Filebot

This unofficial app installation script is provided for your convenience. The script is provided as-is and may not be updated or maintained by Ultra.cc. Clients are welcome to use and customize unofficial app installers for their unique needs and requirements. Unofficial support may be offered via Discord only and at the sole discretion of Ultra.cc staff. Use at your own risk and only proceed if you are comfortable managing the application on your own.

To use FileBot you will be required to purchase a FileBot license.
FileBot is a custom application with only a basic custom AMC provided. We can not provide support for FileBot beyond installation.

FileBot has a tendency to try and use resources outside of process limits which can cause problems. We would highly recommend an Indexer such as Sonarr/Radarr to organize your media.

For Transmission and rTorrent the AMC post-processing script is automatically added by the installer and further steps are needed.

AMC scripts automatically organize your latest media to your library. Once new media is detected, by default, the scripts do the following:

Unpack archives to ~/files/_extracted
Auto-detect movie and episode files
Fetch subtitles and transcode to SubRip/UTF-8
Creates a symbolic link and organizes episodes, movies, and music files to ~/media

You can also edit the scripts to your liking to automate more of your setup. For more information on AMC options, you can visit this link.

Troubleshooting FAQ for FileBot

Why doesn’t FileBot work? It used to!

Unfortunately, this is because of the TVDB API update around six months ago. The endpoints were updated in the latest versions of FileBot. We provide the last FOSS version. To keep using FileBot, you will need to purchase your license, import and update your FileBot on your slot. You may also find other alternatives.

Why does FileBot keep crashing?

Filebot is designed to compliment torrent clients on our infrastructure. Java, which is one of the dependencies of filebot, has a 1GB proclimit and is not recommended for running filebot in a cron or manage a whole folder at once. This type of action could quickly saturate an entire server’s cores.
