Hi Rednoah. I've been looking at FileBot and want to setup the automatic 'watcher' script. Wondering if you could please explain how to install this, as I'm a bit of a noobie with this stuff.
I'm on a mac, have installed FileBot, but don't know how/where to add the groovy script. Do I have to use Transmission in order to activate it? Would like to just attach as a folder action on the completed download folder

FileBot 3.61 is out! [Get it here!](http://www.filebot.net/#download)
This update brings lots of little tweaks for movie and episode detection and fixes various issues that have come up since the last release.
Changes:
* Many little tweaks for movie/series/episode matching and detection

* Removed Sublight and Subscene because currently things are broken and can't be fixed without working APIs
* GUI does not allow override behaviour anymore as to avoid users inadvertently overriding files
Don't know if this is old or what, but I'm confused as to why this costs $3 in the Ubuntu Software Center but is free for the other platforms. Also, since I'm running Ubuntu Server, is there a way to download it via apt-get?

+1 vote for FileBot - it's a freaking epic little program.
Rednoah is also really active on the FileBot forums and quick to fix any issues encountered. :-)
As I fail to understand the concept of a 'Holiday', I've also written a few scripts to extend FileBot's functionality in Windows - they can be found on the FileBot forums:
Edit: @mAAdhaTTah - I think that's mostly as an option for people who want to help support the development. I think that there were/are plans to add some extra features for the paid/donation variants, but you can always download it for free (for multiple platforms) from the FileBot home page. Also, once it's installed, all you ever really need to update is FileBot.jar, which is available straight from SourceForge.

Hey Rednoah, thanks for an amazing app. I'm on Mac OS X Maverick. On version 4 the app is not starting- when I double click the app it fails to start. I get this in console:
3/14/14 11:40:33.259 PM Finder[196]: 8837325: Attempting to SIGCONT to pid #559 failed, with errno=#3, or the process failed to actually start
Any solution to this? I have had previous versions work.
Yes. But you'll need to call filebot from cmdline.
I'm running FileBot on my DS213j just fine. You just need to get Java working, then FileBot will work as well. There's some optional features like extract and mediainfo that may not work if it's an ARM or PPC device.
**FileBot 4.1 is out!** [Get it here!](http://www.filebot.net/#download)

The Pushbullet notification function is really sweet, but i received three notifications with only one download (might be because filebot treated the file and also downloaded 2 subtitles from opensubtitles). Am I doing something wrong?
Also, is there a way to change the name of the notification in filebot?
I downloaded the latest version and it no longer works on OS X 10.6.8. Has support for Snow Leopard been dropped?
