Filebot not found

[fexigo]

Hi

I got an windows 7 computer with the latest version of Deluge, Java, Filebot and FilebotTool plugin for Deluge. But I still get the message "Filebot not found". Filebot -version is working, and I can start Filebot.

What am I doing wrong??

No problem, this usually boils down to one of a few things on windows:

• Have you tried restarting both deluge and your PC since installing filebot?
• could you tell me where filebot is installed to? It should be something like C:\Program Files\FileBot\FileBot.exe.
• what comes up when you type filebot -version in the command line?
• are the permissions on filebot.exe and deluge.exe/deluged.exe the same?

It's best to just assume that the filebot command is in the %PATH% because the installation folder may not always be the same for everyone, especially not if deployed via the Windows Store.

[Laharah]

@rednoah, Yeah my module starts with checking the path, but it dosen't always work, particularly when permissions and strange path modifications for deluge users come in. I'm on the lookout for more places to check.

Hi.
I have tried to restart and reinstall both Deluge and Filebot.

Filebot is installed at C:\Program Files\FileBot\Filebot.exe

C:\Users\Fexigo>filebot -version
FileBot 4.7.9 (r4984) / Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment 1.8.0_131 / Windows 7 6.
1 (amd64)

Same permission for both programs.

[Laharah]

okay, just to make sure it's not the permissions, when you start deluge, can you right click it and hit run as administrator? If filebot still doesn't show up it'll have to be something else.

[rednoah]

@Laharah It's kinda tricky on Windows. I'd call commands with cmd.exe /c command ... to make sure it works as expected.

Actually, many users somehow end up with fucked up %PATH% variables (some installers do that) so it does make sense to check known locations as well.

If FileBot is managed by the Windows Store, then the executable will be here:

%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WindowsApps\filebot.exe

I'm having the same issue but on Mac OS. "Filebot version not found". I have Filebot installed and Deluge, and Filebot Tool works too. Any ideas?

[Laharah]

Sure, can you open up Terminal and tell me the output of these commands?

• ls -alL $(which filebot)
• ls -alL /Applications/Deluge.app/Contents/MacOS

And can you also tell me a little about how your deluge is setup (eg. is it running on a server or locally)?

[rednoah]

On Mac OS X, the filebot tool should be linked at /usr/local/bin/filebot.

[fexigo]

Hi.
I tried to start deluge with admin. Still having the same problem.

Also tried to reinstall deluge, filebot multiple times.

[Laharah]

@fexigo can you tell me a bit more about your setup? Is deluge in client-server mode or in "classic" mode (you can check by going to preferences -> interface)? What version of windows are you on?

[fexigo]

Hi. Im using classic mode and its a windows 7 pro computer.

The strange thing about this is when i right click the torrent and choose Filebot Tool i can see in task manager that two processes of Filebot *32 is started. And if i try to reboot my computer i got a system error that telling me that the application was unable to start correctly (0xc0000000XX).

[Laharah]

Hmm, okay, it seems like something else is going on. I've posted a release with some extra debug logging here:

https://github.com/Laharah/deluge-FileBotTool/releases/tag/1.1.9

Can you run it with logging on (see instructions here) and send me the logs?

[fexigo]

Wow! That is strange. Now its working. hmmmmmmm

[Laharah]

That is really weird, I only added some logging. Well, if you run into problems, feel free to post back here! I'm going to keep this open incase @Inglend needs more help.
