If you had a ticket about this issue during the weekend and had a manual upgrade done you should also install Filebot now via the apps menu so all required fixes for this new version are installed and configured. Do note as previously mentioned this is a paid version (6 USD a year) and you will require a license to install it. Please check this wiki page to see how to install Filebot. To give our members a chance to get a working Filebot again I just pushed some code that lets you install the latest version of Filebot. Newer paid versions of Filebot are using the V2 API and are therefor still working.
The free Filebot version uses the V1 API which at the time of writing is completely broken. API which Filebot uses to rename TV Shows released a new API (v3) that broke backwards compatibility with the older APIs. Most of the time this was not a huge problem as the rename rules are pretty universal and as such new updates didn't really bring much new value except fixing a rename bug here and there.
This meant that we were locked out of future updates and we were stuck at the latest free version. Sadly some time ago the Filebot author decided to make Filebot a paid product only. I made sure that apps such as Deluge, rTorrent and NZBGet all work with Filebot out of the box so no configuration from our members is needed, while still retaining the power to change our defaults if they want to. I choose Filebot at the time because it was open-source, free and portable piece of software that greatly helped Plex identify files. When I wrote the original Appbox software stack a few years back I made Filebot an integral part of the software. I wanted to give you some details on our Filebot setup, why it stopped working and what we can do about it.įor those that don't know Filebot is an application that helps you identify files and automatically symlink (or rename/copy/move) them in such a way that other software can quickly identify the content based on a few rules. This weekend the version of Filebot we are running on our servers stopped processing TV Shows. Edit: We are keeping track of various issues related to this here.
