Move All Video files from a directory to another

What is the problem you are having with rclone?

Hello
I was trying to move video files with extension ".mkv" from one folder to another
The source folder looks like this :
The shining
The shining.mkv
The shining.srt
Avengers
Avengers.mkv
Avengers.srt

I used this commmad to move only the .mkv files from this parent directory to another Folder

rclone move remote:source remote: destination -P --include "*.mkv"

After running this command my destination folder looks like this
The shining
The shining.mkv
Avengers
Avengers.mkv

Here even the folder containing the mkv file is also moved..what I am looking for is..to move only the mkv files..
That is..I want my destination folder to look like below
The shining.mkv
Avengers.mkv

Pls help me in any way you can..and what modification should I do to my previous commmad to make this possible

Thank you

What is your rclone version (output from rclone version)

Which OS you are using and how many bits (eg Windows 7, 64 bit)

Which cloud storage system are you using? (eg Google Drive)

The command you were trying to run (eg rclone copy /tmp remote:tmp)

Paste command here

The rclone config contents with secrets removed.

Paste config here

A log from the command with the -vv flag

Paste  log here

rclone doesn't have that capability natively right now, so you will have to do it via an additional script etc.. Please follow this issue for when the feature is available:
