I am attempting to get MB working with Plex DVR recording to replay using Plex. Regular TV shows work fine (SxxExx0 but I’m having trouble with news shows that don’t have episodes. Long story short, can I simply replace the original with the converted, placing it in the original location with the original file name? I’m looking and trying, and I’m probably missing something pretty elementary.

Never mind. It was pretty elementary. Don’t specify a destination directory and it puts the file where the original was. I just needed to spend more time in the forum.
