Filter out Sample directories (1 Viewer)

[RoChess]

I can not edit nor test the expression without having full sample data to run it on.

since all the sample video file name + paths located in this thread have \sample\ as the directory name, why not just throw out any files if the parent folder to that file is an exact match with "\sample\" this rule would not fail on any episode with sample in the episode title/filename.

The only way I could image this expression getting it wrong would be if there was a series called sample and the user used the following filename structure \tv series\sample\filename.avi instead of \tv series\sample\Season 1\filename.avi, and if I look on thetvdb there is no series called sample anyways... http://thetvdb.com/?string=sample&searchseriesid=&tab=listseries&function=Search

How does one do such a thing?

Yeah sorry bad suggestion, I looked into this a bit further and not sure how to do that worth the existing way things are done.
