Hey, hoping someone can help me here please. I do not really understand Regex at all! Here's a list of all the expressions I am using now:

^(?<series>[^\\$]+?)\\(?:[^\\$]+?)?(?:[Ss](?i:eason\s?)?(?<season>\d\d?).*\\)(?:EXTRAS\\){0}(?:e7)?.*?(?:(?:[Ss]\d{1,2}[Ee]p?(?<episode>\d{1,3})(?:\-[Ee]?(?<episode2>\d{1,3}))?)|\d{1,2}[Xx](?<episode>\d{1,3})).*\.(?<ext>\w{3,4})$
^(?<series>[^\\$]+?)\\(?:[^\\$]+?)?(?:[Ss](?i:eason\s?)?(?<season>\d\d?).*\\)(?:EXTRAS\\){0}(?:e7)?.*?(?:[Ee]p?(?<episode>\d{1,2})(?:\-[Ee]?(?<episode2>\d{1,2}))?).*\.(?<ext>\w{3,4})$
^(?<series>[^\\$]+?)\\(?:[^\\$]+?)?(?:[Ss](?i:eason\s?)?(?<season>\d\d?).*\\)(?:EXTRAS\\){0}(?<episode>\d{2})(?:\-(?<episode2>\d{2}))?[^\d].*\.(?<ext>\w{3,4})$
^(?<series>[^\\$]+?)\\(?:[^\\$]+?)?(?:[Ss](?i:eason\s?)?(?<season>\d\d?).*\\)(?:EXTRAS\\){0}(?:e7)?.*(?:\d{1,2}(?<episode>\d{2})(?:\-(?<episode2>\d{2}))?).*\.(?<ext>\w{3,4})$
^(?<series>[^\\$]+?)\\(?:[^\\$]+?)?(?:[Ss](?i:eason\s?)?(?<season>\d\d?).*\\)(?:EXTRAS\\){0}.*?(?:(?i:part|episode)\.?\s?(?<episode>\d\d?)(?:\-(?<episode2>\d\d?))?).*\.(?<ext>\w{3,4})$
^(?<series>[^\\$]+?)\\(?:[^\\$]+?)?(?:[Ss](?i:eason\s?)?(?<season>\d\d?).*\\)(?:EXTRAS\\){0}.*?(?<episode>(\d\d))(?:\-(?<episode2>(\d\d)))?.*?\.(?<ext>\w{3,4})$
^(?<series>[^\\$]+?)\\(?:[^\\$]+?)?(?:[Ss](?i:eason\s?)?(?<season>\d\d?).*\\)(?:EXTRAS\\){0}.*?(?<episode>(\d)).*?\.(?<ext>\w{3,4})$

The odd thing is it picks up Law & Order but does not pick up Law & Order Los Angeles or Law & Order True Crime.

Hard to tell why it is not working if it is unclear what filenames these are supposed to match. Some samples that don't work (and maybe some that do work) would be helpful here (preferably the full path).

In absence of these, I would hazard a guess that it is more likely that some other factor is at play here than 'just' the particular name of the tv-show. These patterns seem to be suitable for a file structure of a folder per tv show (its name is used for matching) containing folders for the individual seasons, which finally contain the video-files themselves (with at least the episode number somewhere in the name). If the problematic files are organized differently, that would certainly explain it.
