[QUOTE="1gkar, post: 301677, member: 53076"] I am trying to come to grips with this great plugin but am struggling a bit with some of the naming expressions. It doesn't help that I have a variety of different models depending on when I ripped the series as backup. I would prefer not to have rename the media files as they are already backed-up to DVD in these conventions. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Also, I would love it to keep it simple, rather than the regex expessions. Thanks. The below are examples of how they are stored to HDD & their paths with naming conventions. Stargate SG1: there are 10 season folders J:\Stargate SG1\Season 1\A18-Solitudes.mkv (where A designates season one & 18 equals the episode). (Season two would = B etc). Babylon 5: there are 5 season folders & one for the movies H:\Babylon5\Season2\2.05-The Long Dark.mkv (where 2 designates season 2 & 05 equals the episode). X-Files, Firefly & The Outer Limits are all named in the above convention. Here's one I might have to rename, but if possible to avoid would be great. Star Trek Voyager: there are 7 season folders H:\Star Trek\Voyager\Season 3\3A9-Future's End-part 2.mkv H:\Star Trek\Voyager\Season 3\3B1-Warlord.mkv The above 2 files are sequential episodes. It was an early attempt at naming for Nero Burning to DVD. The 3 designates the season (3) & A9 & B1 equal successive episodes. I have set the import paths in My-TVSeries plugin to: H:\Star Trek\Voyager H:\Babylon 5 -should this simple expression work? <series>\<season>\<season>.<episode>-<title>.<ext> J:\Stargate SG1 etc. :thx: I want to confirm there are no expression issues before I post further as I seem to be having trouble getting what should be properly named files to load. They seem to parse correct but show no genuine season ID. [/QUOTE]
