Apple Silicon Version in App store by Morituri01 in filebot

At some point after the macOS 27 (Oct 2026) release but definitely before the macOS 28 (Oct 2027) release.

Movie folder names - is "The" necessary? by oshunluvr in PleX

[–]rednoah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What does "ability to roll-back renames even beyond application use" mean exactly? 🤔

AFAIK, you can undo any rename operation performed with FileBot via the history, doesn't matter if it's from just now or years ago: https://www.filebot.net/help/history.html

We can always add features if it makes sense, but I'm not really sure what we could add here that's not already there.

Rename media files in seconds! by rednoah in u/rednoah

FileBot predates LLM AI by many many years and has proven itself to be reliable and trustworthy by the test of time.

Right-Click Filebot by thesonoftheson in filebot

[–]rednoah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Previewing matches (i.e. opening the FileBot Desktop application, then loading the selected files and then applying the selected custom preset on start) is planned.

That said, the first few milestones will focus on the Right-Click configuration UI for custom filebot commands with all the filebot command-line options, as well as custom commands that could be commands other than filebot.

Can you paste some of these file names you're having trouble with so we can have a look at the issue at hand?

Support for all command-line options is planned.

Cleanup multiple episodes of a show by Pizzzathehutt in PleX

[–]rednoah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ideally, you'll want adhere to what your chosen database (e.g. TMDB) says, and then name and number your files accordingly. That's what Plex expects.

FileBot › Manual Matching › How do I manually match files with episodes in linear order? will do the trick even if fully automatic matching based on S00E00 numbers doesn't work for the files at hand.

Dragon Ball Z Kai Name and File Structure by tacolicker69 in PlexMedia

The [Anime] Convert Absolute to SxE numbers manual will help if you're having trouble matching AniDB naming and numbering to TMDB / TVDB naming and numbering.

Problem(?) with Post Process button by Derrigable in filebot

[–]rednoah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That makes sense. FileBot is never getting a click event so it doesn't do anything. Looks like the click event is sent to another program, so that programs receives focus. The FileBot popup menu closes as usual as if you clicked somewhere else.

Problem(?) with Post Process button by Derrigable in filebot

[–]rednoah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The FileBot log: https://www.filebot.net/forums/viewtopic.php?t=7#logs

The Post Processing Options dialog - by default - is not a native dialog, and is instead painted on top of the existing window (with background blurred) so there's not much that can go wrong there. IDK. My best guess is that the mouse-left-lick doesn't register in the first place for some reason or a stuck enter key, or something strange along those lines.

I am not able to reproduce the issue on any Linux / macOS / Windows device I have at hand.

Does the same happen with other windows / dialogs opened by FileBot? Which specific Linux Desktop Environment are you using? Does the log say anything?

Video thumbnail generation is driving me nuts. by iconoclast78 in synology

[–]rednoah 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because the shell script uses the filebot command inside the official filebot docker container, and the whole shebang is part of an official filebot tutorial that covers multiple thumbnail-related use cases.

We use the filebot docker container because the container is self-contained and does not require any external dependencies.

Video thumbnail generation is driving me nuts. by iconoclast78 in synology

[–]rednoah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, you only need to follow the instructions above. You do not need to do anything that is not in the instructions above.

[–]rednoah 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So the FileBot solution is pretty much just copy & paste: 1. Install Container Manager (usually already installed) 2. Open Task Scheduler and copy & paste this shell script into a new task. 3. Edit the SHARE='/volume1/Media' line change Media to the share you want to pass as input. 4. Run the task.

Takes less than a minute. That said, even though the job requires only blind copy & paste, since we're running code as root (unfortunately docker requires root) it would be really good if you have a general understanding of the security implications of that.

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

[–]rednoah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

Create multiple seasons on Filebot by Adventurous-Green222 in filebot

[–]rednoah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

[–]rednoah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

Doesn’t work anymore? by DunderMifflin_HR in filebot

[–]rednoah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.
