I've worked something out that might be helpful - when changing the sample regex, you also need to look at the file size filter as well - it's not either/or, its both.  And restarting Moving Pictures also seems to help - sometimes I made changes that didn't seem to take effect until I did.

In the advanced settings, the "Settings Details" text for the regex setting suggests that the regex will be used to identify "that the file is a possible sample".

Then, for the max filesize setting it says "if the filesize of the potential sample file is below this value it will be skipped".

So - it first uses the regex, and then checks the size - so only files that match regex and are lower than the size will be ignored.

I have downloaded trailers in the same folder as my films, and I'd rather have Moving Pictures ignore them as I use the trailers plugin if I want to watch the trailer.  Otherwise the trailer plays after the film, and the calculated time of the film is off.

I don't know if this will work for files in a separate folder however.

I tried the simple regex of "sample|plugin" which didn't make any difference, until I also changed the filesize - as my trailers were bigger than the default 150.  Setting this to 200, restarting Moving Pictures, and sending a film back to the importer resulted in the film being imported, without the trailer being added.

The more complex regex didn't seem to work - but I'm not worried about my simpler regex causing false positives - as any film file with either the word "sample" or "trailer" in the title will be bigger than 200 Mb, so won't be ignored.
