Some files are being left as mkvs...not converting to mp4

Perhaps it’s because I don’t understand the actual process.

You can read about the conversion process here:

MCEBuddy - Conversion Process Overview

A quick view of the high level conversion process (as of 2.3.15) Prior to conversion process start, the queue manager does a check using the configured filters for Monitor taskname matching to linked conversion tasks Metadata matching (without downloading additional from internet) Filename match Showname match Network/Channel match Showtype match PreMetaCustomCommand Extract metadata (including reading XML, TiVO etc) and download from the internet Check filters for skipping file reproces…

Attach your mcebuddy.log file and I can tell you what you’ve configured. Basically MCEBuddy will monitor what you asked it to monitor and then convert it to whatever you asked it to convert to. If you asked the output as MP4 it’ll create MP4 and not MKV’s. It won’t create anything you haven’t asked it to do.

If it’s listing the MKV’s on scanning then that’s probably what you’ve asked it to monitor.
