I have been using Buddy for many years and regularly recommend to others .
Attached in my vid shows what is happening.
I drag MKV files into buddy to be converted or remuxed.
Buddy is running in a virtual Windows 10 on a Qnap NAS
All the media files are on the NAS in standard NAS volumes.
When i drag in nothing happens.
When I stop and start Buddy the file pops up almost immediately ( the vid is in real time )
This happens every time !
Thanks
After you drag your files over, take a look at the last entries in the mcebuddy.log to see if that helps narrow it down. Attach it to this thread if nothing stands out at the issue for us to take a look.

I deleted the logs and this is the new one after a drag attempt.

Nothing there related to the last “drag”
Do you have the Logging level set to debug under settings\general settings\system settings?
The last error is due to too long of a path to the file. You may want to try and shorten folder names but I would think if that was the issue for all the drags then it would display the same error.

Here is the part of the mcebuddy.log that references the Manual/CL processing.

This would seem to indicate that it processed the files that you dragged over. I’m not sure if the issue is that the GUI isn’t displaying that it’s not processing the files properly or what. You can test this out by dragging the files over and looking in the logs directory to see if a video filename and conversion task name log file is created, like the ones you attached. If the log files are being created, then the conversion is processing.
Will probably have to have @Goose take a look to see if anything stands out.
As @SystemIdleProcess mentioned the reason the monitor task isn’t processing your file is that the filter you’ve set doesn’t match the filename.
WARNING> 2022-09-14T11:07:16 MCEBuddy.Engine.QueueManager → File The Lord of the Rings - The Return of the King (2003).mp4 did not match wildcard .mkv;.avi for monitor task movies
When you drag it manually there’s no filter
Hi Goose,
But it does process. The issue is until I stop and restart I do not see the files.
It might be a time thing. On and off refreshes immediately but I have not waited to see if they appear after one or several minutes !!
Will test …
