how best to name files (1 Viewer)

How do you name a file so that it's guaranteed to be picked up by the automatic import? Can you use thetvdb.com to determine what the name should be?

For me worked for example "Prison Break S03E04" without problems. But I'm sure there are more possibilities like "Smallville.1x05".

My problem is that the import doesn't work sometimes, forcing me to manually add each file. Special episodes in particular are not recognized. For example "Bender's Game" is a special episode of the show "Futurama", but none of the following works:

Futurama - Bender's Game.avi
Futurama - 5 - Bender's Game.avi
Futurama - Special - Bender's Game.avi
Bender's Game.avi

Update: specials must be labeled season zero, apparently. But not all names will work. Below are my findings:

Working names:
Futurama s00e01 Bender's Big Score
Futurama s0e01 Bender's Big Score
Futurama 0x01 Bender's Big Score

Non-working names:
Futurama 0x1 Bender's Big Score
Futurama 00x1 Bender's Big Score
Futurama s0e1 Bender's Big Score

This is probably a shortcoming of the default regular expressions.
