(FIXED) how do i name this ep to get it to show up? (1 Viewer)

[lanceuppercu]

i have the top gear polar special ep, i've got all the ep information downloaded and its listed as 0x122, but no matter how i name it in windows, i cant get it to automatically parse as that episode, any help please?

dont want to import it manually as there are a few machine i would have to import it on and i dont want to do that.

You need to modify the default regular expressions for a 3 digit episode name to work. Search the expression exchange thread, as these have already been created by others.

In MP-TV Series config, under the import tab there is a page called Parsing Expressions. This is where you will enter the parsing expression.

i've added:

^.*?\\?(?<series>[^\\$]+?)(?:s(?<season>[0-3]?\d)\s?ep?(?<episode>\d\d\d)|(?<season>(?:[0-3]\d|(?<!\d)\d\d))x?(?<episode>\d\d\d))(?!\d)(?:[ .-]?(?:s\k<season>e?(?<episode2>\d{2}(?!\d))|\k<season>x?(?<episode2>\d{2}(?!\d))|(?<episode2>\d\d(?!\d))|E(?<episode2>\d\d))|)[ -.]*(?<title>(?![^\\]*?sample)[^\\]*?[^\\]*?)\.(?<ext>[^.]*)$

to the parsing expressions tab and changed the type to regexp, tried a refresh and it still doesnt like the filenames:
-top gear s00e112
-top gear s0e112
-top gear 00x112
-top gear 0x112

or even variations with . between the words.

The order is important, make sure your new parsing expression is first in the list, or one of the other ones will attempt it first, and if that one fails it will abort and not process yours.

ah i didnt know that! highlighting the expression i added, the up/down arrow buttons dont seem to work..? infact i cant seem to move any of the expressions (default as well) around..

Yes, you will have to do a mass copy and paste to move all the existing expressions down, unless you are handy enough to edit the SQLite database manually.
