FileBot in Windows is a bit tricky to use when it comes to batch subtitle downloads.
In particular, OpenSubtitles.org prevents leeching by requiring login details to be passed to Filebot. This isn’t so straightforward in Windows with no gui configuration available.
We are required to use the console version of FileBot from the windows commandline
Firstly, get into the commandline:
<win-R> cmd
Then do:
cd C:\Program Files\FileBot
Your prompt should now show:
C:\Program Files\FileBot>
Then do:
filebot.exe -script fn:configure
Enter OpenSubtitles username: ******
Enter OpenSubtitles password: ******
Testing OpenSubtitles... OK
Done
Finally, with all movies in a network-mounted Y:, for example, do:
filebot.exe -script fn:suball "Y:" --lang en -non-strict
My elaborate movie-format rename scheme follows:{n.space('_')}_({y})_[{af.lower()}_{ac.lower()}_{(int)video.framerate.toFloat()}fps_{(video.bitrate.toFloat()/1000).round()}kbps_{vc.lower()}_{vf}]
- yielding something like:
12_Years_a_Slave_(2013)_[6ch_dts_23fps_4324kbps_x264_720p].mkv
