Import episode info from name and date? (1 Viewer)

[jacc1234]

I have a question or possibly a request. Some of the show I watch are named with a date instead of the usual Season+Episode. An example would be Dateline.NBC.01.02.09.PDTV.xvid. Would it be possible to have the plugin get the episode and series info from a show in this format? I noticed that Dateline does not have updated info on thetvdb but other shows that are named in the same format are very popular. For example "The Daily Show" or "The Colbert Report"

Any help with regex strings or adding this feature to the plugin would be great. It would make my life much easier! Im sure other people would benefit from this as well.

Thanks,

There's a nice post here that might help you:

My only comment about the Daily Show one is that they sometimes put the year first in their filenames (i.e. The.Daily.Show.2009.01.14.DSR.XviD-LMAO.[VTV].avi instead of The.Daily.Show.01.14.2009.DSR.XviD-LMAO.[VTV].avi).

Not sure how to account for both these possibilities....maybe someone more familiar with regex could help.

Thanks for the link but that still does not totally fix the issue. The poster of those regex expressions states that it will not get the correct episode info. If there was a way to have it reference the episode name with the air date to find show info it would make it easy to get these shows imported.
