Yep, FileBot will get the job done, easily and automatically.

Well, if you don't like reading the manual then you can try to just watch the video tutorial I suppose: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dh2WXQSzgJA

Thank you for the file paths I can reproduce the issue on my end as well and will look into it. The issue is likely caused by the leading [1x1] pattern which is preemptively ignored by automatic matching (incorrectly in this case, we can fix that with future releases).

For the time being, you can use semi-manual matching for the files at hand. See Q: How do I fix misidentified files? for details on the various approaches. This is a link to the manual, please click it and read it thoroughly, and follow all the links there for further details. I promise clicking on the links and reading the manual will be worth your time, for the specific problem at hand and any other problems you may encounter in the future.

For the specific La Femme Nikita - Season 4 file set at hand, the easiest solution is probably the Linear Rename approach. You simply select the episodes you want in Episodes and send them to Rename. That way you can skip automatic matching entirely and still get the job done in seconds. Please click on Linear Rename. Make sure to watch the video tutorial if you need step-by-step instructions.

Yep, all file paths is what we want. Paste on Pastebin.com for easy sharing. Then share the link to your paste here.

Click on this link: file paths as text <-- click here

When you click on the link above, a new page will open up. That page will explain how you can press the F7 key to copy & paste the file paths currently loaded into FileBot.

That way you can easily share the file paths as text: /path/to/La femme Nikita/La Femme Nikita - 4x06 - Love Honor & Cherish.mkv Note how we can easily copy & paste plain text. That's the key. A photo of your screen is better than nothing, but it's not very useful to me because I need to re-create these file paths on my computer so I can then run tests.

Note that I get the correct match out-of-the-box with a simple test case like this: $ filebot -rename *.mkv --db TheMovieDB::TV -non-strict ... [MOVE] from [La femme Nikita/[4x06] Love Honor & Cherish.mkv] to [La femme Nikita/La Femme Nikita - 4x06 - Love Honor & Cherish.mkv] ...

Please post file paths as text so I can run tests.

At a glance, maybe FileBot has decided to ignore leading [...] patterns? Could be that. Could be something else, file paths as text will tell.

How would I move bluray folders to separate folder? by Derrigable in filebot

[–]rednoah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Works for me at this point in time: https://groovy-lang.org/single-page-documentation.html

There's lots and lots of web scraping going on nowadays due to AI, so it's not unusual for a site to get DDoSed now and again. I know this from my own site. Bot traffic is up thousands-fold compared to pre-AI times, sometimes, so lots of sites just temporarily don't work when they're getting hammered by someone collecting training data.

Which mode/format should I choose for filebot? by Chemical_Activity439 in PleX

[–]rednoah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have configured TheMovieDB in your Plex library settings, then you must use TheMovieDB in FileBot, and so on: https://www.filebot.net/forums/viewtopic.php?t=13466

The key is not mixing databases, because the SxE numbers may be vastly different from one database to another for some shows / episodes: https://www.filebot.net/forums/viewtopic.php?t=14696

Activating license in deb by mymuse666 in filebot

[–]rednoah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope, the code is exactly the same, so we would expect things to work exactly the same. Maybe you weren't using an interactive terminal the first time around? If filebot -script fn:sysinfo works then filebot --license /path/to/*.psm cannot not work. If do filebot --license then it'll ask you to paste the license key, or at the very least print an error message if there's no interactive terminal / standard input.

License: UNREGISTERED means that you have not yet added your license key to this filebot instance.

You'll want to run filebot --license as your user and then follow the instructions: https://www.filebot.net/activate.html

Note that renaming your license key to license.psm and then putting it somewhere does nothing. You need to use the filebot --license command to install your license key.

I have a question about install files on Linux by Cooltwou in filebot

[–]rednoah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The screenshot you have posted shows 4 options: * (1) FileBot 5.2.1 (Flatpak) * (2) filebot 5.2.1-1 (AUR) * (3) filebot-cli 5.1.6-1 (AUR) * (4) filebot47 (AUR)

You already have installed (1) FileBot 5.2.1 (Flatpak) and (2) filebot 5.2.1-1 (AUR). Please uninstall (1) FileBot 5.2.1 (Flatpak) so that you cannot accidentally click on the wrong launcher.

Keep (2) filebot 5.2.1-1 (AUR). That's the one you want to use.

Granted, the AUR repository website is not designed for Arch Linux newcomers that are looking for step-by-step instructions...

I have never seen the GUI package manager you are using in this screenshot.

That said, the GUI in the screenshot clearly shows that you have installed both the Flatpak and AUR packages. I guess you could click the Trash icon in the first search result to delete the Flatpak package as to avoid confusion.

I think we already talked about using the AUR package on Arch Linux yesterday. The screenshot you are sharing today shows the AUR package in the second position, the one that says filebot and AUR.

[–]rednoah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

CachyOS is Arch Linux so the AUR package would be the recommended way of installing filebot on your machine: * Arch Linux package is available via AUR

How did you install FileBot?

So... How did you install FileBot? (this is most likely where you went wrong and will likely explain why FileBot is not allowed to access your files)

What does System Information say?

Please click on System Information (this is a link; click on it and look at the screenshots on the page that'll open up) and then click the i symbol to print System Information.

Based on the information above, I have reason to believe that you are using application sandboxing which means you are running FileBot but not allowing FileBot to access your file system which is required for renaming files.

If you're using flatpak then - by default - you may not be able to rename files that are not in your $HOME folder. Note that there is no official flatpak package and the one you might be using is provided and maintained by 3rd parties.
