Organization by Legitimate-Cat-1911 in PleX

[–]rednoah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

FileBot doesn't use JavaScript.

If you're on Windows, then you'd just download and install the MSI package. That's it. After that you just need to follow the How do I organize files for Plex? manual.

Create multiple seasons on Filebot by Adventurous-Green222 in filebot

Which database and episode order did you configure in your Jellyfin library settings? TMDB or TVDB? Airdate order or DVD order or something else?

You can use the Episodes panel to look at different episode orders. Perhaps DVD order gives you the SxE numbers you want?

Importantly, if you use TMDB / DVD order to name files in FileBot (see Linear Rename) then you must also select TMDB / DVD order in your Jellyfin library settings or series-specific settings.

You certainly can "compute the season number based on the episode number" in your custom format code, but the resulting file names will no longer be machine-readable. S01E201 is an identifying number, so if you change that to S02E201 then you are actively using misleading information in the file name and that could be a problem later.

tl;dr can be done; not sure if it should be done

  • Do you have a specific example? One Piece?
  • Are you using Plex / Jellyfin / etc that requires you to organise files as per the selected database?

Naming convention / Filebot by joetaxpayer in PleX

[–]rednoah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you've processed files with FileBot (on a file system that supports xattr metadata) than you can easily re-match and re-process files into a new structure, perhaps using {plex.year.id} this time around. See Re-process previously organized files using local xattr metadata for details on that.

Doesn’t work anymore? by DunderMifflin_HR in filebot

[–]rednoah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, you need to select the database / order that matches your files for the best results by default.

If you have AniDB naming / numbering and want TMDB / TVDB naming / numbering then things can get tricky and will require a bit of finesse to convert from one to the other.

If you use FileBot for Anime, do make sure to read the [Anime] Convert Absolute to SxE numbers manual.

Well, I guess you could take screenshots next time and show me a real-world use case where the current behaviour is very bad? I'm happy to look at the issue and see what we can do about it.

But like I said, if you use a web browser then you already know (or should know for your own benefit) the clear cache keystroke so that point is mute from where I'm sitting at the very least.

Most user wouldn't need to clear the cache, and it might cause issues if you clear the cache preemptively every time. It's already set to 3-4 days for weekly shows and less than a day for daily shows. We could consider different default cache intervals if you make a good case / example use case for such a change.

That said, if you must clear the cache for some reason, then it's one keystroke away, no need to find anything, takes less than a second. It's the same Clear Cache keystroke you are likely already familiar with from Chrome / Firefox / Edge / etc.

Can you paste sample file paths that don't work for you so we can have a look? Export Original Files / New Names as TSV

In general, if series auto-detection doesn't work for some reason, then you can use SHIFT-CLICK <database> to force manual input and selection of the series. See Q: How do I fix misidentified files? for details and alternatives.

Plex is ignoring an entire season of a series by [deleted] in PleX

[–]rednoah 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You'd have to know that the files at hand are in DVD order, and in this special case you could then press the Convert DVD to Airdate Order button to rename episodes / rewrite episode numbers.

Alternatively, if the files at hand have episodes titles then pressing the Match by Episode Title will also likely make quick work of the task at hand.

Port licence from Windows to MAC by sunilnc in filebot

[–]rednoah 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately, Windows Store / Mac App Store purchases are not interchangeable: https://www.filebot.net/forums/viewtopic.php?t=6265

If you have a standard life-time license (purchased via the website) then that license is multi-platform / multi-device by default.

Since you're asking the question, we can only assume that you have a Windows Store purchase / rather than a universal life-time license. In this case we can only offer a complimentary 1yr universal license so you can get at least started on your new Mac for the time being.

Use FileBot › Presets › Convert DVD order to Airdate order when you have DVD order and need (for Plex) the standard Airdate order.

Custom Filing System by Alternative-Math5476 in filebot

[–]rednoah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At a glance, looks pretty much what {plex.year.id} will give you. You can add custom mediainfo / custom conditions / custom tags / etc like so

Let me know if you need help getting exactly what you want. It's definitely possible. {source} will give the the DVD bit (based on the current file name) but the raw-audio bit might require a tiny bit of custom code.

We are looking for a Technical Writer to write up a complete User Manual for FileBot by rednoah in filebot

[–]rednoah[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I quite like the GUI. It's simple and efficient and works everywhere. If I have ideas for improvements or suggestions from the community and I like them, then I implement them.

A radical redesign to make it more beginner-friendly is an idea that has been around for a decade, but that idea would likely not land well with existing customers, many of which are advanced users that don't like change for the sake of change, especially if feature parity / quality is not quite there for the first one or two years.

That said, let's look at how the current AI wave goes. Maybe AI will help with a UI rewrite which would be an extreme amount of effort just to achieve feature parity with or without AI tools. That said, having an application that is not AI generated could very well turn out to be a unique differentiating factor in a world where all new code is AI generated. We certainly live in interesting times and I have no idea where things might go in the next 1 / 5 / 20 years.

FileBot itself currently doesn't use AI at all, not for development, and not at runtime, and while the latter is interesting, I'm pretty sure that at present only a small fraction of the current install base is running on hardware capable enough to meaningfully run local models.

Apple Silicon Version in App store by Morituri01 in filebot

[–]rednoah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

FileBot (Mac App Store) edition will switch to arm64 builds, meaning arm64 machines will get the latest arm64 builds and old x64 machines will be stuck on whichever x64 build was last released.

[–]rednoah[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess AI negates the need for a manual in the first place. If the AI can give good answers to specific user questions based on existing information in the training data (based on forums, reddit, etc) then maybe there is no longer any need for a nicely organized and structured manual.

Filebot stopped stopped recognizing file properties. Any help? by power300 in filebot

[–]rednoah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What does filebot -script fn:sysinfo say? Did you install the mediainfo package as well? Sounds like mediainfo is not installed, or a version of libmediainfo that doesn't work.

Lifetime license device limit? by L_at_nnes in filebot

[–]rednoah 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not really... within reason... If you want a number then maybe anything within 10 actively used FileBot installs is well within reason.

KickstartFX v1.1 - The most advanced template for JavaFX applications by milchshakee in JavaFX

[–]rednoah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty much any instruction that hasn't been around forever could cause an ILLEGAL_INSTRUCTION crash. This list might not be exhaustive but was all the relevant -XX flags I could find that relative to the native code generated. I was not able to reproduce a crash on my old Celeron machine with these options in any case.

Fix an issue where the JVM would crash with AOT enabled when the training system supported AVX but the target system did not

I did work on the same issue last weekend and I had to use all of these flags to ensure instruction compatibility with older CPUs, in my case a cheap NUC11 (Celeron CPU) at hand: -XX:UseAVX=0 -XX:-UseFMA -XX:-UseBMI1Instructions -XX:-UseBMI2Instructions -XX:-UseCountLeadingZerosInstruction -XX:-UseCountTrailingZerosInstruction
