FileBot Seedbox — Rename Media in One Click

What Is a FileBot Seedbox?

FileBot is the gold standard for renaming and organizing media: it matches messy release names against TheMovieDB and TheTVDB and turns them into clean, consistently named files that Plex and Jellyfin identify perfectly. On EvoSeedbox it runs right where your downloads land — no transferring files home to tidy them up.

Why Run FileBot on a Seedbox?

• Fix names at the source: rename releases the moment they finish downloading.
• Perfect library matches: proper naming is the difference between clean Plex artwork and a library full of mismatches.
• Batch power: process a whole season or an inherited library in one pass at datacenter disk speed.
• Subtitles too: FileBot can fetch matching subtitles while it renames.

FileBot on EvoSeedbox: What You Get

• One-click install from your dashboard — FileBot runs in its own isolated Docker container with automatic updates.
• Self-healing: App Doctor monitors your instance and repairs common failures automatically.
• 10 active installs on our fleet keeping libraries pristine.
• Web interface over HTTPS — drive it from any browser.

FileBot’s format expressions are its superpower: define exactly how files should be named — {n} ({y})/{n} ({y}) {vf}.{ext} and far beyond — and every rename follows it. The AMC (Automated Media Center) script takes it further, watching a folder and processing new arrivals unattended: detect, rename, sort into Movies or TV, fetch artwork and notify your media server. Set it up once and manual downloads organize themselves like automated ones.

Set Up in Three Steps

1. Pick any plan — every EvoSeedbox plan supports FileBot, from $5/month.
2. Click Install FileBot in your dashboard.
3. Point it at your downloads folder, choose a naming format, and process.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need FileBot if I run Sonarr and Radarr?

The *arrs rename what they grab, so automated downloads are covered. FileBot shines for everything else — manual downloads, imported collections, and one-off cleanups that automation missed. Many users run both.

Does FileBot need a license?

Yes — FileBot itself requires a license purchased from filebot.net. The app installs in one click here; you add your license on first run.

Can it undo a bad rename?

Yes — FileBot keeps a history and can revert a renaming pass, which makes experimenting with formats safe.

Which naming format should I use?

The Plex/Jellyfin conventions in our naming guide — FileBot’s presets match them out of the box.

A Library That Names Itself

FileBot belongs to the perfectionists: the users who notice one mismatched poster in a 2,000-title library and can’t unsee it. If that’s you, running it on the seedbox — where the files actually live — beats downloading, renaming and re-uploading ever after. Everyone else discovers they become that person about a week after installing Plex.
