I originally did the import test on my tv shows folder with the original parsing expressions and string replacements, and every tv show failed. So, I turned off all text replacement, and created my own custom "simple" parsing expressions. The following problem example is jusrt ONE of the problems I'm having. According to everything I've read, this should work fine.

I have the following parsing expression (and remember ALL of the string replacement items are disabled):

<series>\<episode> - <title>.<ext>

for the following folder filenames

Band Of Brothers\02 - Day of Days.iso

The parsed output is:

Parsed Series Name: band of brothers
Season ID: (is null/empty)
Episode ID: 01
Episode Title: day of days
Ext: iso

It looks to me like it parsed correctly with the exception of the character casing, but the import test shows that it failed.

What am I doing wrong?

I'm hoping the answer to this will allowq me to fix the other imports as well without bothering anyone any further.

SOLUTION ====================

I had toi use the same naming convention for ALL series. Once I did that, they imported just fine.
