PMS 1.7.1 DVR doesn't record in .ts anymore

@Wiidesire same issue as I use your script as well. Do you plan on updating it?
You can workaround that (if you want a backup of the untouched recording) by editing the Profiles.conf located under MCEBuddy2x/config. You’ll now see the list of all profiles. Depending on what Profile you chose, add the following to the end of the profile:
CustomCommandPath="C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe"
CustomCommandParameters="/c move /y "%sourcefile%" "D:\YYY\%originalfilename%-Backup.mkv""
CustomCommandHangPeriod=900
CustomCommandCritical=true
CustomCommandUISession=false
CustomCommandShowWindow=false
Replace 'D:\YYY' with your desired backup path (which should not be within a DVR library).
The script won’t change.

As far as the archive, the archive setting in mcebuddy is configurable so you can set it to archive to a specific drive/path if you want/need to keep the original recording.
That’s the point. The Archive function doesn’t work when the filename is the exact same (including the extension). The archive moving is done after the conversion. So MCEBuddy first overwrites the original file with the converted one (because they have the same name) and then tries to move the original, which ofcourse doesn’t work.
