I have MCE Buddy installed and I can browse to recorded files and run comskip just fine. But for it to automatically scan new episodes I receive errors in the log. I have googled the error “Not a valid Win32 FileTime” with no success

That’s a windows fileystem error. Try to check your date/time on the folder and the files in that folder in Windows Explorer. The folder or one of the files date probably be invalid or missing. It means that the filesystem or the file is corrupted and windows is unable to read it’s timestamps either because it’s too large or it’s missing/corrupted.

Things to try:

  1. Delete the file and recopy it
  2. Run a filesystem repair/check, (e.g. chkdsk c: /r
  3. Rename the file
  4. Move it to a different disk/filesystem
  5. Check your windows time if it’s correct
