[QUOTE="ultimatejoe, post: 1243353, member: 58350"] For whatever reason, SchedulesDirect is getting bad EPG data from my service provider (Beanfield in Canada) and as a result I'm getting wonky episode names; it happens for about 10% of the shows I record. That being said, the correct information is IN the filename, I just can't figure out the parsing string I need to use to get it. When I do get bad filenames they come in one of two flavours (below), and I'm hoping the tall foreheads here can help me: I use the following format: <SeriesName> - S<SeriesNumber>E<EpisodeNumber> - <EpisodeTitle> which should produce something like: [B]Brooklyn Nine-Nine - S05E18 - DFW[/B] Issue one: [B]\Brooklyn Nine-Nine - SEP01739009E518 - DFW[/B] The XML has a wonky series number ("EP01739009"), then includes the series number AND epside number as the episode value ("518"). Basically I need to figure out how to ignore the wonky series number, and split out the series and episode numbers from the last three digits in the text string. Issue two: [B]\S05E518 - DFW[/B] Sometimes after MCEBuddy has done it's thing it will capture the series number in the episode number. I'm assuming this is related to the bad XML issue I've described above but I can't figure out how to manage on the MCEBuddy side so I'm hoping there's a way I can set up My TvSeries to read this correctly as well. Any help would be greatly appreciated. [/QUOTE]
