I cannot get MP-TV Series to automatically add my Match of the Day or Match of the Day 2 recordings. The files are named thusly:

Match of the Day (2012-03-03) [1080i].mkv

I've tried adding these:

String Replacement: [1080i] --> <emtpy>
Parsing Expression (Simple): <series> (<airdate>)

But it never finds them. If I manually enter the programme name and airdate, it then finds the episodes on the database correctly so I know Match of the Day and Match of the Day 2 are there.

I've recently update my HTPC from windows xp to windows 7 and had to redo all my MePo settings.
I noticed that a few parsing expressions were added to my new installation of this plugin. I had some custom ones aswel so I added them to the list. Now I've ran into trouble with DVD files for my series hope you can help, the problem:

Format off all my DVD file series is: \[series name folder]\[season folder]\<series>.S<season>E<episode>\[files] In my opinion only this matters for the parsing: \<series>.S<season>E<episode>\[file] Every episode is separate, so no 4 episode dvd files or something and no menu's either.

When I parse my files I get a double entry for my DVD based series; one for the VIDEO_TS.IFO file and one (or more) for every VTS_xx_0.IFO file. That's not how it should be obviously On my windows XP machine I used this (simple) expression: \<series>.S<season>E<episode>\VIDEO_TS.IFO and everthing worked fine, only one entry no trouble. Somehow this parsing expression doesn't work anymore or the other expressions have become to good and import all .IFO files.

It there a way to just parse the VIDEO_TS file and not the VTS_....IFO file(S)? Maybe is there an no parse expression or something.

Hope anyone can help me.

I have had a hunt around but couldnt find anything that matches what i need:

My shows are named as follows:

Series\Season <season>\Episode <episode> - <title>.<ext>
Series\Season <season>\Episode <episode>.<ext>
Series\Season <season>\Episode <episode1>-<episode2> - <title>.<ext>
Series\Season <season>\Episode <episode1>-<episode2>.<ext>

I've had mediaportal for years, and i had this problem fixed before i rebuilt my machine and forgot to grab the expressions.

The first two work fine, its the double episodes that are causing me headaches.
i have tried a couple of simple ones but cant get them to work. can anyone give me a hand?

Thanks in advance

Your question should have been posted in the expression request thread, as this is the exchange thread for ppl who have come up with an expression that will help others. But I'm sure one of the forum mods will move your question and this answer to that thread.

However all your 3 examples match perfect as-is with the default filename parsing expression in MP-TVSeries. If however you used custom expressions a long time ago, then none of the new expressions would have been added. To solve this, open MP-TVSeries config -> Import -> Parsing Expressions and use the 'RESET' link at the right side (save any custom expression otherwise before you do so, so you can restore those manually later).

But if your 'ember' reference meant something else then MediaPortal's plugin MP-TVSeries, then you are most likely out of luck and will not be able to use the expression that MP-TVSeries uses anyway.

Hi,
i have 2 series that seem to have an issue. Here are there structures
X:\series\Spartacus Gods of the Arena\Spartacus - Gods of the Arena e01 - Past Transgressions.avi
X:\series\The Pacific\The Pacific Part 01.mkv

What would be the parser for these 2 examples. And if there is. Can some one point me in the direction of the command list? Sorry if that's a dumb question.
