Hi All, after I upgraded to 1.1.0 I had problems updating my database. Initially all except a few series were listed, but all seasons were grayed out, as if they could not be found on disk anymore. Forced updating did not resolve this. When I emptied the database and ran anouther forced scan, it only found one, out of about 50 series.

After downgrading (and replacing the database file, they don't seem compatible) the import worked properly again.

Any suggestions what I could verify? Any settings that changed over the versions that restrict showing / importing series?

thanks,
Pat

When I upgraded I just manually deleted the TV series database file which seemed to sort everything out.

    Since the upgrade to 1.1.0 files are only reconized if they are in this format

    Show - 1x01 - episodename.avi

    If there are periods instead of "-" it fails the parse. Also, the formatting that perviously worked, such as S01E01 now does not. I find I am having to rename all my files to get them to appear in the database again.

    Eh.. well I checked the regex and it had some errors so I fixed it. I use only this regex:
    Code:
    ^.*?\\?(?<series>[^\\$]+?)(?:s(?<season>[0-1]?\d)e(?<episode>\d\d)|(?<season>(?:[0-1]\d|(?<!\d)\d))x?(?<episode>\d\d))(?!\d)(?:[ .-]?(?:(?<episode2>\d\d(?!
    
    \d))|E(?<episode2>\d\d)|(?:\d\d|(?<!\d)\d)x?(?<episode2>\d{2}(?!\d)))|)[ -.]*(?<title>(?![^/]*?sample)[^/]*?(?<HR>HR\.)?[^/]*?)\.(?<ext>[^.]*)$

    works fine for all my different kind of filenames

    Thanks, that seemed to do the trick, I never used the new syntax of course. Removing the database and using the new regex works properly. The parsing example helps a lot too.

    I have the same problem here, NONE of my episodes parse at all, I have a ton of series, each with various season lengths...the S0XE0X format worked perfect for so long, ALL of my files are now this way, and I'm not switching back, or taking a course in parsing expressions to get this fixed!

    We need to have this resolved, I don't mind repopulating my database to fix this....but going through that many files to rename them when I had done this to fit the plugin in the beginning is totally out of the question.

    I tried the regxp solution above and that did not seem to fix anything at all, so I'm left with a useless plugin and no way to play my files thru MP.

    Just delete all TVSeries databases in the database folder of MP.
    After that reconfigure the plugin (folders, the formats and so on). It should work again.

    Thanks, I was having the same problem and that did the trick.

    To those suggesting rebuild your database, that's all well and good but I have a lot of TV shows and I didnt want to mess up my Watched flags...

    Hi fforde, you can import/export your watched flags from the import tab :)

    Cheers
