Hi,
Running Filebot as a snap on my Ubuntu 16.04 system, I discovered that since few days it doesn't start anymore (have done only ubuntu daily updates but looks like it broke something for Filebot that was already working poorly
If I try to start it in command line to see the error, this is what I get:
Any ideas what's that damn problem ?
Thanks
Vincèn

I can confirm that I am facing the same issue on Ubuntu 16.04. GUI won't load after taking a lot of time to run. Running it through the terminal gives
Checked for unresolved dependencies. None exist. Also re-installed openjdk. No luck.

Yeah. Seems to be a bug related to snap. Some other applications are also facing a similar problem. One solution seems to be using a beta version of snap as follows:
I did try this and launched filebot from the terminal but ended up with issues like
Code: Select all
Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "overlay-scrollbar"
Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "canberra-gtk-module"
The application did load but then ended up with a whole lot of
java.io.FileNotFoundException
.
But this actually seems to work for some people and you might be one of the lucky ones. Let me know how it goes. Got to run to office.
Cheers,
Kevin

Found a quick fix. You can also run the portable version of the FileBot from SourceForge.
If you are not OK with portable apps for some reason, then you can uninstall the current snap package (After taking a backup of your current fancy naming formats, of course
) and then install the .deb package from SourceForge. A downside would be not getting updates unless installed manually I presume.

Thanks for the info about snap itself
Didn't think issue could be on that side !! Here after upgrading snap to beta channel Filebot is working back
If I remember portable version is not an option as it gets access at nothing regarding network shares....
Thanks a lot
