In order for files to be indexed properly by the Fire TV, I need to get the naming consistent. In comes Filebot, which does exactly that and has a very nice terminal/command line implementation - see http://www.filebot.net/cli.html.

Installing Filebot

In order to run Filebot on Ubuntu server 12.04, Java needs to be upgraded to Java 8 , see here for the way to do it. Then follow the second half of this script to install filebot itself.

Running Filebot

See bash script in the repo.

NOTE: I haven’t updated the script to incorporate the TV series side of things but this will be coming shortly. In the meantime, the filebot command is as below.

filebot -rename "Serie/season/" --format "{n} E{e} [{t}]" -non-strict
