Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. not identified (1 Viewer)

Does this mean that the plugin then searched for 'Marvel's Agents of SHIELD' instead of the acronym?

Nope, that would be a search where the dots got REMOVED, instead of REPLACED with spaces

So Marvel's Agents of S H I E L D then?
That'll be why it didn't work!
Why replace with space anyway? surely that would break all acronyms?

I put in a special case String Replacement, "Enabled = on", "Run Before Matching = on" with

Replace this = "Marvel's Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D"
With this = "Marvel's Agents Of Shield"

It seems like at the start of every new season I need to "swizzle" a few series names to get the correct tvdb.com lookup, like "The Goldbergs" with "The Goldbergs (2013)" when there are 2 or more different shows/series with the same name.

If only we lived in a world with consistency!
Thanks for all your efforts

The reason dots are replaced with spaces is so that:

file = Example.of.Long.Show.Title.S01E01.Episode.Description.720p.Whatever.ext

is properly converted into "Example of Long Show Title", however when acronyms are then involved the same dots that should be kept, end up getting converted as well and that is when things go wrong.

I have come up with a generic regular expression that 'should' work, and today I plan to finish my new HTPC so I can actually test it. Once that is added as a default expression, these acronym series issues will be a thing of the P.A.S.T.

Ah ha!
So there was meaning in the madness
Presuming that the update will F.I.X. will be in the next update?

You can beat me to it and help test the expression already: https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/threads/agents-of-s-h-i-e-l-d-not-identified.122071/#post-1031723

I'm building a new HTPC to which I will add the expression and then do a fresh import on 400+ shows. That way I can verify that the new expression does not just fix the issue, but also causes no problem with titles without acronyms. It is just not a very fast process to copy over many TB's from one computer to another.

New HTPC up and running, so was able to test expression and realize a fix was needed. By default MP-TVSeries ignores case, but for acronym detection to work properly I needed that enabled. Had to dig up reference, but found the code.

Used the following to run a test with:

• 56 random popular series with 1+ episodes each
• Test file: "Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D - S01E03 - The Asset.mp4"

No problems on test series and S.H.I.E.L.D was converted into "Shield" and properly found.

Final Custom Replacement:

[x] Enabled
[ ] Used As Tag
[x] Run before matching
[x] Is Regex
Replace this..: (?-i)([A-Z])\.(?=[A-Z])
With this: ${1}
​

Enjoy.

@ltfearme, @mastyman pointed out that "Married ... with Children" did not auto-approve either (it did locate it properly though).

[x] Enabled
Replace this: <space><space>
With this: <space>​

Fixed that as well.

Still not working quite correctly...

#EDIT#
Cut 'n' pasted your fix in to the parser thing and no joy
Manually typed it in and it works!

Weird!!
