MP-TV Series does not import rar files, Desperate. (1 Viewer)

[d_k_id]

Hello,

I have a lot of TV episodes which are in rar - in MP - TV Series - When I click the refresh button some of the shows (rar files, several parts) are not found.
I have added most the regexp I saw in 'Expressions/Rules exchange' link - no help.

e.g. for a problematic folder:

F:\Media\TV\How I Met Your Mother\How.I.Met.Your.Mother.S06E01.720p.HDTV.X264-DIMENSION\

under it I have How.I.Met.Your.Mother.S06E01.720p.HDTV.X264-DIMENSION.rar - How.I.Met.Your.Mother.S06E01.720p.HDTV.X264-DIMENSION.r10 (.nfo and .sfv files)

when I extract the mkv file from the rar (on the same dir) the import refresh finds the file, so I assumed that maybe if I copy existing regexp with .rar instead of .<ext> - that also did not help

Thanks in advance for any help.

NOTE - in the log you can see Life was not parsed well - I don't care about it I edit it manually on one of the next steps and it is fine.

Add .rar to the video extensions in MediaPortal. TVSeries only cares about what are videos.

Then you need some sort of filter to be able to play directly from rars, but this has nothing to do with tvseries. Use search and you should find a few threads about it.
