Yes, I uploaded the right file. I put it in the directory "SRT Failure Example" on the server, and the show name is Once Upon a Time (chunk 1).
OK, I'll take a look at TV.com, but from your description above, it sounds like the problem may actually be with MCEBuddy. Matching only the air date would usually work, but in this case, two shows from the same series aired on the same date, and apparently MCEB guessed wrong as to which one was the recorded video. If MCEB matched air time as well as air date, perhaps it would have worked correctly?
I understand WMC can get subtitles wrong also. But I would vote for using the WMC tag in the case of a mismatch - seems more likely to be right, less confusing, and safer - i.e. it will not produce conversion failures like I got here. I suppose if the file had not been locked, and the conversion process simply overwrote my other file as it's supposed to do, the result would have been about the same - I'd have lost one converted file, and kept the other. To prevent this, I'll add source file name to my custom file renaming.
My custom command says this:
del %1
del %2
%1 and %2 are supposed to be the .srt and .edl files. Where are you seeing it delete all \config files?
Thank you for the explanation on the subtitles, much appreciated.
