Renaming
When you download subtitles in the manor above the will download in the format: show-name.language.srt i.e. Falling Skies S05E01.eng.srt
To rename them to match the the show name, i.e. show-name.srt undertake the following:
Download the replace.groovy file to your ~/Bin/lib directory.
Then run the following command (which goes on the internet and gets a current version):
filebot -script fn:replace --def "e=.eng.srt" "r=.srt" /path/to/Videos/TV/show/
If you have already downloaded the subtitle file you will need to run it locally using the replace.groovy file:
filebot -script /home/path_to/Bin/lib/replace.groovy --def "e=.eng.srt
Thanks to Filebot Forums.
Archive Extracting
filebot -extract /path/to/rar/files/
Video File Renaming
Test before renaming...
filebot --action test -rename ... etc
With underscores for space...
filebot -rename --format "{n.space('_')}_{s00e00}" /path/to/videos
Simple renaming files in current folder...
filebot -rename --format "{n} {s00e00}" .
With spaces... (optimised for Kodi and Plex)
filebot -rename --format "{n} {s00e00}" /path/to/videos -non-strict
...and if you have a slightly differently named folder...
filebot -rename --format "{n.space('_')}_{s00e00}" --q "Stella 2012" --db thetvdb ~/Videos/TV/Stella/
...full example...
filebot --action test -rename --format "{n} {s00e00}" --output "/path/to/Plex/TV/House" "/path/to/Downloads/Videos/ToDo/House/Season 1/" -non-strict
...full example with recursion...
filebot --action test -rename --format "{n} {s00e00}" --output "/path/to/Plex/TV/House" "/path/to/Downloads/Videos/ToDo/House/" -non-strict -r
filebot --action test -rename --format "{n} {s00e00}" --q "True Detective" --output "/home/user/Emby/TV/True Detective" "/home/user/torrents/completed/tv/True.Detective.Season.1.Complete.720p.WEB.x264/" -non-strict -r
...then, after testing, replace test with move...
filebot --action move -rename --format "{n} {s00e00}" --output "/path/to/Plex/TV/House" "/path/to/Downloads/Videos/ToDo/House/" -non-strict -r
USUAL ROUTINE
filebot --action test --db TheTVDB --q "War of the Worlds 2019" -rename --format "{n} {s00e00}" --output "/home/user/Emby/TV/War of the Worlds (2019) [tvdbid=370139]" "/home/user/Downloads/Videos/ToDo/War.of.the.Worlds.2019.S02.720p.DSNP.WEB-DL.DDP5.1.H.264" -non-strict -r
filebot --action move --db TheTVDB --q "War of the Worlds 2019" -rename --format "{n} {s00e00}" --output "/home/user/Emby/TV/War of the Worlds (2019) [tvdbid=370139]" "/home/user/Downloads/Videos/ToDo/War.of.the.Worlds.2019.S02.720p.DSNP.WEB-DL.DDP5.1.H.264" -non-strict -r

Create the directories and download the scripts...
sudo mkdir -p /usr/local/bin/lib cd /usr/local/bin/lib sudo wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/filebot/scripts/master/lib/htpc.groovy cd /usr/local/bin sudo wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/filebot/scripts/master/amc.groovy sudo wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/filebot/scripts/master/replace.groovy
Test...
/usr/bin/filebot -script "/usr/local/bin/amc.groovy" --output "/path/to/Videos" --log-file "/tmp/amc.log" --action copy --conflict override -non-strict --def "seriesFormat=TV/{n}/{n} {s00e00}" "movieFormat=Movies/{n} ({y})/{n} ({y})" subtitles=en artwork=y clean=y "ut_dir=/path/to/Downloads/transmission/tv/TV.Show.S01E06.720p.HDTV" "ut_kind=multi" "ut_title=TV.Show.S01E06.720p.HDTV"
Create the following script called /usr/local/bin/transmission_filebot.sh to run filebot using the amc.groovy file...
#!/bin/bash
HOME=/zfs/zpool1/
/usr/bin/filebot -script "/usr/local/bin/amc.groovy" --output "/zfs/zpool1/Videos" --log-file "/tmp/amc.log" --action copy --conflict override -non-strict --def "seriesFormat=TV/{n}/{n} {s00e00}" "movieFormat=Movies/{n} ({y})/{n} ({y})" artwork=y clean=y "ut_dir=$TR_TORRENT_DIR/$TR_TORRENT_NAME" "ut_kind=multi" "ut_title=$TR_TORRENT_NAME"
Now stop transmission-daemon...
sudo service transmission-daemon stop
Edit the /etc/transmission-daemon/settings.json file...
sudo nano /etc/transmission-daemon/settings.json
Add or edit the lines...
"script-torrent-done-enabled": true, "script-torrent-done-filename": "/usr/local/bin/transmission_filebot.sh",
Now start transmission-daemon...
sudo service transmission-daemon start

FileBot + XBMC
- You need to add the xbmc=localhost to the scripting command line.
- You need to download https://raw.githubusercontent.com/filebot/scripts/devel/lib/htpc.groovy and add it to a /lib/ folder.
e.g.
~/bin/lib/htpc.groovy
Troubleshooting
WARNING: An illegal reflective access operation has occurred
If you are using the latest FileBot and amc groovy script then you will see the following (harmless) warnings...
WARNING: An illegal reflective access operation has occurred WARNING: Illegal reflective access by org.codehaus.groovy.vmplugin.v7.Java7$1 (file:/usr/share/filebot/jar/groovy.jar) to constructor java.lang.invoke.MethodHandles$Lookup(java.lang.Class,int) WARNING: Please consider reporting this to the maintainers of org.codehaus.groovy.vmplugin.v7.Java7$1 WARNING: Use --illegal-access=warn to enable warnings of further illegal reflective access operations WARNING: All illegal access operations will be denied in a future release
You can safely ignore them, but if you want to hide these warnings - add the following line to your ~/.bashrc and log back in before running your FileBot script again...
