Comments and Reviews
Just started learning about XBMC, then Plex. Love Plex, but was dreading renaming all the tv and movies. Filebot (on sourceforge) worked great. A few little glitches, but way better than other alternatives. filebot.sourceforge.net.
You'll notice the help seems to be totally lacking, which almost killed it for me. But there are several videos on YouTube which saved the day. And quickly.
The website is confusing, it is not clear at all that now, it's a paid software, which as it, is not an issue at all, but when I see how scorful the software developper is, especially on how he reply on his forum to those simply asking is now, it's a commercial program, when reading is answers, showing pity to what now are is "clients" is for me enough to not use any longer that software.
Paying for it would not have been an issue at all, but at least, is website shall be clear, and also, using a link supposed to redirect to the ArchLinux AUR page, redirecting to a page for paying him, well, that is totally inappropriate.
Was a good software, but can do it other ways, and don't want to contribute generating incomes to someone seeming to play a game that I would define, as selfish and highly pretentious.
For those interested in a really powerful open source project where everything is clear to have a look at Kodi and all available extensions, you can add to it, to in fact obtain the same result with extensions to get subtitles, rename files and so on.
Will go for MediaElch, don't like to lose my time with those kinds of people.
The new license model allows for simple and clear pricing & licensing that is now the same on all platforms, including ArchLinux via the generic portable Linux package: https://www.filebot.net/#purchase

Seems to con people to upgrade. If you are on an old version you get a popup and it asks you to upgrade. It shows list of improvement but NOWHERE does it say it is now a paid for service. BIT OF A CON going on I thinks. I wont upgarde if I have to pay (especially for a subscrition service) as I dont need anything more than it does on the old version.
Old version that was free 5 stars but the new version and the way it tries to trick you into upgrading 1 star.
Sad to see that Filebot is now payware... Requires Java too...
Edit: Forget about downloading an older freeware version; they won't work...
Good news: As the dev points out in the link above, new free builds can be created from the source code ;)
Source code is no longer available.

Great App. So sad it became too expensive.
Great app! - one missing feature for me is ability to download URL's with link to movie page on IMDB etc - it would be great if this feature could be added
You can generate .nfo files and FileBot will already include the IMDb/TMDb links in there. Just grabbing that info and writing it into another file is easy from there.

An additional feature to remove junk files e.g. .jpg,.txt,.db,.nfo through a full tree structure would be very useful.
