I'm getting some strange behaviour in Filebot while trying to rename episodes of Shameless (US), and I'm not sure if it is a bug or an API problem.

When I load my file into Filebot Shameless.US.S02E05.Fathers.Day.mp4 returns as Shameless - 2x05 - Episode 5.mp4.
If I then load the newly renamed file Shameless - 2x05 - Episode 5.mp4 back into Filebot I then get Shameless (US) - 2x05 - Father's Day.mp4 which is what I should have got in the first place.

I don't know if I did something wrong (have I posted this in the wrong place?), or if it just got overlooked but this behaviour is still ongoing.
Does anyone have any thoughts, suggestions .... anything?

Looks like it is mistaking it for the UK series the first time. Try the US in brackets (US). that's how it is named on thetvdb.

Thank you Nick. I will try that when the next ep comes in.

Please report mismatches in the FileBot forums. These issues can usually be fixed with a few small tweaks online for everybody.

Since 1 or 2 days FileBot does not work anymore. This message appears: http://i.imgur.com/OzDbUbz.png

Is there a way to make FileBot work?

[Carrion]

Great piece of software, use it on an almost daily base. Only problem I get is with the show "Fear The Walking Dead". Even though the original filename is "Fear.The.Walking.Dead.S01E03.x264.mkv" it will always match it with "The Walking Dead" instead of "Fear The Walking Dead".

But other than that it's a fantastic program!

I would love to try this out but the problem is it needs java to run and I will not go anywhere near that software. is there a version that does not require java ?


thanks

[rednoah42]

it needs java to run and I will not go anywhere near that software

Whatever you read on mediocre tech blogs, it does not apply to FileBot and it's use of the Java runtime.

Just get the latest JDK and disable Applets:

Hi,

I read on the first post that filebot can also download subtitles.
will filebot also consider the framerate of the video?
For instance, if I rip a video from a blu-ray, it could have a 23.976 fps framerate while some subtibles I found on internet are made for 25 fps (DVD or TV recording).
