FileBot 5.2.1 by Point Planck Limited is a cross-platform utility positioned as the ultimate TV and movie renamer, designed to bring order to sprawling collections of video files through automated, rule-based renaming and metadata fetching. Aimed at home-media enthusiasts, broadcast professionals, and anyone managing large content libraries, the application parses filenames against online databases such as TheTVDB, TheMovieDB, and AniDB, instantly correcting misspellings, inserting season/episode numbers, and appending consistent quality tags. Beyond simple renaming, FileBot supports batch moves, subtitle synchronization, episode verification via SFV or MD5 checksums, and the creation of media-center-compatible folder structures, making it equally useful for preparing Plex, Kodi, or Jellyfin libraries. The program’s fifteen released versions have progressively added support for 64-bit architectures, dark-mode interfaces, command-line scripting, and integration with qBittorrent, Sonarr, and Radarr, enabling fully automated post-download workflows. Users can craft custom naming schemes with Groovy expressions, preview every change before committing, and roll back operations through an integrated history panel. Although lightweight, FileBot embeds a robust Java runtime, ensuring consistent behavior on Windows, macOS, Linux, and FreeBSD without external codecs. The software is available for free on get.nero.com, with downloads provided via trusted Windows package sources (e.g. winget), always delivering the latest version, and supporting batch installation of multiple applications.
