FileBot is the ultimate tool for renaming your tv shows and anime, downloading subtitles from various sources or just simple file verification. FileBot is now available as a simple to install Synology Package.
How?
Just add http://packages.missilehugger.com to your Synology Package Center and install the package.
FileBot is now available from the command line through SSH or the Web Console package.
For example try:
filebot -version
Thanks for this package. It works very well, except that it won’t accept a –format modifier. Trying to specify a format, any format, outputs the error
“-” is not a valid option.
1. run filebot -help
2. notice it’s –format with two –
Apparently here double dash is auto-correct to long dash in this forum. Anyway check the help page. It’s single dash for actions and double dash for options.
You’ll notice that my double dash was also corrected to a long dash (i.e., I posted that the format option returned an error, even though I was using two dashes). Does the format option work on your setup? Because it doesn’t work on mine, even with the two dashes.
I had this problem too. It seems the filebot script has a bug in passing the arguments to the java process.
You need to ssh into the nas and edit the filebot command to put quotes around the $@ symbol. I also had to change where filebot created its cache as it kept trying to run in the root home. You can file the filebot script using this and opening it in vim:
> vim $(which filebot)
then change the java line to this:
java -Xms32m -Xmx64m -Dapplication.deployment=ipkg -Dapplication.dir=/tmp/filebot -Djava.io.tmpdir=/tmp/filebot/temp -jar /usr/local/filebot/filebot.jar “$@”
Hi,
I still get the “Failed to load libzen” error whenever I try to get mediainfo information. Do I need to configure anything special? I have the mediainfo package installed as well
Unfortunattely mediainfo is not supported by FileBot on Synology due to DSM restrictions.
hi. can you post a step by step how to use this on my syno NAS? the movie files is inside NAS already..
please update to version 3.0
i’m getting problems with libzen+ mediainfo + 7zip:
Sep 16, 2012 8:49:16 AM net.sourceforge.filebot.mediainfo.MediaInfo
WARNING: Failed to preload libzen
MediaInfo: java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: Unable to load library ‘mediainfo’: libmediainfo.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

help?
Unfortunattely mediainfo is not supported by FileBot on Synology due to DSM restrictions.
Thanks, and 7-zip?
Also, can you elaborate on what are the restrictions?
Thanks again.
7z-JBinding only has pre-compiled for normal x86/x64 machines.
If you have an an ARM you’re out of luck since there is no pre-compiled native libs for that. With ATOM you might think you can just use the normal x86/x64 libs, but no, they we’re compiled against GLIBC_2.4 which is not used in the stripped down synology linux boxes.
However, it should be possible to build 7z-JBinding on/for an ARM/ATOM box, just nobody got it working yet.
Same applies to MediaInfo native libs.
hello,
how do i use filebot on synology ?
it looks like it’s running when i open the package center but what should i do in order to rename files i have already downloaded ?
Tnx
Once installed, you can execute the filebot command from the command line. You can also automate filebot, for more info:

Hi,
I can’t get filebot to work with java 1.7. Did I do something wrong?
I get the following error: please install “java>=1.6.0.32-4″ before installing this package.
Missing info: I’m installing it on a Synology DS413
same problem here, Java is installed (V1.7) and i keep receiving the error “please install “java>=1.6.0.32-4″ before installing this package” when trying to install FileBot
I get the same error, tried with both 1.6 and 1.7 version of java. I suspect it has to do something with the version numbering of the java packets, for example both packages have their corret versioning numbers ie 1.6.0 or 1.7.0 but both have a _ right after that. For example 1.6.0_38-0014, i believe that filebots fail to install because it cannot correctly read/fetch the version number. So it believes that the version we have installed is less than 1.6
Hope it will be fixed soon, i use the java applet as of now, would be nice to be able to run it from my nas (seeing as i cannot enter my fqdn/ip number of my nas from the java applet). Awesome program thus far! Correctly fetches episode/season numbering
Hi,
I have the same issue that the shell does not pass the arguments correctly to filebot. Can you please tell me how to fix the startup script? I’m a Linux noob.
3.5 is up
Will you be able to update to v3.6? Your efforts and packages are very appreciated.
Thanks!
