(original thread) MP-TVSeries (3 Viewers)

[Psycho Reptile]

My files are on a network share I select every series name manually when MP-TVSeries is chosing series names, but I guess this only happens once when updating or creating the database. Don't really want guessing done based on the shortened name... No problem really, just though I'd mention it.

I have all my series on a network share and no problems getting them into the db. Two or three series names I have to choose from the list (i.e. CSI NY - files named CSI.New.York), but that is of no concern to me (and I only had to do this during the first import).

Love the plugin. It is fantastic. WAF is over the top.

This great plugin worked fine for a while, but noe when i try to configure it from MP setup plugins, I get an error message with following info:

It works ok in MP it self except my db has multiple entries of the same show. I wonder if something is wrong with my db? Where does it store the db so that i could delete it and maybe that would solve the problem?

Can you assist me with regexp?

Hi there -

My complements, this looks to be a solid improvement over the previous TVSeries plugin.

I need some assistance with regular expressions. I did try read some tutorials online and do this myself, but after an hour of unsuccessful experimentation, I decided that I needed some help. ;^)

My structure is as follows:

24\Season 1\24 [1x01] 12.00am - 1.00am.avi

The as-shipped regexp below *almost* parses it correctly:

Pattern:

^.*?\\?(?<series>[^\\$]+?)(?:s(?<season>[0-1]?[0-9])e(?<episode>[0-9]{2})|(?<season>(?:[0-1][0-9]|(?<!\d)[0-9]))x?(?<episode>[0-9]{2}))(?!\d)[ \-\.]*(?<title>[^\\]*?)\.(?<ext>[^.]*)$

Yields:

Series: "24 ["
Season ID: "1"
Episode ID: "01"
Episode Title: "] 12.00am - 1.00am"
Extension: "avi"

So, what I am trying to determine is how to modify the regexp pattern to get rid of the 'braces'.

I did consider the alternative of renaming all of the files, but this would represent a significant effort.

Thanks in advance for any assistance you can provide!

try a simple exp. like this:
<series> [<season>x<episode>] .

and turn of the replacements...

edit:
if you're using regex. I think the [ messes up the parsing.

I should have mentioned previously - I did try the simple expressions first, and I did turn off replacements. Unfortunately, parsing fails using this method for some reason, I had expected it to work ...

Odd behavior - Importing additional series

zeflash -

I noticed some odd/unexpected behavior in Import Setting of configurator. I'll try to explain as clearly as possible:

In Import Settings, when using multiple Import Paths, when I go to Parsing Test, only the series supported by the paths that are 'Enabled' on the Import Paths screen are test-parsed. (as expected)

I would then expect 'Start Import' to then work the same way, but instead, if the Import Paths for a previously-imported series is 'disabled', when I 'Start Import' for the new series, the new series is imported, but the previous series is 'greyed-out' in Details, and all of the local filename and other data is gone.

I would expect that if previous paths/series are still in Import Paths list, but are disabled, and I add a new (enabled) path/series to the list, that the previously-imported disabled paths/series would not be parsed and the associated data would be untouched.

Do I misunderstand the intent of the 'enabled' indicator in Import Settings/Import Paths?

Note that the way I intend to use your new plugin is in a 'manual import' mode only. I know that it can automatically scan for new files, but I have this disabled, as I wish to maintain the stability of my system seeing as how some plugins/code are still new and/or experimental. For this reason, I import and update each season 'manually' in this way.

I should mention - I am using 0.4b.

Thanks!

Try removing the [] in one of your files and change the expression accordingly.

If the file is parsed, I think you should consider renaming your files... Use an application that can find and replace and do this:

Find: " [" replace with "."
Find: "]" replace with "."

Thanks - I do appreciate the suggestions, however renaming the files is not an option. They are indexed by another front-end I am using, as well as a different database program which I use.

I am still playing with regular expressions today. Fortunately it is a holiday here in the states.

What I am trying to create is the expression that parses the following substrings:

$1 - <series> is all of the text between the beginning of the string or the nth occurence of '\' and the 1st occurence of '<space>[' (this strips leading paths)
$2 - <season> is a 1 or 2 digit number between '[' and 'x'
$3 - <episode> is a 1 or 2 digit number between 'x' and ']'
$4 - <title> is all of the text between ']<space>' and '.'
$5 - <ext> is all of the text after '.' to the end of the string.

There *must* be a way, but alas I am a regexp noob.

Turns out I had sufficient free time today to figure this out. This was the answer:

^.*?\\?(?<series>[^\\$]+?)\[(?<season>[0-1]?[0-9])x(?<episode>[0-9]{2})(?!\d)[\] \.]*(?<title>[^\\]*?)\.(?<ext>[^.]*)$

Phew!
