Hi I need some configuration help. I would like MCEBuddy to watch a folder for multiple file formats .TS .WTV .MP4 etc. I need it to strip ads but not convert, so leave the file format as whatever its starts as.

Thanks

Welcome Mick!  
You should be able to do what you want by defining three separate conversion tasks.

Task 1: Process TS Recordings  
Select the “TS Unprocessed” Profile  
Select Ad Remover: Yes(Comskip)  
Under Advanced settings put \*.ts under File Name Match

Task 2: Process WTV Recordings  
Select the “WTV Unprocessed” Profile  
Select Ad Remover: Yes(Comskip)  
Under Advanced settings put \*.wtv under File Name Match

Task 3: Process MP4 Recordings  
Select the “MP4 Unprocessed” Profile  
Select Ad Remover: Yes(Comskip)  
Under Advanced settings put \*.mp4 under File Name Match

I convert everything to MP4 except for my Playlater items. For those I use the same settings for Task 3 only I have the expert setting to check for “Check chapters for Ad markers”.

Good luck!
