I’m not sure what I’ve done or changed but my finished files now have the original air date added to the end of the file name. The only difference is I now convert my WTV files to TS files for editing before I compress them and the resulting TS files have the air date added…which I strip off when …

In your conversion task, under advanced, there’s a section called “renaming and sorting” - what is that set to? The tooltips are pretty descriptive on terms of describing the format you’ll need to get the desired output. Good luck! Will.

They are set to whatever is default. This is getting annoying and costing me a lot of extra time to have to rename every singe file MCEBuddy produces. I do not want the date encoced added to the filename…there should be some way to turn this off but I don’t know how. I tried just turning off rena…

If the metadata is missing for some files the “default” will replace them with dates and folder may not be created if the metadata required for the folders is not available in the source file. If you don’t want that then use a custom renaming pattern and create your own folder structure like @Will_…

Does the metadata come from the channels I record these movies from or is it downloaded within MCEBuddy…if it’s downloaded by MCEBuddy that may be the problem. I rename my files after I edit them before processing in a way to tell me what channel the movies was recorded from so a movie recorded from…

It’s a combination, it starts with the metadata in the file/filename and then tries to supplement with over the internet to fill in the gaps where possible. This topic explains how it works: [afbeelding] Metadata matching, extraction, renaming from files and downloading from the In…

OK, that is probably the problem then due to the way I name my files…is there a way to get MCEBuddy to rename my files and folders as described above?

Use custom file renaming, virtually limitless options: MCEBuddy - Advanced Settings, Commands and Tweaking

Unfortunately there is nothing in there that can accomplish things the way I like them so…in a future release can you provide an option to disable adding the conversion date to the filename? It is really annoying to have to rename every single file and folder constantly when the conversion date is …

You can always recreate the exact same naming pattern using the custom renaming options (infact the stock renaming pattern is actually just a renaming pattern template). The only difference is that if the metadata is missing in your file, then MCEBuddy replaces the missing elements with the date to …

My issue is I cannot see how to keep the folder name the way I want. Like I said above I name my movies as follows: From Here to Eternity [TCMHD].mkv So I know what channel I recorded them from. I want the folder name exactly as above, without the file extension of course, but I do not know how…

Het is een combinatie, het begint met de metadata in het bestand/bestandsnaam en probeert vervolgens aanvullende informatie via internet toe te voegen om de ontbrekende gegevens aan te vullen waar mogelijk. Dit onderwerp legt uit hoe het werkt:
