Unfortunatly that didn't work. I think the regex's expect the season's to be two figures

try something like
[\w:\\ ]*\\(?<series>[^\d]*)(?<season>[0-9]{1,4})\.E(?<episode>[0-9]{1,2})\.[\w]*\.(?<ext>[^.]*)

Thanks! That worked like a charm!

I am using BeyondTV to currently record tv, and I need an expression to convert using their naming conventions, they have 2.

Movies:

Metropolis-2007-01-14-0.avi

TV Series:

NUMB3RS-(The Janus List)-2007-05-18-0.avi

Any help on a simple or regular expression for these two formats?

Thanks!

p.s. For the Movies format, would it be possible to make an expression that would classify it as the series 'Movies', and then the episode would be the actual movie title.

For Series:

PHP Code:

(?<series>[^$]+)?-+?.*((?<title>.*[^]?))-?(?<FirstAired>((19|20)(d{2})(.|-|/)([0-3]d)(.|-|/)([0-3]d))).*.(?<ext>[^.]*)$ 


but only if the date is the original "first airdate" according to the online DB. Otherwise its not going to work (reruns etc.)

Movies? No, not what this plugin is for.

That is an interesting Expression and I see no reason why in theory it shouldn't work. I'll go and give this a try tomorrow to see if i can't figure it out. The plugin just calls the .NET regex engine, so its possible the engine differs a bit from what that tool you used uses.

Inker,

Thanks for the quick response.

I couldn't get the series code to work. Likely it is because that isn't necessarily the first aired date, it is the date the recording took place. Can that expression be modified so that it just ignores the date section, but extracts the series and episode name?

Thanks!

No, it needs either:
Seriesname + Season + Episodenumber
or
Seriesname + First Aired Date
somewhere in the filename.

The expression itself works though, I tried with the sample filename you provided. However if its a recordings date than it can't match it to an actual season/episode so you get no data at all. The title is extracted from the filename though and so is the series, so in theory you should have all your episodes show up in MP, just out of order and with no meta-data.

You can try that mediarenamer tool, perhaps it can search by episode title.

[MojoFlow]

Thanks,

I will work with it a bit.

I thought there was an error with the expression because when I used the 'parsing tests' in config, I got no values for any series or titles.

I will mess around with it some more on my end.

Thanks for your help.

I am having some problems getting any results using this regex. I just downloaded a program called 'expresso' to try to figure out what was going on, and it says there is an additional ')'. Can you confirm you pasted your working version in the sample above?

Thanks again.

i just noticed that files like:

Battlestar Galactica - S03E03 - Exodus part1.avi

can not be parsed.

after adding the following "simple" expression

<series> - S<season>E<episode> - <title>.<ext>

all works fine.

maybe a good default expression?

keep up the great work! i love the new release.

That had me puzzled, so I just tested that filename and it works just fine.
The following default regex matches it:

^.*?\\?(?<series>[^\\$]+?)(?:s(?<season>[0-1]?\d)e(?<episode>\d\d)|(?<season>(?:[0-1]\d|(?<!\d)\d))x?(?<episode>\d\d))(?!\d)(?:[ .-]?(?:s\k<season>e?(?<episode2>\d{2}(?!\d))|\k<season>x?(?<episode2>\d{2}(?!\d))|(?<episode2>\d\d(?!\d))|E(?<episode2>\d\d))|)[ -.]*(?<title>(?![^\\]*?sample)[^\\]*?(?<HR>HR\.)?[^\\]*?)\.(?<ext>[^.]*)$

Could you make sure you have that one enabled?
