Hey guys,

I have a bit of a strange question. I have 2 library’s one real one and one for testing when I’m trying to figure something out.
I usually just start by copying my entire personal.ini file and go from there.

However, and here is the strange thing, if I run the update on my saved metadata in my test library it works just as I intended but as soon as do the exact same thing in my normal library it fails.

Has anyone run in to this problem before and therefor knows what could be the trigger other than the .ini file?

And even weirder is that when I use the below in my .ini it does charge “Brian” into “Bryan” but not “(The 100)” into “(the 100)
category=>^The 100 \(TV\)$=>the 100
characters=>^Brian \(The 100\)$|^Bryan \(The 100\)$=>Bryan (the 100)&&category==the 100

this is the saved metadata I have in the file

I’ve noticed it only happen when the result ends with “(the 100)” and not when the same is in the middle of the result. I’ve also tried changing it to \(the 100\) just for the sake of trying but the result shows exactly like that backslashes included.

I’ve also attached a copy of how it shows in my library.
