I don't know what I'm missing ,but I can't seem to get it to parse a single episode correctly. I have tried with several diffrent shows I have that have diffrent filename configurations, and none parse right.

My path is f:\Animated Sitcoms\The Simpsons\Simpsons Season 08 - Complete [rl]\Simpsons 08x01 - Treehouse of Horror VII [rl].avi

Another example is f:\Animated Sitcoms\American Dad\american.dad.101.pdtv-lol.avi

yet another would be f:\Animated Sitcoms\Family Guy\Season 4\family.guy.401.pdtv-lol.avi

none of these will parse correctly. And I don't have enough time to manually parse 17 seasons of the simpsons, 5 of fmaily guy, 2 of american data, 5 of futurama, 2 of dilbert, etc....I really like how the plugin is laid out and such, but this is annoying that I can't seem to get it working right.

Salty,

with the RegEx I was able to import almost all my shows. :)

Only four series had some issues:

1 & 2: German shows - there are no english summaries in Episodeworld

3: V - The plugin didn't identify this series and then offered the first 50 shows with a "v" in the name. That list did not include the correct show.... :(

4: Lord Peter Wimsey - for this show I got the following error message:
05.08.2006 18:59:03 - Processing File: f:\tvserientest\lord.peter.wimsey.s01e01.avi
05.08.2006 18:59:04 - Regular Expression: '(?<series>[^\\$]*) (s|season |)(?<season>[0-9]{1,2})( |)(x|e|ep)(?<episode>[0-9\W]+)(( |)(-( |)|))(?<title>[^$]*?)
05.08.2006 18:59:04 - Parsed Information: Lord Peter Wimsey - 1x1 -
05.08.2006 18:59:04 - Searching TV Site for matches on parsed series name. Lord Peter Wimsey
05.08.2006 18:59:05 - An exception occurred attempting to import the series: Lord Peter Wimsey
05.08.2006 18:59:06 - System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
at WindowPlugins.GUITVSeries.ImportVideo.ProcessFile(String VideoFile)

This show is listed differently in Tv.com and in Episodeworld. I prefer importing the TV.com information for this show...

Aside from these minor issues everythings works perfect for me now!! :)

Awesome job!!

    Looks grat, but I have one request:

    In the simple/reg ex. parser-tabs there are buttons for [add] and [remove]. Could you put a [edit] (or [copy selected])? Grest when you are testing strings.


    Thanks in adv.

    I also thought about requesting that but then i saw that if you remove an item it will be load into the edit-field.

    I will test the 0.41 later.

    When importing a series (in this case "House") all series informations are downloaded and then I get


    There were no episodes for this season in the database. Skipping to next filename.
    Successfully downloaded episode listing into database.
    Added Lines in the Sand(Episode ID: -1) to database.
    Added Informed Consent(Episode ID: -1) to database.
    .
    .
    .

    Then it relaods all series informations again and I get the same behaviour - looks like it does it for all episodes... But nothing is entered in the db.

    i'm getting this same behaviour as well!

    also - i wanna put in a vote that salty get's svn access and that this plugin becomes part of the mp core. this is such an awesome plugin, and obviously a feature that's highly in demand! i think it'd be a great selling point for mp :D

    Hello,
    Could we make a common file where each one shares its templates and real path and filename ?
    So it would be easy to see what template has to be used.
    Maybe it could be integrated in the plugin.
    We could get something like :
    _____________Real Path and filename_________________________________________Template
    V:\Series\Desperate Housewives - Saison 1 - Episode 01.avi------------------V:\Series\<series> - <season> - <episode>

    What do you think about it ?
    As for me i can't get the plugin woking with configuration i described. Thanks for your help and sorry for my poor english :oops:

    Those of you having problems where it's throwing an Episode ID: -1 when adding to database.

    Could you delete your db again and try?

    The reason i ask is because mcbelly's log file indicates the special column is missing from the db.

    You just need to let it recreate that by deleting the db and starting up the plugin in config mode. It should recreate the db in the right format.

    Glad to here things are working alot better. It was just a typo that appeared AFTER i tested it all ;) It *was* late. ;D

    I'll fix up the bugs people have posted asap.

    Enjoy!

    Salty.

    Try: V:\Series\<series> - Saison <season> - Episode <episode> as a template.

    Thanks for the suggestion. I was planning to include it in the next release when I found it was handy knowing exactly that. Thanks again.

    i'm having trouble setting up the expressions needed to get my episodes to parse. i think i could get around the problem if:

    - the search and replace function applied when using simple expressions
    OR
    - if there was a way of getting regular expressions to be applied to file names only, not folder names

    first option is probably easiest, and it would also fix problems i'm having where the series name is identified as 'arrested.development', which means the parser can't automatically match it up with an online source.

    what do you think salty?
