Please don’t edit the mcebuddy.conf file manually. Everything can be done through the GUI, including when you upgrade MCEBuddy. There are sanity checks done when MCEBuddy upgrades and when the settings are saved through the GUI.
We have placed this warning in several places including the ReadMe file and on the discussion forum advanced settings documentation page:
PLEASE DO NOT REPLACE THE NEW CONFIGURATION FILES WITH THE OLD FILES AS PARAMETERS IN THE NEW FILES ARE ADDED/UPDATED WITH EACH RELEASE.
NOTE: As of v2.3.13 ALL configurable parameters (except FFmpegBackupRemux) in MCEBuddy.conf can be accessed through the GUI, Settings → Expert Settings page. You DO NOT need to manually edit the mcebuddy.conf file.
You can duplicate your tasks using the MCEBuddy GUI, right click on the task and select Duplicate
