What parsing rule would i need to include one off series with filenames of the type

BBC.Planet.Earth.1of5.From.Pole.to.Pole.XviD.MP3.www.MVGroup.org.avi

Oops didnt finish...

I have a few series with filenames like that and i know i can manually import them but it would be good if i could get all these series automatically added and series 1 assumed. Also i know i could rename them but i'd rather not, i like to keep the original filenames if possible

Many thanks

you need a capture group like: (?<episode>\d{1,2}of\d{1,2}) and series 1 will be assumed (prob in the directory name)

you could do it as (?<episode>\d{1,2}(?:\.\w)?of(?:\.\w)?\d{1,2}) to allow 1 of 5 and 1.of.5 in addition to 1of5

I need help with a very simple regexp, its simple to someone who know but difficult for me =)

idol.2008.e01.xvid-remain.avi

idol.2008 (series name, that means no season in the title.)

EDIT:
solved it by putting the episodes in a folder called 'Season 1' and using this expression which I found in this thread.

Season (?<season>[0-9])[\\](?<series>[\w.]*)\.e(?<episode>[0-9]*)(?:[-.\w])*\.(?<ext>[^\\]{0,3})

I have a MP set to record my shows, in subdirs, for example:

Recordings\HD-Fringe - 818 FOXHE\HD-Fringe (2008-09-09).ts

For some reason, TVSeries skips these files completely (shows red in test). I tried a filter for "HD-" is changed to <empty> but it is still ignored. I noticed my non "HD-" recordings get scanned in. Also, is it possible to use date in filename as an indicator for episode info?

My TV shows are set up thusly (ripped from DVD):

\Videos\Mad Men\Season 1\episode1.mp4

After having set \Videos as the home directory, I was thinking the following expression would work:

<series>\Season <season>\episode<episode>.<ext>

But it's not picking it up. What am I doing wrong? What is the correct expression for my file system?

After some serious attempts, I finally had to install all my TV series into a single root folder on each drive partition where TV series are stored.

ie. H:\TV Shows H-Drive\Babylon 5\Season 1\1.02-Soul Hunter.mkv {the H-Drive is for ease of browsing with my networked client HTPC}.

I used the following simple expression: <series>\Season <season>\<season>.<episode>-<title>.<ext>

For the slightly more abnormally named Stargate SG1 episodes: eg. J:\TV Shows J-Drive\Season 1\A3-Enemy Within.mkv

I used: <series>\Season <season>\A.<episode>-<title>.<ext>

For the second season, I simply replaced the A with B; season 3 = C etc.

Just wish the parsing would recognise the DVD series so I can get the episode & plot summaries. But that's for another thread.

Just quickly looking at your expression, is \episode... a misprint in your post, or is it spelt in lower case in your config as well? Also, there is no space after the episode I have put in bold. It should be

<series>\Season <season>\Episode <episode>.<ext>

HI all, need some help with a expression for the new 90210 series.

I have a file named like : 90210.s01e01e02.....

problem is that mp-tvseries recognizes it like this:
Parsed series name: 9
Season ID: 02
Episode ID: 10

can anyone give me some advice on how to fix this?

Same problem

/me too!!

What to do ?

 

[pgjensen]

this is pretty easy actually... you just need a separate expression ABOVE your current one that isn't recognizing it properly.

it needs to be in the format:

.*[sS](?<season>\d{1,2})[eE](?<episode>\d{1,2})[eE]?(?<episode2>\d{1,2})?.*


the .* at the beg. and end can be replaced with however your folder structures are and episode naming, etc.
