When I tried to import a new series today, I opened up the MP-TV Series config and found it looked and behaved differently to the last time. I had not installed any new versions of the plug-in as it was almost perfect before. Now it will not successfully parse any series with more than one word in the title.

Eg: Seinfeld - OK, automatically parsed. Fawlty Towers - Not autmatically parsed (although it was previously fine). The season ID column contains all the words in the series name after the first one (in this case "Towers"), followed by the season number ("Towers 1"). The rest of the columns are correct.

I had been using the following expression without problems for all my series:

<series> <season>.<episode> - <title>.<ext> (eg. "Seinfeld 4.07 - The Bubble Boy.mpg", etc)

Any ideas on an expression that will work properly now?

EDIT: I entered the name of each series that would not parse into String Replacements and replaced the spaces between the words in the series name with an underscore. Eg: "Fawlty Towers" was replaced by "Fawlty_Towers".

An easy way to get around this problem without actually having to rename all your files manually.
