THX

1.
I recommend prototyping your format in the Format Editor GUI until you understand how it works. Playing with custom formats on the command-line instead of the Format Editor is a complete waste of effort and can't but result in failure. Be smart. Use the Format Editor.



2.
The solution to your particular problem seems straight-forward: @see viewtopic.php?f=5&t=1895

Thx for your Answer.

I will get the Format Editor GUI and test it in the future.
If I have to change something sometime at the format

Relatively new here and came across this post as I'm looking for the same. I've got a few movies with multiple cuts such as theatrical, directors, extended etc., however using the default formatting would result in collision. I haven't yet been able to find a solution but only have had FileBot for a few days now, previously used TheRenamer on Windows but now a Linux and Synology NAS user. Hence why I've converted to FileBot.

One of the previous posters advised to use the format prototyper in the GUI, and said that using the CLI was a recipe for disaster. I have to disagree with this because you can set the action option to "test" which will perform a dry run. You can then verify if the format string results in the desired output.

Adding information such as audio/video codec and video resolution should give you unique destination paths for each file.

e.g. @see viewtopic.php?f=5&t=4116

{tags} might be particularly useful here in generating unique paths because it'll try to preserve known patters such as "Directors Cut" from the original filename.

?
e.g.

2:17

on Windows you can't use ":" in filename

so maybe use
