MCEBuddy is not renaming the file with series/episode as desired because that information is not in the .xml file that JRiver creates. (I presume that season/episode used to be in the .wtv file that WMC used to create.)
-- I do appreciate help from this forum. To continue using Serviio's "organize shows by season", I think I need to get season/episode into the file name in the form, "SxxExx".
I don't know how to get "SxxExx" with NextPVR or with JRiver, but with JRiver I see an xml file being generated that MCEBuddy should use, but the xml file defines the season represented as the episode's release year instead -please see attachment:
The recorded ts file name is: The Good Wife - S2016E16 - The Good Wife.ts
The "sidecar" .xml file name is: The Good Wife - S2016E16 - The Good Wife_ts_JRSidecar.xml
These two file name obviously differ. Is that a problem for MCEBuddy, since its documentation says,
"Using Custom Filenames and Custom Metadata (v2.3.12+)
If you're using a WTV or DVRMS file, then MCEBuddy will extract the metadata from them directly.
Otherwise, MCEBuddy looks for a XML metadata file along with the original source video (with the same source video filename). It uses this file to extract Metadata information for non WTV/DVRMS files."
The (to large to attach) MCBuddy log file can be found here:
https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/tim- ... -08-00.logThe log shows
Genres: Season: 0
Episode: 0
for this conversion, so clearly it fails to get this information, which later causes it not to include "SxxExx" in the converted file name.
Thanks again for any ideas.
