I am new to MCEBuddy, and am struggling to get converted movies to rename to “movie name (year)” I…e: My movie (2017)
I tried using the example given under Custom File Renaming Pattern (v2.1.6+), but I keep getting an error
So when I enter Recording%ismovie%-Converted in the text box. I get an error.
Also, why is the audio profile for basic MP4 files so poor. Why not default to at least 384 kbs AAC
I am having trouble naming movies. Ver 2.4.11
I have tried %premieryear% and %year% and %airyear%
“%showname% - %premiereyear%” and %showname% - %year%
The test file was "Hollywood Homicide (2003).mkv The result in both cases is "Hollywood Homicide - .mkv
I also have Media Information manager checked, with Movies, and IMDB. I would have expected the .nfo would have been more complete.
The .nfo reads After MCE processing-

I’m having the same issue trying to maintain the Plex folder and file name naming rules - movie name (release year). The movies that I’m trying to process with MCEBuddy are movies recorded via a TV cable station, HDNet, with the Plex DVR.
I tried %airyear% but that didn’t work. I’m also tried %premiereyear% as well to see if that would work, even though the post above mentions that it won’t work, but that also didn’t work.
