[QUOTE="Salty.dh, post: 68328, member: 19902"] I need everyone's feedback on the best method for importing your TV shows. Currently the MyTVSeries plugin utilises Regular Expressions based on the Filename only to build the Show's Title, Season and Episode Numbers. I would like to modify the functionality of this data import to include Folders so that 'D:\Series\24\Season 5\Episode 1 - Title Here.avi' is possible. To do this I am proposing a new structure to replace the Regular Expressions. I feel regular expressions are more aimed at taking arbitary data and finding common matches. This isn't really desirable for tv shows as whilst there may be many formats, each user typically chooses one to catalogue their entire collection. So I propose the following format for importing TV shows. 'D:\Series\<SeriesTitle>\<SeasonName>\Episode <EpisodeNumber> - <EpisodeTitle>.<>' another example: 'D:\Series\House\Season 03\House S03E01.avi' 'D:\Series\<>\<>\<SeriesTitle> S<SeasonNumber>E<EpisodeNumber>.<>' This is just some examples of the new format. You could customize this to include any of the fields that MyTVSeries displays. A set of mandatory fields would be included. Please vote! [/QUOTE]
