+--- Thread: Extra REGEX for TV Show Episode matching (/showthread.php?tid=51614)
- xexe - 2009-12-13
Further update r25638 sees a change in the REGEX matching from file or parent folder to full path matching.
I can now make the EXCLUDE REGEX work again so a new as.xml will be coming soon.
Big thanks for VDRFAN for taking time to help me debug this and changing the code.

Version 1.6
See file for some more details of whats changed.
See it here: http://pastebin.com/f195c0368
please tread lightly with this one it has significant changes in it. If you are using the Alpha or Beta versions of XBMC the exclude regex will not work this now as the bug fix is newer than those versions. It will be included in the next RC though.
As always keen to hear feedback

Sorry if this is a bit too off topic but can anyone direct me to a good free xml application for OS X that I can use to paste this in?

You can use TextEdit already on your mac or Dashcode which is part of the developer package on your Leopard install disk. Using Dashcode, the code is is easier to read.

OK so as I feared changing to prepend has caused some problem with shows with long number strings before the series and ep indicator.
e.g. 90210 and Doctor Who 2005
Once I am back at work I will find a fix or if anyone has time to track down the culprit i will fix

Hi xexe
Thanks for this great regex. I have a question about the folder names of a series. I have multiple seasons of series on different locations, so I need the season in the folder name of the series as follows (i try to keep it as "scene" as possible heh):
TV-X264\The.Tv.Show.S3\Episode.Folder.S01E01\episoderar.rar
XBMC is unable to automatically identify any of my series except the ones with year in the title - I have to manually go to each folder of the show and choose info, remove the .S3 from the name, and then it works after that. But I have ALOT of shows, and I would really like it to get the names automatically, is this possible or do I need to rename every folder?

The best way would be to create a tvshow.nfo.
Unfortunately REGEX does not come into play for show name recognition

Edit: The .nfo with only the shows name in it, works like a charm! Thanks!

I'll add the tvshow.nfo to one of the episode folders and see if it gets it. Didn't work. I get an additional error:

I've started a topic in the other thread. Thanks for your help so far.

OP = Opening Post of a thread.
tvshow.nfo
Just put the show URL in and nothing else. No XML no nothing.
i.e. a text file with this one line
http://thetvdb.com/?tab=series&id=83237
Place this file in the root of that specific tv show folder.
