[QUOTE="RoChess, post: 613122, member: 18896"] Google Site, Wiki, Forum, etc. To make MP-TVSeries recognize your filename structure you have to match it. My filename scheme is as follows: Import Path = "D:\TV Shows" File example = "D:\TV Shows\How I Met Your Mother\How I Met Your Mother - Season 5\How I Met Your Mother S05E20.avi" The only thing that MP-TVSeries needs is show name, season number and episode number, the episode title is optional and is overwritten once TheTVdB provides it. In my case the filename itself "How I Met Your Mother S05E20.avi" contains everything that MP-TVSeries needs to find a match and therefore the default parsing expressions work fine. You have "<Show name>\season <Season number>\<Epsiode number>\Some File????.extension", which is fine if that works for you, but odds are it is not a default parsing expression (or conflicts with false positive match from a higher priority one). There is a dedicated parsing expression exchange thread on this forum that helps on that. It is also not rocket science to create your own, just remember to place your parsing expression at the 1st position via the Up/Down arrows, because they are processed in order and even a false positive on another rule causes the other rules to be ignored. It is very easy to verify if your parsing expression works, because you can immediatly see the results on the pre-import screen and failed episodes show in red. Sometimes more work is required, but you can use the String Replacements as well. The FAQ has a few pointers and examples on this, so it should be easy to figure out, and if all else fails, ask a proper question on forum with screenshots/logs on your current situation, saying it doesn't work without that info is going to get you ignored by most people that help. There is a lot of work being done on improving the import process, and if you know how to compile from source, you can already play with it. Try the DXVA MPC-HC hotfix for MePo v1.0.2 (you can find it on the MePo forum) or use MePo v1.1 RC2 which has the fix included. You should be able to play any media with the MPC-HC standalone filters, but it can be a nightmare to solve merit problems if you have other codecs installed, or incorrect settings. Once again without log files showing what is going on, nobody can help you there. MP-TVSeries has no problem recognizing single and dual episodes, because that is how TheTVdB works. [list][*]Fringe S02E21.avi [*]Fringe S02E22-23.avi[/list] Those examples work without a problem. If you have a file that contains more episodes just have it match to first episode from your range otherwise and let the MePo playback setup deal with how to play the other parts (Menu/Chapters/etc). You get a weird TV listing then with 4 episodes showing on a 24 episode season (with each ISO containing 6 episodes), but at least it works like MyVideos would. But without screenshots, list dumps, log files, there isn't anything else I can help on and the above is just an accumulation of knowledge you can find on google site, wiki and forum as well.
