Expressions/Rules requests (3 Viewers)

Hi, guys, i really need some help to parse some episodes that i've burned on DVD. The thing is, i've renamed the episodes to portuguese, and i cant parse them.

Here is how i rename it: for instance, "lost S05E05.mkv" was burned as "Lost - 5a. Temp. - Ep. 05.mkv". In other words: S05 = 5a. Temp.; E05 = Ep. 05.

Can someone write me the expression that alows me to parse them?

Thanks in advance.

Hi!

Is it possible to parse one episode that is split in 2 files? Some explanation: In tvdb e.g. the last episode of "Scrubs" season 8 is listed as one episode ("My Finale") but it is a double-length episode and at least in German it is split into 2 episodes ("Mein Finale (1)" + "Mein Finale (2)") (another example is M*A*S*H season 4 episode 1). As the team of tvdb won't split this (see here): How can I setup mytvseries to parse this correct? My current regex looks like this:

^(?<series>[^\\$]*)\\S(?<season>[0-9]{1,2})\\(((?<episode>[0-9\W]+)\+(?<episode2>[0-9\W]+))|(?<episode>[0-9\W]+))(( |)(-( |)|))(?<title>[^$]*?)\.(?<ext>[^.]*)$

TheTVDb isn't going to budge, and I understand their reasoning. MP-TVSeries doesn't have multi-part support (as far as I know), so what you are trying to do will be in short 'impossible'. An easy alternative solution would be to just remux both seperate files together as 1.

"AVI Mux GUI" can do this for AVI and MKV files real easy and it will take a few seconds to do so, as no transcoding is being done. It can even create chapter info, so you can jump easy to the start of the '2nd episode' within the single new file you created. This can be done automatic based on the merging, where each file is taken as a chapter.

AVI Mux GUI -> Settings -> Input -> General -> enable checkbox for "generate chapters from filenames".

You can also verify all the settings under Output -> MKV Structure -> Page 1, 2 and 3... but the default settings should be good to go.

Drag and drop your 2 files into the top area (or right click inside of it and use "add"). Then multi-select the files in the right order. So hold down CTRL key, select first file, then second, etc. Then click on the large button "generate data source from files". You can also add SRT subtitle files, or other audio tracks if needed.

Verify chapters are created correctly via the "Chapters" button, and you can also edit things (add in more chapters, or adjust the existing markes).

After you are satisfied, click the "Start" button and feed it a name on how to store your new merged result (be sure to select MKV if you want to use chapters), and then wait a few seconds and you are done.

for this detailed information but I forgot to mention that I already merged the 2 files into one (without chapters though). I was just curious if it could work in another way...
Maybe I give AVI Mux GUI a try so your effort wouldn't be for nothing. And maybe I should do a feature request on the issue tracker (if not yet done by someone) for multi-file support.

EDIT: Done!
