Problem with episodes with numbers in them (1 Viewer)

[neogeo123]

Hi,

I have recently upgraded to RC3 and MyTV 2 and now whenever i run the import it is getting its knickers in a right twist whenever there is a number in the episode name..

eg..

"titty bang bang 2x3 episode" is the parsed series name from "Titty bang bang - 2x3 - Episode 203.avi" this is happening everytime an episode has a number in it...

I have looked at each of the parsing expressions and they are all causing this to happen..

Please help, this is driving me crazy

Thanks

I'm actually having the same problem with a few episodes.

Here's a few examples, maybe someone can help with it.

Family Guy\00x10 - Family Guy 100th Episode Special.avi
Being returned as:
Parsed Series Name: s00e10 family guy
Season ID: 1
Episode ID: 00
Episode Title: th episode special

Two more Family entries (season 2, episode 11, title: A picture is worth 1000 bucks and season 7, episode 12, title: 420) are similar as well as I'm getting a Community (episode 2, title: Spanish 101), Robot Chicken (season 2, episode 6 title: 1987) and two Stargate SG-1 (season 2, episode 21, title: 1969 and season 10, episode 6, title: 200)

With each of them they are returning the numbers in the title for the ID's and not in the title. I haven't figured out how to fix it other than removing the title from the filename. Any one know an parsing rule to help this?

This is correct. 00x10 means Season 0 Episode 10. Season 0 refers to 'Specials'
Here is the episode on thetvdb.com
Family Guy: Family Guy 100th Episode Special

I can't help you with the other files because you didn't specify the filename, but everything seems to be working correctly.

I think this is probably because you have the season/episode details twice in the filename

2x3 = Season 2, Episode 3
203 = Season 3, Episode 3

Try renaming to "Titty Bang Bang S02E03.avi"

I'm having the same problem and I'm using a simple expression.

<series>\<season>\<episode> - <title>.<ext>

I would expect that everything between the - and the extention counts as the title, but it doesn't list the episodes that have numbers in their title.

 

[kiwijunglist]

could you try

<series>\<season>\S<season>E<episode> - <title>.<ext>

 

[vekoma]

could you try

<series>\<season>\S<season>E<episode> - <title>.<ext>

all my files are named like this:

Series Name\01\01 - title.avi

so there is no S or E in my filenames

 

[kiwijunglist]

obviously the default parsing expression wont cope with that, which is why i suggested you use a different naming format. Alternatively you could try adding a custom parsing expression, but i would have to look up how to do that myself, so your on your own there =)

I actually have my files named as Heroes\Heroes - Season 1\Heroes S01E01 - Title.avi

This works with episodes with numbers in the titles.

Maybe I didn't explain it correct. Here's another example of what the parsing test comes back with before even running an import:

Filename:American Dad/03x09 - Frannie 911.avi
Parsed Series Name: 03x09 frannie
Season ID: 9
Episode ID: 11
Episode Title: <blank>

So when I run the import, it uses this information. You can see that it's wrong. So even though it's sorted and labeled correct, it parses it wrong. And then Tv-series tries to import based on the parsed series name (03x09 frannie) instead of the correct name (American Dad). Now every other file I have sorted this way imports fine, even those with spelled out numbers in the title. It's just the numerical characters that cause the problem.

So in the end, I manually import those with numerical characters and then trim out all of the random wrong series names from the database because the parser can't handle numbers correctly. That's what I'm trying to figure out. Is it the numerical characters or an expression that I need?

I see what you mean you could try /American Dad/American Dad 03x09 - Frannie 911.avi
