Hi@LukeMurphey , I am hoping you can help with your File Meta-Data addon that I am hoping is just what I need.
I have been trying to get it working for a while now but it just didn't seem to do anything after setting up my Data Input.
I've done a bit more digging today in the 'file_meta_data_modular_input.log' log file and I am getting the following error reported:
2021-09-27 15:24:06,745 ERROR Execution failed
Traceback (most recent call last):

file_path = file_path.encode("utf-8")
AttributeError: 'bytes' object has no attribute 'encode'
As the error is caused in the bold line above in the .py file, I guess this may be something to do with my Splunk Enterprise (Free version) running on a Windows 10 machine, trying to index Windows volumes.
FYI in my Data Input, it doesn't matter if I have the "File or directory path" as "L:\" or "L:" or anything else (i.e. I want to index my L:\ volume), it just reports this error.
Sorry this is probably a noob question but any help would be appreciated. FYI I am using v1.4.5 of your add-on.
Many thanks in advance.
