{lang} is only defined for subtitle files. So if you’re testing with video files that warning is to be expected and can be ignored. The {'.'+lang} part gives subtitle files the additional language suffix (e.g. .eng) but won’t affect naming of video files due to {lang} being undefined for these cases.
Pretty much. It’ll give you the relative plex path for Movie/Episode/Music objects. Just play with the Format Editor for a few minutes and then it’ll all make sense.
Just thought I’d point out an interesting bug(?) I noticed. I was trying to match Star Trek: The Next Generation. I’d drag my files in and press match. Because there’re lots of series with a similar name, the box would pop up where it’d ask me to identify the correct series on TVDB. I’d select The Next Generation, and continue. And then FileBot loads the names for the Original Series. Tested multiple times again and again, and restarted and tested again. Every time I tell it to match to the Next Generation, it pulls the episode names for the Original Series. Same results for one season at a time. Manually finding the episodes in the next tab has no issues.
Curiously, Deep Space Nine did not have this issue.
What’s happening is that FileBot is considering multiple options to begin with, some of which it may ask about , some of which don’t need asking about. That’s just my guess. Without the filenames I can’t tell you what’s going on.
Where would I find the logs? I was able to reproduce the issue by creating a file named “Star.Trek.TNG.S01E04.Code of Honor.avi” and running it through FileBot. It asks specifically how it should match that file, I select next gen, and it matches to tos instead. I’m guessing it’s because it was named “star.trek.tng” instead of “star.trek.the.next.generation” or such. It just threw me off because it specifically asked how to match it and then ignored that entirely.
That explains things. FileBot will search by “Star Trek” (makes sense, no questions) and “Star Trek TNG” (makes no sense, because it hasn’t been added as alias yet, so it’ll ask) and decides that “Star Trek” makes the most sense.
I’ll add “Star Trek: TNG” to my alias list.
In the meanwhile you can always skip auto-detection by SHIFT-CLICKING the datasource.
Ah ok. I get it now. While you’re at it VOY = Voyager, ENT = Enterprise, DS9 = Deep Space Nine, TOS = The Original Series (just Star Trek). Tested Shift+click as well and that works perfectly. Thanks for the tips!
Hiya, I switched to the Deluge client and am facing a different problem (I’m really sorry I would post on the FB forums but the captcha’s bugged out so I’m not able to register)
