    Dear community,

    I have a question concerning the parsing of video titles.

    If I understand correctly, the lookup of video metadata is made of 2 steps:
    1. Parse path and name of a file and find the video title
    2. Request metadata from a database, e.g. IMDB
    The first step doesn't work for my video collection because I have a folder structure that is not quite common. Here are a few examples:
    My Videos\Fictional\English\Film Series\Lord of the Rings\DVD\[Warner - Z5 Y15527] The Fellowship of the Ring (2001)\DVD 1\Side A\VIDEO_TS
    My Videos\Fictional\English\Feature Films\-\DVD\[Warner - Z5 12648] Falling Down (1999)\DVD 1\VIDEO_TS
    My Videos\Fictional\German\Feature Films\-\TV\[2011-08-07 einsfestival] Berlin Calling\Berlin Calling.ts

    When I update the video database, most of my videos are called "DVD 1" or similar. Thus I have to edit each video entry manually (which is quite uncomfortable, of course). Now my question: Can I customize the movie name parsing somehow? The MPTV Series plugin offers good capabilities for custom folder structures (e.g. by supporting variables for folder levels and regular expressions). Can I use something like this for "My Movies"?
