In my old set-up, I limit the conversion tasks (either removing commercials or not) to a particular set of locations (recordings with commercials, commercial free recordings). This works pretty well for me.
When Plex DVR shifted back to .ts from .mkv, it means that the metadata that Plex has for that recording is lost unless I use the post-processing script option.
If I use the post-processing script option, there doesn’t seem to be any logic I can apply to choose one conversion task vs another, other than parsing the file name. This is really fragile, and requires me to update it whenever there’s a new recording.
What I’m hoping is that there’s an alternative approach / update to MCEBuddy so that I can pass it a file location (i.e., …/TV-Commercials) and as a result of that, it will choose the correct conversion task when invoked from the CLI / via script.
Hope this is clear - if I’m missing something and this is already possible, please let me know. Thanks! Will.
