### Thanks to cmgj for this patch
If you are running MCEBuddy on a Windows Server, it has been found that the metadata from the WTV files is not able to be read. Here is a way to to add this to a Windows Server (2012 in this tested example) (Originally found [here](http://babgvant.com/forums/p/4665/21677.aspx))
Here are some basic instructions:
**_For a 64bit install of WMC (Tested with Windows 7 64bit )_**
> - copy `c:\windows\system32\EncDec.dll`, `sbe.dll`, and `sbeio.dll` to the same directory on the windows server (`c:\windows\system32`)
- on the windows server 2012 machine open cmd prompt _ **with administrative privileges** _
- cd to `c:\windows\system32`
- type in `regsvr32.exe EncDec.dll ` and press enter
- type in `regsvr32.exe sbe.dll` and press enter
**_For a 32bit install of WMC (Tested with Windows 7 64bit )_**
> - copy `c:\windows\sysWOW64\EncDec.dll`, `sbe.dll`, and `sbeio.dll` to the same directory on the windows server (`c:\windows\sysWOW64`)
- on the windows server 2012 machine open cmd prompt _ **with administrative privileges** _
- cd to `c:\windows\sysWOW64`
- type in `regsvr32.exe EncDec.dll ` and press enter
- type in `regsvr32.exe sbe.dll` and press enter
Fire up MCEBuddy and start converting, the converted file should then be renamed correctly and if you sort to folders using something like `%showname%\Season %season%##\%showname% - S%season%##E%episode%## - %episodename%`
You should see it sorted correctly.
Enjoy!
#### NOTE: You may also need to install the Media Foundation feature to resolve reference to WMDRMSDK.dll
