No chapter marks after processing - special characters

Bugs / Feature Requests Bugs
1

I’m running 2.5 using comskip/ffmpeg for processing shows. I used to use MCEbuddy with windows 7 machine without issue.

I am now using Windows 10 vm.

For some reason, after processing, I am not getting any chapter marks. Not sure why. Everything appears to be running normal.

Attached are a few logs.

Any thoughts?

Something is blocking mcebuddy from accessing the Comskip generated EDL file. Possibly an antivirus or something background software:

Thanks for the response Goose.
Took a look at the comskip.ini and discovered it was not set to produce an edl so I implemented that.

Now a new issue popped up, attached is the log. This is the part that interests me.

The special character # in your filename which is causing MP4Box to fail. This has been fixed in today’s 2.5.5 BETA build.

Installing the beta as I type. Will report back with what I find.

This worked for me. Thanks Goose.

One quick note. I think this beta version is causing my windows 10 machine to freeze intermittently. Perhaps has something to do with Firefox or my browser running at the same time?
