Renaming and Moving Only - Wrong Episode Number In File Name

General Support / Questions Metadata and Renaming
1

I’m using MCEBuddy simply to rename and organize my downloaded videos. However, it had started changing the episode number for the output file.

I’ve attached a couple of example logs below. Things to note are:

  1. The Metadata has the correct episode_id
2023-02-20T15:56:23 MCEBuddy.AppWrapper.Base -->     show            : Night Court
2023-02-20T15:56:23 MCEBuddy.AppWrapper.Base -->     episode_id      : 4
2023-02-20T15:56:23 MCEBuddy.AppWrapper.Base -->     season_number   : 1

2023-02-20T14:59:24 MCEBuddy.AppWrapper.Base -->     show            : Animaniacs
2023-02-20T14:59:24 MCEBuddy.AppWrapper.Base -->     episode_id      : 2
2023-02-20T14:59:24 MCEBuddy.AppWrapper.Base -->     season_number   : 1
  1. When it extracts the metadata, it comes out wrong:
2023-02-20T15:56:26 MCEBuddy.MetaData.VideoMetaData --> Extracted Generic Tags: Title: Night Court

Any insight as to what I’m missing here?

Hmm, I don’t see anything in the logs. Will need to analyze the original file to see what’s going on.

Can you upload the original file using the instructions here

I actually noticed in the patch notes for Beta 8 (15 Feb 2023) that there was a " 1. Fix for identifying MP4 episode metadata (Streamfab and iTunes)"

I downloaded the Beta and confirmed that it has solved the problem.

Next I’ll move on to figuring out why it isn’t recognizing %ismovie%, but I’ll do that in a separate post.
