I'm running Mac OS and seeing the zero bytes issue a few other folks are, so I'm trying to upgrade.

I run

brew update && brew upgrade && brew cask install filebot --force --appdir=~/Applications

and it completes, but I'm still running 4.7.9 and not 4.7.13, like the troubleshooting guide recommends.

Code: Select all

filebot -script fn:sysinfo

outputs:

What am I missing when trying to upgrade to the latest version to fix the zero byte issue?

4.7.14 and up are only available on the Mac App Store currently. However, the Mac App Store doesn't support command-line applications and the brew cask package hasn't been updated. There's no out-of-the-box solution for Mac.

If you really need a fix, then you can use the portable package with the latest revision of the filebot jar of course, but that's for advanced users that know what they're doing.

Is there a plan to update brew with the fix?

I think the FileBot jar change you mentioned is over my head, unless there’s a guide somewhere I can at least try following.

Yes, but not in the near future.

Ok, I’ll try finding some steps to update the jar manually and hope that fixes things.

Thanks for the help.
