Can't Import Special with high ep number (2 Viewers)

[PureLoneWolf]

Hi all

I have around 9000 episodes being managed by MyTVSeries 2.3.3538 on MP 1.1.0.0

I have many series, with many special episodes and today decided to add some Top Gear Specials - Filenames below

Top Gear.s00e107.Top.Gear.Of.The.Pops.Comic.Relief.Special.2007.avi
Top Gear.s00e108.the_challenges.avi
Top Gear.s00e109.Polar.Special.avi
Top Gear.s00e114.the_challenges.avi
Top.Gear.s00e221.Richard Hammond Top Gear Uncovered 2009.avi

However, nothing I do will get these to scan into the system. I should add that it successfully added 7 episodes from various shows today, but it absolutely refuses to put these episodes into the system. It doesn't even add them incorrectly within the config panel. It's almost like they doesn't exist.

I am assuming that it is something to do with the 3 digit episode numbers, and I should point out that I only have the standard parsing expressions that are there by default.

If someone could help, it would be much appreciated.

Cheers

As per: https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/my-tvseries-162/expressions-rules-exchange-21977/

campnic made the following rule for "Series - S##E### - Title.Ext"

^.*?\\?(?<series>[^\\$]+?)(?:s(?<season>[0-1]?\d)e(?<episode>\d\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>[^.]*)$

And tzuriel made the following rule for "letterman.13104.ep2517.avi"

^.*?\\?(?<series>[^\\$]+?)(?:s(?<season>[0-3]?\d)\s?ep?(?<episode>\d\d\d)|(?<season>(?:[0-3]\d|(?<!\d)\d\d))x?(?<episode>\d\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)[^\\]*?[^\\]*?)\.(?<ext>[^.]*)$

Put them in the regular expression setup and refresh the import list to see if the red failures become a match.

Enjoy

I tried the first one - Added it as a regular expression and scanned - No joy

I then renamed one of the files to
Top Gear - S00E221 - Richard Hammond Top Gear Uncovered 2009.avi

Still no joy

not sure what I can do

My wife is currently using HTPC so I can't verify, but try:

Simple = <series> s<season>e<episode> <title>.<ext>

I forgot the . becomes (space) rule is done before the regular expressions

 

[JonJon]

Try this regex

(?<series>[^\\$]+)[ .-]*s(?<season>\d{1,})e(?<episode>\d{1,})[ -.](?<title>(\w|[ -.])*)\.(?<ext>[^.]*)

It will not match file names with multiple episodes in them, but then none of your examples had any so figured not important in this case.

 

[PureLoneWolf]

Thanks for that, this one didn't have any effect either

Am I right to assume that it will run each file against every expression to see if it finds a match?

Cheers

 

[JonJon]

It will match against each expression until it finds a match, so the order they appear does matter. This you might do:

• Make sure the expression is set to regex and not simple
• turn all expressions off bar the one

If all else fails you can always try a manual scan as there are only 7 files you need to add.

Thanks to everyone for their help. I had to do a manual import in the end...none of the expressions would work on their own either.

Ah well, they are there and I will remember to manually import any others from now on

Cheers
