Problems when adding TV Shows - cristhianfs - 2008-09-26

Hello, and sorry about my question Im starting to use XMBC in windows and I have this problem, when I try to add a TV series, it seems to do a scan but then the library remains empty, like it doesnt download the data, this is my current naming convention

C:\Download\The Big Bang Theory\Season 2\02x01.The Bad Fish Paradigm.avi

and the content of my advancedsettings.xml

<tvshowmatching>
<regexp>[0]*([0-9]+)x[0]*([0-9]+)[^\\/]*</regexp>
</tvshowmatching>

Is there something am I doing wrong? what is the default naming convention to use in case this xml doesnt work?

Im using the scraper from TheTVDb in Vista64

Thank you very much!

You don't need the [0]* in either case and you probably need a proper stop at the end (ie. \.....$)

so then it would look like this?

<tvshowmatching>
<regexp>([0-9]+)x([0-9]+)[^\\/]*</regexp>
</tvshowmatching>

It might also be that http://www.thetvdb.com/ is down.

ok now I got it to work and download the info from theTVDb, the only problem is with the second part

<tvshowmatching>
<regexp>([0-9]+)x[0]*([0-9]+)[^\\/]*</regexp>
</tvshowmatching>

in this part instead of recognizing it as the episode number , it shows like it was more that one episode, like 1, 2 or 3 episodes respectively

example: 2x03.The Mousetrap this one shows like 3 episodes instead of episode 3

any help? thank you!

I'm also having trouble with this. My TV-shows are located in /media/Tv-shows/Generation Kill, for example, but i the TV-Shows menu all I see is "Generation Kill - 0 episodes.

The files are named Generation.Kill.S01E01.avi, is this the problem or should I change it to something else?
