MyTVSeries - Plugin that organizes TV Video Files (1 Viewer)

[Rick164]

What about:

http://www.episodeworld.com/

It uses a huge database, and has a nice community to maintain the shows(like tv.com).
Also i believe it includes logo's of almost all the shows, dunno if the content can easily importer however.
It does mark specials with "special - * "
The site itself since it launch months ago didn't change, and don't see it updating it's design/layout anytime soon.
Example for the season+episode numbers:

http://www.episodeworld.com/show/Lost/season=2/english

Content looks good. Also, it links back to the relevant tv.com show so I can access the wide format banners I love so much...

Pity the html source sucks so much. But hey I'm used to that by now. Can't see anything there that isn't do-able. Thanks for the link I'll see what I can whip up.

Great , they have some sort of eggdrop script(?) which sounds usefull.

http://www.episodeworld.com/botsearch/Invasion for instance returns:

Invasion
Previous: 1x19 Name: The Son Also Rises Date: 2006-04-26
Next: 1x20 Name: Run and Gun Date: 2006-05-03
http://www.episodeworld.com/show/Invasion

Forum link where i found it:

http://paurocks.free.fr/EpisodeWorldScripts/episodeworld.com.v1.4.tcl <-- eggdrop script


/edit:

Seems to be a irc script but their might be some interesting strings inside like the botsearch command and such.
Hope it helps

Okay.. I'm beginning to understand the regexps now... BUT....
Many of my filenames consists only of "Series" and "Episode" not "Season" or "Episode Title"

Filename:
Naruto - 024.avi

Becomes:
Series: naruto - 024
Season: -1
Episode: 24
Episode Title:

If i have a double episode:
Filename:
Naruto - 066-067.avi

Becomes:
Series: Naruto
Season: -1
Episode: 66
Episode Title: 067

I cant get it to recognize the correct Series Name unless it finds an Episode Title.. :-/

Here is my RegExp:
(?<series>[^$]*)( - )(?<episode>[0-9]{1,3})((-)(?<title>[^$]*)|)



Ideas? Like I have said before my skill in RegExps is quite limited...

Have anyone else had the same problem? Please help me if you can.

Thanks.

Glith, your filesname won't/can't work like this. To correctly recognize an episodes it needs the Seriesname and the Season and Episodenumber in the Filename. You only seem to have incremental episode numbers, which, to the best of my knowledge is not supported.

No amount of messing with regex will help you there.

Thanks.
So if i rename all files to something like it would work?:
Naruto s01e01.avi
Naruto s01e02.avi
Naruto s01e03.avi


I just wanted to be sure what to do since I have quite lots of series with only series name and episode in the filename since they dont have a season.

I used Meedio before and there the parser could get the Season from the directory.
Example:
d:\Series\Naruto\Season 0\Naruto - 012.avi

I'll rename and see what happens.. =)

Thank you again!

Hi,

I just stumbled across this plugin and although it's currently not working seems to be just whats needed in media portal.

Now sorry if this has been mentioned before or is already a feature as I have not read all the pages in the thread but I have a suggestion.
It would be nice if when I scheduled a tv show to record through the tv guide it would appear in this plugin, if media portal could save series recordings to a seperate folder then this could be used to search in.

Thanks for all your work on this plugin.

Hi,

First of all, I think you have made a very nice plugin! Problem is, I cannot import any of my series so far. I recently migrated from Meedio to Media Portal so my media libraries are still organised as they were for Meedio. Basically I use a directory based identification as follows:

<drive>:\\<dir>\<dir>\Series\<series>\<season>\<episode>.<ext>

so for example

d:\\media\series\lost\01\01.avi

I cannot get this imported with your plugin. I was already trying to write my own regex but I don't know which "flavour" of regex you use to start with. Is it .Net?

I tried the following code
(^.\+\\([a-z,A-Z])+\\([a-z,A-Z])+\\(?<series>[a-z,0-9,A-Z])+\\(?<season>[a-z,A-Z,0-9])+\\(?<episode>[a-z,A-Z,0-9])
and it gives a match (using RegexBuilder tool) for test file name
d:\media\series\lost\01\01.avi

Still I'm not capable to import my series libraries so there must be something wrong with my code.

I would really appreciate some explanation on how to do this.

Thanks in advance,
Wim

EDIT: smiley in the code should be : ) without the space of course...

Full pathname matching

Hi whendrix,

I came across this short coming when I first started using this plugin. With WeeToddDid caught up in life. I've been working on the data importer.

Once this is done I plan to address this feature request - I want it my self

The reason the data importer is taking so long is I wanted to try and build a site independent data miner. Because HTML has such a loose syntax, this isn't easy. I'm happy to say it's working and currently reads data from episodeworld.com, tvguide.com and tv.com although on release will use episodeworld and tv only.

In the event these sites change their layout, configuration files will allow anyone in the community to fix the site format without the need for a recompilation.

I thought it was worth the extra effort just hope that it lives up to my expectations....

So anyway, hold tight an update will be available soon.

Salty.

Salty.dh,

great job stepping in and working on this plugin. Looking forward to seeing the release...

Now if I could just find some time to finish my plugin....
