I'm after the simplest of simple strings ever really. My shows are named like this

\House\Season 01\S01E01 - Pilot.avi

Then i use a repeat for doubles eg.
\Law and Order\Season 01\S01E01E02 - Hello World.avi

I've currently got two 'simple' rules but they conflict and only work if I disable one or the other so i guess i need to change to regex?

I use these two simple rules for my setup:

<series>\Season <season>\<series> - S<season>E<episode>-E<episode2> - <title>.<ext>
<series>\Season <season>\<series> - S<season>E<episode> - <title>.<ext>

Don't know if it is needed anymore, but when I first made them it seemed to be important to have the one for double episodes above the one for the single episodes in the list of parsing expressions.

I think this will work for you:

<series>\Season <season>\S<season>E<episode>E<episode2> - <title>.<ext>
<series>\Season <season>\S<season>E<episode> - <title>.<ext>

That's the two rules I have, you're right about the order. The problem is that if they are both enabled then an episode like this:

\House\Season 01\S01E02 - Hello - World.avi

For some reason reads as Season "1" Episode ID "2" Episode ID 2 "Hel"
So it's expecting everything before a - to be episode numbers, how do I get around that problem without renaming every file that has a - in it?

This seems to be a bug in TVSeries plugin. I've recognised this also. Especially the "Hel" as episode ID simply is nothing that should be possible at all. That's why I try to avoid " - " in episodes name by replacing this with "- "... If you have it nevertheless, you can correct this during import in config tool. It's nasty, especially on first import on a fresh DB, but I'm not aware of any other solution atm.

There is a single regexp in the exchange forum thread that deals with the show\season\episode structure you both use, which then has no problem (also solves dual-episode problem).

Where sorry?

I also wasn't able to find it.... Tried a lot of the regexp from the thread, but none has solved the issue with " - " in episodes name....

Page 3, 1st shared one: (?<series>[^\\$]+)(??:\\(?eason|Staffel|S[eé]ries?)?[ .-]?[0-2]?[0-9])?\\s?(?<season>[0-2]?[0-9])|\\(??eason|Staffel|S[eé]ries?)[ .-])?(?<season>[0-2]?[0-9])\\[^\\]*?)[ex]?(?<episode>\d\d+)(?:[ .+-]e?(?<episode2>\d\d+))?(?:[ -]+(?<title>(?![^\\]*?sample)[^$]*?))?\.(?<ext>[^.]*)$

Expresso INPUT = \House\Season 01\S01E02 - Hello - World.avi

Expresso RESULT (using same RegExp engine):

Match Number = 0
Match Text = "House\Season 01\S01E02 - Hello - World.avi"
series = "House"
season = "01"
episode = "02"
episode2 = ""
title = "Hello - World"
ext = "avi"

As in perfect match.

Expresso INPUT = \House\Season 01\S01E02-03 - Hello - World.avi

episode2 = "03"

So it is dual-episode compatible.

Next?

Hi.
Thanks, will try it soon.

Hi.
This one I had tried before, without luck. Not a single match, not even without " - " in episodes name and single episodes files...

Here it is with my simple expression(s) that has issue with " - " but is working anywhere else.

These two simple expressions I'm using since many years now:

1) <series>\Staffel <season>\S<season>E<episode>E<episode2> - <title>.<ext>
2) <series>\Staffel <season>\S<season>E<episode> - <title>.<ext>

All my episodes are automatically renamed to match this naming scheme. Dual episode files are captured with the first expression, single episode files with the second... It's reliable as long as no " - " is in episodes name.
