Seeing foldernames as series names problem (1 Viewer)

[Rick164]

Hi,


Been having some problems with my-tvseries getting the correct series names so tested it a bit and found out it parses the series names as the folder names.

Examples:

C:\TV\1\american.dad.317.avi

Or

C:\TV\2\american.dad.0319.avi

Is parsed as 1 or 2 as series name, using default version 1.0 with mediaportal 2.3 rc1.
Tried it with older versions as well but gave same results., here is the log file:

This is also with a clean database(deleted it manually), any ideas on why this is happening is much appreciated


PS: normal folder structure gives same results(c:\tv\heroes season 1 episode 1\heroes 1x01.avi etc..)

It is recommended to keep files in this directory structure:
\Series\Season 1\Series_- _1x05_-_episode.avi
or
\Series\Series_-_1x05_-_episode.avi

Otherwise you may want to create your own regex to recognize your directory layout.

you example is wrong:
c:\tv\heroes season 1 episode 1\heroes 1x01.avi

There is no way to find series name neither season because you mixed it together.

 

[Rick164]

But in previous versions it parsed the series name from the video file name didn't it?
Currently i use sabnzbd and it makes the folder structures for me(every episode in different folder), like this:

House - 3x24 - Human Error [12345]

Because this is done automaticly it's hard to change this behaviour, and it worked perfectly before.

 

[piranha]

Then you need to modify regular expressions (regex) in Tv Series configuration to recognize it properly.

 

[Rick164]

It seems that 1 folder is parsed as a show:

Two and a Half Men - 4x23 - Anteaters. They're Just Crazy-lookin [12345]

is parsed as Two and a Half Men

but this one isn't:

Two and a Half Men - 4x24 - Gelato [12345]

Not a regexp expert so would need to find out which does what first, but if that's the only way i will do that.

 

[piranha]

You may have a problem with a dot there. Just guessing.

 

[Rick164]

Disabled the regexp that did the folder check, working again
Thanks for the help

 

[walkerx]

the way i've stored my episodes is in the following format

\SeriesName\S??E?? - Episode Name.avi

and this works perfectly

it would be good if could also detect though when have a combined episode that it could detect this

ie

\SeriesName\S01E01-S01E02 - FeatureLengthEpisode.avi


or can it already do this, and if so how
