thanks RoChess but I stil couldn't parse the seinfeld directories. Got another tip ?

Don't eat the Yellow snow.

If you expect more tips, I would need more feedback first, like, which fields aren't parsed, are all empty? Make me a screenshot of your Pre-Import screen otherwise, as per:

Like in the example (taken from FAQ), you can see how a bad parsed one shows up in Red.

Can somebody help me? I have tried to find a solution in this Thread, butmy English is not very well --> I find nothing.

I needed a Parsing expression which recognises the following standard format:

name - S. ## E ### - title.avi

Hope that somebody can help me.
I works fine for all my series except 90210.
All the episodes return as 90210 - To Thine Own Self Be True which is s02e10
my files are sorted like this.
90210\Season 2\90210 - s02e01 - To New Beginnings.avi
Oz\Season 5\Oz - s05e07 - Good Intentions.avi

How do i fix it?

As explained in the FAQ you could use the string replacement system to fix it. Do a 'before' replacement of 90210 into "BlaBla", so that it only uses s02e01 for the Season/Episode markers (and not the title), and then do a string replacement afterwards to turn "BlaBla" back into "90210". You can use the pre-import refresh to verify it works before you actually import. Which is is also explained in the FAQ.

It remains weird, because it should have worked, possibly you got other conflicting issues at work.

SOLVED - see bottom of this message

I originally did the import test on my tv shows folder with the original parsing expressions and string replacements, and every tv show failed. So, I turned off all text replacement, and created my own custom "simple" parsing expressions. The following problem example is jusrt ONE of the problems I'm having. According to everything I've read, this should work fine.

I have the following parsing expression (and remember ALL of the string replacement items are disabled):

<series>\<episode> - <title>.<ext>

for the following folder filenames

Band Of Brothers\02 - Day of Days.iso

The parsed output is:

Parsed Series Name: band of brothers
Season ID: (is null/empty)
Episode ID: 01
Episode Title: day of days
Ext: iso

It looks to me like it parsed correctly with the exception of the character casing, but the import test shows that it failed.

What am I doing wrong?

I'm hoping the answer to this will allowq me to fix the other imports as well without bothering anyone any further.

SOLUTION ====================

I had toi use the same naming convention for ALL series. Once I did that, they imported just fine.

Behold

The.Pacific.Pt.I.720p.HDTV.X264-DIMENSION.mkv is not getting parsed.

I made a nasty workaround to do a string replace of
"pt.II" to S01E02
"pt.I" to S01E01

And it Parsed

But i dont think this is the best way.
Any thoughts from others who know their way around regex/replacements

Thanks, but I still have a small problem, when I run the local parsing test all the episodes are shown correct, but if I import them two episodes are not imported, 90210 - s01e01e02 - We're Not in Kansas Anymore & The Jet Set and 90210 - s02e10 - To Thine Own Self Be True.
Any guess why that is the case?

Try: 90210 - S01E01+S01E02 - We're Not in Kansas Anymore & The Jet Set

Anyone know how to get the 'network' logo to appear alongside the other video/audio logos in episode view. Previously I did this using the LOGOS tab in TV Series configuration. That tab no longer exists . . . help please

You need to update your skins TVSeries.SkinSettings.xml. You can either edit the settings in the XML or you can set Import="false" to see the tab in configuration and override the skin settings.
