Hints and tips welcome

The file name is quite strange.../Volumes/Buffalo_500/Transmission/Sinister (2012) \\\[1080p\\\

Could you try without \\\ or special caracters ?

[zip]

Try to remove the [1080p] from the file names

Removing special characters worked, but the resulting output is a squashed up video (super wide). Is there an option somewhere that controls the video format ratio?

What is your device model ?
What is the profile detected/selected on serviio console for your device model ?
