Perhaps you can instruct me in the fine art of creating an NFO file - and that may help mitigate this stubborn issue I'm having with MCEBuddy wherein he flat out refuses to do anything, but read that bogus metadata from within WTV files.
It's a bad day over here when I record something that's metadata won't match an online database and many of my problem shows are listed under other names. As it turns out it is my problem when Network Employees just name stuff what they want without first checking TVDB or TMDB to see what the name really is.
Anyway, there is some light at the end of this passage. I got one 'unmatchable' to get thrown into the Movie Library (my goal actually), but it seemed to have an extra (Year) field.
Show Name:
Joy to the World with Bob Thompson (2015)
File Name:
Joy to the World with Bob Thompson (2015).wtv
NFO File Name:
Joy to the World with Bob Thompson (2015).nfo
NFO Contents:
(that was challenging - forum didn't like that!) :)
This just in:
I changed the name of the file and the nfo file:
Joy to the World with Bob Thompson.wtv
Joy to the World with Bob Thompson.nfo
(same contents)
I get:
Joy to the World with Bob Thompson (2015)().mp4
I'm would try removing the () around the year in the hopes that Bud will do something different, but it could be a corrupt nfo content thing.
