Default expressions/double episodes (1 Viewer)

[deebo]

i could use one for using

"Series - S01E01.avi"
"Series - S01E01(-02).avi"

those regexp's go way over my head

"Series - S01E01(-02).avi"

those regexp's go way over my head

as far as i can figure out (not actually tried it) - ^.*?\\?(?<series>[^\\$]+?)(?:s(?<season>[0-1]?\d)e(?<episode>\d\d)|(?<season>(?:[0-1]\d|(?<!\d)\d))x?(?<episode>\d\d))(?!\d)(?:[ .-]?(??<episode2>\d\d(?!\d))|E(?<episode2>\d\d)|(?:\d\d|(?<!\d)\d)x?(?<episode2>\d{2}(?!\d)))|)[ -.]*(?<title>[^\\]*?(?<HR>HR\.)?[^\\]*?)\.(?<ext>[^.]*)$ - should work

it's the last of the regexp expressions


I have a problem getting my 2nd episode to be displayed in the database. I have an episodeindex2 alright but this data is not displayed in media portal.

i.e.

Series - 1x01&02
Series - 1x03

only shows entries for episode 1 and 3.

Is there a way to get the 2nd part of the first local file to be displayed as a seperate file? (i currently have 'only show files with local file listed' enabled, but have tried without and it didn't seem to work)

is there something i need to change in the episode view settings?

Can anyone help me to change a regular expression to cope with my nested dir structure.
I store episodes in this format

M:\series\Lost\Season_1\Lost - 3x01 - A Tale of two cities.avi

Then point he import path to
M:\series

None of the inbuilt regualr expressions work with this nesting so I have been using a simple expression
I use this one:
<series> - <season>x<episode> - <title>.<ext>

but I now want to support double episodes.

This expression is almost there as far as the file name is conerned, could my nested dir be stopping it from working?

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

any help with this would be great.

Hi, I'm trying to import this:

"D:\Alias - 4x01-02 - Authorized personnel only, part 1 and 2.avi"

But none of the default expressions seems to work here... The episode won't be imported.

Can anyone come up with an expression for this? I can't understand how to work with those complex expressions...

Thanks!

This is from memory and not tested
and assuming a single episode would look like
Alias - 4x01 - Authorized personnel only, part 1.avi

^(?<series>[^\\]*?) - (?<season>[0-9]+)x(?<episode>[0-9]+)(-(?<episode2>[0-9]+))? - (?<title>[^\\]*?)\.(?<ext>[^.]*)$

*edit*
fixed error

Thanks! Worked like a charm!!

So will this expression also work for my files in a nested structure?
Example:

M:\series\Lost\Season_1\Lost - 3x01 - A Tale of two cities.avi

and if have a 2 part show do I name it

M:\series\Lost\Season_1\Lost - 3x01-02 - A Tale of two cities and Whatever episode 2 is called.avi

if not what do I need to add to the beginning of the regx?

thanks

^([^\\]+\\)*(?<series>.+?) - (?<season>[0-9]+)x(?<episode>[0-9]+)(-(?<episode2>[0-9]+))? - (?<title>[^\\]+)\.(?<ext>[^.]*)$

Great, that has done the trick.
Thanks a lot.
