Shows with more than 100 Episodes (1 Viewer)

[Boiler]

i have a couple of shows (the daily show, the colbert report) which have more than 100 episodes a season.

parsing works fine, but only the episodes up to, say 13x99, get added to the database. the later episodes are not recognized

what's wrong?

I guess when parsing number x00, the plugin thinks it's season x episode 00. That's how I name all my shows, three digits, one for the season, two for the episode.

Check your parsing expressions, I've copied an expression from the forum to parse dvd's, and there I had to use a variable for the total of numbers assigned for the episode.

Something like "Series\Season#(1,2)\Episode#(1,2)". Meaning an Episode number can consist of two digits, maybe if you make it (1,3) it can work for you. Am I making any sense?

thanks a lot man. i think i understand what you mean, but there's no way i'm gonna mess around with parsing expressions and ruining it all. everything works now, except for episodes above 99. i rather see it stay that way than screwing up everything else

thx anyway!

Hello,

I have the same problem with some shows with more than 99 episodes.

After a request in the parsing expression topic, I've got some clues, but as I'm not enough skilled in Regexp, I've not been able to use them.

So, I would be also very pleased to get a full solution for these kind of shows.

I'm not at home right now (and I'm not good with the regexp parsing expressions as well), but I'll see if I can make something of it.

It's too late to do some real digging, but this is the regexp I've added for DVD's.

(?<series>[^\\$]*)\\(?<series>[^\\$]*)\\Episode (?<episode>[0-9]{1,3})\\VIDEO_TS\\VIDEO_TS.IFO

This part could be interesting for you "Episode (?<episode>[0-9]{1,3})"

It is a folder name, named Episode[space]xxx, the {1,3} means the Episode number may constist of 1 to 3 digits.

I have the same problem here...

I have all the Donald Duck cartoon shorts stored with this syntax: "Donald Duck 1x[episode (3 digits)] - (name).avi.", but MPTV Series just starts from 1 again when the number passes 99, so I have for instance 2 of episode 1...
Donald Duck - Short Films: Season 1 Episode List

Could someone help me with the proper regexp to use for this (I have the same problem with the Mickey Mouse shorts)...

TIA

EDIT:
For the record, this one works, thanks to pgjensen.
