Thanks for reporting this, it has been fixed in today’s 2.7.2 beta build. You can try it out and let us know if you still have any issues.

It looks like CCExtractor is successfully running (exit code 0), but the resulting SRT file is being rejected by MCEBuddy because it contains null characters (System.Exception: Null character detected, not a text file). This often happens when the stream contains binary noise or the encoding is corr…

Henry David Thoreau S01E01 Who Are We 2026-03-30-2000.srt (79.9 KB) I am reprocessing one of the files that failed. I attached the temporary SRT file. It is a normal SRT file. It does have a NULL character near the end of the file (there may be other NULLs - I did not do an exhaustive search). I h…

It appears the issue is specifically with MCEBuddy’s post-extraction validation. Even though CCExtractor successfully creates the SRT file, MCEBuddy’s engine scans it for “Null characters” (binary zeros) as a safety check to ensure it’s a valid text file. If it finds even one, it rejects the entire …

MCEBuddy 2.7 Release 1 I’m not sure how long this has been a problem - it has been a problem for at least the past 8 days. It is happening for all episodes of some PBS TV series, but not others. CC extraction has failed for these new TV Series: . The Forsytes on Masterpiece (Season 1) . Henry Da…

I’m using the latest version of McEBuddy which consistently created SRT for all basic cable channels. Now I’m recording OTA and I’m not getting SRT for any recording–even those I recorded years ago that I have a SRT file for (I processed the source file again to change the format). It’s possible I …

Jon - my work-around when the SRT is missing is to redo the conversion while watching the temporary folder. If there are captions, SRT files are created but then deleted before the end of processing. When I see the SRT file size change to something other than zero, I pause the processing and copy th…

That isn’t normal. If you’re seeing and able to manually copy a non zero size SRT file, then it should be copied directly by MCEBuddy to the destination folder. Can you attach your conversion log so I can see what’s going on ?

Good timing. I had a recording that I needed to redo to get the captions. Here’s the log: The Kimberley Australia’s Wild West S01E01 River Of Life 2026-06-17-2100.mpg-ChannelsDVR - TV - NO Comskip-2026-06-18T16-42-37.log (1.7 MB)

That was very helpful. It looks like there some sort of invalid characters in the extracted SRT file which causing validation or fail and so MCEBuddy deletes the extracted subtitles. Checking SRT file S:\MCEBuddy-Temp\working2\The Kimberley Australia’s Wild West S01E01 River Of Life 2026-06-17-210…

You would think that I would have anticipated that you would need the original video file. Unfortunately, I didn’t. I’ve attached the SRT file. And I have and will schedule additional recordings of a variety of shows to try to catch another example. PBS Over-The-Air recordings seem to be the most li…
