Unfortunately plex doesn’t embed the metadata into the TS file (afaik only Silicon dust DVR does that) so MCEBuddy uses the filename to extract the metadata when there is no embedded metadata available but I think plex can be configured to export the metadata into a .xml or some other format. Maybe @SJL has some insight on this MCEBuddy can recognize most metadata formats, see more details about does metadata matching here: > [@Metadata matching, extraction, renaming from files and downloading from the Internet](https://discussion.mcebuddy2x.com/t/metadata-matching-extraction-renaming-from-files-and-downloading-from-the-internet/69): > > MCEBuddy can extract metadata in many ways from a file, summarizing the sequence: Extract from WTV and DVRMS file using Windows DirectShow filters (see this thread on how to install the filters in [Windows Servers](https://discussion.mcebuddy2x.com/t/enabling-metadata-extraction-on-windows-servers/70)) Extract from containers that support metadata like MP4, MKV, M4V, AVI, MP3, TS and WMV Extract from proprietary recording software containers like TiVO, PlayLater, SiliconDust DVR Extract using supporting metadata files like XML, NFO and PROPERTIES from Media Portal, nPVR,… If your only issue is the extraenous “(copy x)” in the title when MCEBuddy parses the filename to extract the metadata, you could use regex (if you don’t know regex just use the BOT AI helper, give it and example and tell it what you want to do and it should be able to create the regex for you to use) and metadata correction to strip that out of the title and then either use just that or have MCEBuddy use that corrected title to match the information from the internet. See this topic for more examples: > [@Examples of Renaming](https://discussion.mcebuddy2x.com/t/examples-of-renaming/5589/16): > > That’s doable using a simple replace or the the new regex feature we added for correcting metadata. If all the names are identical and you just want to correct them the same way use the simple replacement and correction feature. Conversion task → Expert settings → Correction If the title keeps varying slightly see this post for details on how to match and replace the title using regex. If you aren’t familiar with regex use the AI bot on the top bar and you can ask it to create a r… --- _[View the full topic](https://discussion.mcebuddy2x.com/t/renaming-with-wrong-episode-names/5800)._
