I have recently been experiencing problems with MCE Buddy post-processing and have been trying to track it down with plex here:
> **[Regression: Post-processing (MCEBuddy) Removes Metadata](https://forums.plex.tv/t/regression-post-processing-mcebuddy-removes-metadata/932699)**
>
> Server Version#: Version 1.42.2.10156 Player Version#: NA I am experiencing a new regression that I have not experienced in previous versions of Plex Media Server. After each football game, I use MCEBuddy Custom Cuts to go through and remove...
Unfortunately, none of the settings there have been working, so now I am looking at MCE Buddy settings and if there’s anything there that can be modified/addressed.
The issue is that after MCE processing the metadata seems to get wiped and Plex loses everything on the file, basically wiping it from its database with just the date of the file.
Is there anything in MCE that would account for this post-processing?
Thank you for any assistance you can provide.

The other thing that I have noticed is that during the original process an srt is created and placed in the directory. It used to be that when the process was run again another srt was created and placed in the directory (same name but `.srt0` if I recall correctly). This no longer happens and I wonder if this is a piece of the puzzle. 🤔

That I would depend on the conversion task settings. Is extract subtitles enabled ? If so then it will extract embedded subtitles (or copy external) to the destination folder.
