Tools and other software FileBot - The ultimate TV Renamer and Subtitle Downloader (4 Viewers)

[rednoah]

Though I guess people going through the trouble of adding stuff the TheTVDB need a quicker way to do this. It's not in 3.3 but with r1416 you can do Ctrl+Shift+Delete to clear the cache.

Suggestion for GUI:

[X] Remove empty directories after processing files

If you drag an entire directory into filebot GUI and then that directory is empty after moving the files then delete that directory.

Also if you drag an entire directory which includes video + .nfo files and within the GUI you delete the nfo files,
then if only nfo files remain in the directory after processing it would also delete the nfo files along with the directory.

I don't intend to make any kind of deleting files possible in the GUI. You can always just move rename to a different folder and then just delete everything that is left in the original folder.

Hi rednoah,

Is there a way to force filebot to use terracopy instead for moving files. I have terracopy registered as the default file handler for windows explorer.

Advantages of terracopy are:
CRC check post copying/moving files
Auto queueing if I am already copying another file from the same hard drive, or writing another file to the same destination disk

Hi Again

Filebot fails on http://thetvdb.com/?tab=series&id=82314

It tries to create a directory called "\When Louis Met...\"

example filename - "When Louis Met - S01E01 - Jimmy Savile.avi"

It does not realize it needs to clean series name prior to creating the directory for the series (only seems to know how to clean invalid episode filenames)

 

[rednoah]

Looks like windows doesn't allow folder names that end with "..." :/ You can fix that in your format for the time being.

EDIT: fixed with r1635

Hello again,

I have a script that makes thumbnails for tvrecordings and it uses filebot.jar, grab-fanart.groovy, and grab-tvthumb.groovy
It has stopped working, I tried updating to filebot3.6 latest portable installation.
Is there a problem with the scripting function for fanart + tvthumb at the moment?
