Hi all, firstly please excuse me if I seem ignorant, I am just having some trouble with the automated process of this plugin and my naming system, and Im hoping that by giving some examples, someone may be able to assist me with what type of regexp code I can use to recognise my shows!

Basically, my naming structure is as follows:

I have a parent Directory - My Videos. Then below that is TV (This is the folder that is monitored). Below that is tv show name, then below that is Season, then within this folder is the tv show files. Now, half of my shows are recognised, and half are not. I am hoping that there may be a parsing expression I can use to identify the titles without having to rename all my files!

An example of a series that doesn't work for me is Balls of Steel. Its structure is as follows: TV\Balls of Steal\Season x\Balls of Steel s0x.e0x.avi

I also found that I had alot of shows that had the episode details in [] ie [s0xe0x] and these were not recognised. I went through and removed all the [s0xe0x] hoping this would work, leaving just the title of the episode, but these weren't recognised either. Is there a way I can have it search by title of episode? ie TV\Dexter\Season x\Crocodile for dexter season 1 episode 2 (episode entitled Crocodile). What would be a universal regexp formula I could use to search for tv shows and episodes with a structure like this example? At least this way, it should thin out my shows that aren't recognised and let me manually add alot less.

I hope this is making sense, I have been at it for days and its driving me mad! I dont mind manually parsing some files, but I currently have pages of shows like this! ANy help or guidance in the right direction would be MUCH appreciated! I will supply any extra detail or examples necessary if you dont quite understand what I mean.

Thanks in advance, Glen
