because it replaces the dots in S.H.I.E.L.D with spaces
do a manual search without those spaces on the first add, the rest will go fine (at least it added E02 without issues here)

You can also add an additional string replacement that runs before matching e.g. S.H.E.I.L.D ==> SHIELD.

When run before matching is enabled, the dots wont be converted to spaces as they would of already been removed from the above string replacement.

It is technically possible to detect an acronym with Regular Expressions. Will see if I can come up with a generic one.

I wish mptvseries be able to update regexes and string replacements on start

 

[RoChess]

RegExp replace (runs before matching): ([A-Z])\.(?=[A-Z]) to: ${1}

should do it, if Ignore Case is not turned 'on' for the expression parsing. Only tested it in Expresso, but I did make a start on new HTPC so will be able to test it in MP-TVSeries soon this week, unless somebody beats me to it.

Thanks Rochess,

If all works out well I can make that a default string replacement rule.

I tested it on "Marvel.Agents.of.S.H.I.E.L.D.in.the.H.O.U.S.E.720p.Group-Test.ext", Expresso 'replace' result was: "Marvel.Agents.of.SHIELD.in.the.HOUSE.720p.Group-Test.ext"

My test box is screwed right now, wife is using old HTPC and new HTPC is 95% done, so I'll know for sure around Tuesday, but figured somebody will have beat me to the testing before then

Well that got more complicated than I expected!

because it replaces the dots in S.H.I.E.L.D with spaces

Does this mean that the plugin then searched for 'Marvel's Agents of SHIELD' instead of the acronym?
It seems to be written as S H I E L D in the search box, though I didn't notice before.

Searching for Marvel's Agents Of SHIELD works and identifies the correct series

On a slightly different note - once I had entered the name without the spaces, the plugin kept telling me that it couldn't continue as the series was in 'edit mode' though there seems to be no way to get out of 'edit mode' (I tried clicking on all the boxes and re-entering the details). Cancelling this started the import and it worked fine from there.

Thanks for the help!

You probably put another series in edit mode. Click on a read-only cell like on in the 'Series' column, that's probably the easiest way to get it out of edit mode.
