Message: <blockquote data-quote="superman859" data-source="post: 497057" data-attributes="member: 95844">I have several tv series and have been able to come up with parsing expressions with some, use default included parsing expressions for others, etc. in order to get each to import individually.However, I haven't been able to figure out how to get them all in at the same time.  This is because if I have the full folder / all folders enabled for import path (thus the import files display every episode from all series), I have not been able to get everything to match up correctly - some parsing expressions interfere with others and cause mismatches.  If I disable the parsing expression that causes the problem, it might fix one series but leave another series parsed incorrectly.I thought I would use multiple import paths - one each for each TV series (since they are in separate folders).  That way I only deal with one series at a time and can enable/disable parsing expressions as needed until it is a correct match without worrying about messing others up.  I thought I would do an series, disable its folder in import paths, and then do the next.  But it seems that when I disable it (not remove it, simply disable it) it then removes the connection between episodes and local files if I browse the database.  It still shows the list of episodes, but they are grayed out without the local filename field filled in.  They also do not show up in Mediaportal.So what is the best way to go about this?  Is the only way to get them all imported correctly to have all of them parsed correctly at the same time and all episodes listed (parsed correctly) in the import paths tab?  This has been very difficult for me, even though I can get them parsed correctly when only dealing with one series at a time.All files are stored on local HD.  I have it set up asC: TV Shows/Series-Name/(files, or seasons if there are several, etc)Thus they all rest in the TV Shows folder and all in an individual folder by series name.  However, inside the series name folder they are not standardized - filename format does differ and so does season structure (although I guess I could easily fix the season structure to make it tv shows/series-name/season#/files)Anyways - just trying to see if I must have them all parsed correctly at the same time or if there is some way to pull it off by working with one at a time and disabling / enabling expressions as needed that interfere with the current series.  I haven't been able to pull it off all at the same time yet and I only have 6-7 series.  I can only imagine it to get even more challenging as the collection grows.</blockquote>
