Problem with tvshowmatching - davide.duca - 2019-04-27

Hello, 

I have many TV series (about 200) with this folder structure:

\SerieTV\S01E01 - Title.avi

I would like not to change this structure used in many years, because I risk losing the list of files already seen, saved on the mysql database.

I tried to configure the advancedsettings.xml file with the following configuration:

 <tvshowmatching action="append">
     <regexp>[Ss]([0-9]+)[\.\-]?[Ee]([0-9]+)([^\\/]*)$</regexp>
 </tvshowmatching>

as a result it recognizes the poster and the plot of the series but not the list of files.

Could you give me a suggestion?

Thanks

The episode naming is fine. you do not need a special RegEx for that.

Do you have separate TV Show folder for each different TV Show? This is a requirement and will not work any other way. You cannot put all episodes for different shows in one folder.

Hello Karellen,

In this case i will remove from the advancedsettings.xml the configuration:

 <tvshowmatching action="append">
     <regexp>[Ss]([0-9]+)[\.\-]?[Ee]([0-9]+)([^\\/]*)$</regexp>
 </tvshowmatching>

I confirm the directory configuration:

\SerieTV_1\S01E01 - Title.avi
.
\SerieTV_1\S01E0X - Title.avi
.
.
\SerieTV_X\S01E01 - Title.avi
.
\SerieTV_X\S01E0X - Title.avi

But I still have the same result even changing scraper:

- only poster and plot for each TV series, but without file list.

the system consists of:

N. 2 Librelec clients, (N.1 x86 and N.1 Rasperry Pi 2B)
N. 1 Debian Linux Server 9 ARM CPU:
with Samba with TV Series shared in one directory, and Mysql for the DB of Kodi

Do you have same suggestion?

@davide.duca

If I understand correctly, you only have the TV Show in the library but no episodes. Is that correct?

If yes, can you delete one of those shows from the library. Then provide a Debug Log which captures you scraping the show back into the library.
