I’m running MCEBuddy 2.5.2 and WMC on Windows 8.1 and up until a few weeks ago I was scanning 3 directories and performing a different conversion task for each directory and everything was working fine regarding the directory structure. This process required manual copy and pasting of recordings to each directory. I then implemented selection filters by recording title which eliminated the need to move files manually (this is my string “_;~Paw Patrol_;~Sesame Street\*;~Thomas &_;~Daniel Tiger_;~The People’s Court\*” for one task). However, the folder structure went from “No Commercials\Friends\Season 02\Friends\_TBSHD\_2019\_12\_11\_23\_00\_00.mp4” to “No Commercials\Friends\_TBSHD\_2019\_12\_11\_23\_00\_00.mp4”. So I then began using the Renaming and Sorting Feature and use “%showname%\Season %season%##%showname% - S%season%##E%episode%## - %episodename% - %airyear%_%airmonth%_%airday%” which should output Title\Season 01\Title - S01E02 - Subtitle - 2009\_09\_09, however each episode converted creates a new directory similar to this “No Commercials\Friends\_TBSHD\_2019\_12\_15\_08\_21\_54\Season\Friends\_TBSHD\_2019\_12\_15\_08\_21\_54 - SE00 - The One with the Thumb - 1994\_10\_06.mp4”. The original recording from WMC has the correct Title “Friends”, Subtitle “The One With the Thumb”, channel, call sign, etc, but the converted file has the title as “Friends\_TBSHD\_2019\_12\_15\_08\_21\_54” with no subtitle. Is this a bug or could it be something in my tasks? Again the directory was fine until I began using the Selection Filters. Any help or insight is greatly appreciated.

Please attach your conversion log, it’ll show what’s going on.

Looks like you have a NFO or an XML file along with your WTV recording which is providing incorrect title information to MCEBuddy which is why your metadata isn’t correct.

Delete that extra NFO file and all should be good. I can see the correct information in your WTV file.

Ok thank you. This looks promising since I checked the media info on upcoming conversions and the title has all the extra info in it (channel, call sign, etc). I then deleted the nfo files and checked the media info again and it was correct. If this is the solution then the culprit is a hidden setting in my Jellyfin server saving nfo files (incorrectly formatted) within the directory. I will run a few conversions to check and if it’s good I will mark it solved. Again, thank you very much.
