Monitoring subdirectories only seems to work on the first two layers of subdirectories but not the third: c:\Videos\Titles\Seasons\ It appears if you monitor “Videos” and check the monitor subdirectories option, MCEBuddy only looks down to “Titles” and not “Seasons.” Is this correct?

No limit, I just tested 10 levels of nested sub directories and it’s working. Most likely the directory paths’ may be too long or the security permissions are preventing the engine from traversing it. If you open your mcebuddy.log file and search for your directory name you’ll see what’s going on.

Hi Goose, thanks for the reply… Here is what I am seeing in the log file: ERROR> 2020-12-12T21:48:36 MCEBuddy.Engine.QueueManager --> Unable to search for files in location E:\ServerFolders\Videos\TV Shows\Recorded for monitor task Plex Recorded TV ERROR : The specified path, file name, or both a…

[图片] kellynewman: The specified path, file name, or both are too long. The fully qualified file name must be less than 260 characters, and the directory name must be less than 248 characters. That’s a windows limitation, not MCEBuddy. Windows is unable to process it and is throwing the error. …

Sorry if I’m confused, and am becoming a pest. I’m just trying to figure out how to locate the problem and fix it. Is MCEBuddy requesting a dir listing from Windows and Windows is returning the error? Is there a way to recreate the request for the dir listing using the cmd? I’m guessing there mus…

Figured it out! Using PowerShell: cmd /c dir /s /b |? {$_.length -gt 260} This located the offending files and I was able to remove them. MCEBuddy started working properly after that. Thanks for the help and guidance.

You can try doing this also. [图片] How to Make Windows 10 Accept File Paths Over 260 Characters With the Anniversary Update for Windows 10, you can finally abandon the 260-character maximum path limit in Windows. You just need to make a minor edit to the Windows Registry or Group Policy. …

Thanks for the suggestion, but that sort of thing always worries me if it will break something else.

謝謝你的建議，但我總是擔心那種做法會不會搞壞其他東西。
