Speaking of episode titles... The reason season 2 isn't included should become apparent if you compare the file names to the titles being scraped.

Thanks scudle for the s01e10 comment.

Now, I can not seem to understand what is the problem with the season 2 episodes:

21:09:33 T:3796 DEBUG: VideoInfoScanner: No NFO file found. Using title search for 'W:\Once Upon A Time\Once.Upon.A.Time.S02e01.Broken.720p.Webdl.mkv'

The S02 episodes are the same as the S01, the only difference is that it includes the 720p text.

It is weird that is looking for anairdate 01/01/1601, but I do not know why is that happening.

Sorry, I was being a little facetious. I meant if you compare the file name of a file that scraped to the episode title that it shows up as in XBMC, you'd notice a discrepancy. e.g.

once.upon.a.time.s01e03.snow.falls.webdl.mkv is scanned in as 1x3. Katy No Pocket (i.e. not 1x3. Snow Falls).

This is because the series is being picked up as Once Upon a Time, and not Once Upon a Time (2011). The earlier series only had one season, so none of the second season episodes will be scanned.

To fix it you just need to add the "(2011)" to the folder name.

That was it! Perfect. I decided to remove all the titles from my episodes, as in any case, XBMC would add them for me. Thanks!

Been spending today working on getting proper regexes for anime. Seems to be solid, and mostly complete. Posting here in case it can help anyone else.

The example files were each tested against the regex to make sure they work. At the moment, every anime TV show I have is properly matched, aside from a few multi-episode files.

Aside: The docs on how multiple episodes per files work (and how the regex is constructed for them) is rather vague, so I just left that out since I couldn't get it to work right. If someone has suggestions, I'd appreciate it.

Fully commented version:

Code:
<advancedsettings>

    <tvshowmatching action="prepend">

        <!-- Regex info: -->

        <!-- First capturing match is assigned to the season.  Second capturing match is assigned to the episode. -->

        <!-- (?i) turns on case-insensitive matching -->

        <!-- (?:stuff) is a non-capturing group for 'stuff', so as not to interfere with season/episode numbers. -->

        <!-- Anime specific matching. -->

        <!--

        Building the regex from back to front:

        Closing checksum (optionally followed by random text, but we don't have to match that) contained in (), {} or [].

        Preceded by any number of bracketed items of any sort of content, with possible spacing, dashes or underscores in between

        Possibly preceded by unbracketed text. Make sure it doesn't find episode numbers inside brackets.

        Preceded by the episode number (optionally labelled), with possible version number

        Preceded by various combinations of dash, dot, underscore or space, to separate the title from the episode number

        Possibly preceded by a season number, or 'Special' or 'OVA'

        -->

        <!-- Regexes listed in order of match preference -->

        <!-- The regexes in the prepend set are anchored to checksums, so should be checked before normal Kodi defaults. -->

Edit: Updated regexes

gahenna · 2013-02-24, 17:53

I have been trying to get XBMC to scrape the shows I have without manually adding the nfo's with no sucess. I have TheRenamer put the files in the format Show/Show.s01e01.name.mkv. I have read through the REGEX that you have been posting and I'm not sure how it will help in me. They seem to help if you keep the files in a format other than the preferred XBMC formats.
Q1. Is there a format I can use that will allow the XBMC scraper to actually do it's job?

Q2. Is there a way I can set up the code to direct certain files to certain shows? Eg. Recognize the show format as Once Upon a Time and start scraping on that?

I have attached my debug code below. pastebin

Thank you

scudlee · 2013-02-24, 19:34

According to your log, you have a tvshow.nfo file (containing xml) in the Once Upon a Time (2011), but it doesn't have an <episodeguide> tag in it. All your episodes are being enumerated correctly, but without the episodeguide URL, there's nothing to match them against.

Delete the tvshow.nfo and everything should work.

gahenna · 2013-02-24, 20:32

So by having Ember Media scrape some episodes I am doing a disservice to my media? XBMC should handle it all or have it all handled 3rd party?

jenkins · 2013-04-17, 22:14

Hi!

I know this is old stuff but i was wondering if it is possible to have one folder full of tvshow files?

like:
MyTVShows/some.serie.bla.SxxExx.bla.mkv
MyTVShows/some.other.serie.bla.SxxExx.bla.mkv

do some one know of a way to do this?

vandark · 2013-04-28, 21:08

hello my series located in a remote ftp server in movies not have a problem but in tv shows the scrappers not recognice the foders and not work correctly ( im tested xem and theTVDB)

the sctructure is:

Tv Shows/_seasons_completes_/The.serie.example.s01.complete.blabhah.2008.blablah/The.serie.example.s01e01..blabhah.720p.blablah/blahblah.the.serie.s01e01.720p.mkv

if I give right click and obtain information from the TV series and manually put the name of the TV series if I updated everything inside that folder correctly.

the problem is that all folders in the series instead of putting a space put a point. (.)

If I put the number with spaces works well

vandark · 2013-05-01, 23:06

in advancedsettings.xml

<advancedsettings>
<video>
<cleanstrings>
<regexp>[ \,\.\[\]\-](spanish|[Ss]([0-9]+)[\.\-]?[Ee]([0-9]+)|\[.*\])([ \,\.\[\]\-]|$)</regexp>
<regexp>(\[.*\])</regexp>
</cleanstrings>
</video>
</advancedsettings>

tvshows in the folder ftp://series scan correcty and works great

but

the tv shows in ftp://_seasons.completes./ dont scan and not working correctly around the 90% fault on detecting tv shows,

any iddea ??

HELP!!!!

<regexp>[Ss]([0-9]+)[][ ._-]*[Ee][Pp]([0-9]+)([^\\/]*)$</regexp> 

just came across some files named foo.S02.Ep01.foo

for some reason after adding in the [Pp] it was regex'd properly .. it was adding all episodes as season 1 and ignoring all the season numbering

what I could not work out is it was getting the episode numbers right

JaKXz · (This post was last modified: 2013-08-11, 06:12 by JaKXz.)

Hi, I have the following example of a TV show and it's path and filename:

Code:
/Volumes/Data/Media/TV/Suits/Season 3/04 - Conflict of Interest [720p].mkv

And this regex to get the season #, episode #, and name:

Code:
(?i)(?<season>se|season\W?(\d{1,2}))\D*[/\\](?<episode>\d{1,2})\W*(?<name>(\w*.\b){1,})

which from the target string example returns

Code:
Season 3/04 - Conflict of Interest

What am I missing in my advancedsettings.xml (I have it under

Code:
<tvshowmatching action="append">

) to make this find all the episodes that are missing from my TV subfolders? I.e. How can I make XMBC recognize the three things I (think) I have pulled from the file string and thus properly list all my episodes?

Please let me know if I can clarify this question better, thanks in advance! Smile

luhanmcs · 2013-09-04, 03:50

I need help because I have some episodes of series that are divided into pieces and languages.
Ex1. Futurama - 00x01 - Bender's Big Score [Part 1].avi, Futurama - 00x01 - Bender's Big Score [Part 2].avi, Futurama - 00x01 - Bender's Big Score [Part 3].avi
Ex2. Hunter x Hunter - 01x01 - [br].avi, Hunter x Hunter - 01x01 - [jp].avi
I want the text that is written within brackets is shown in my xbmc library for the titles shown are not repeated.
It's Possible editing the file "advancedsettings.xml" without having to create NFO files?

**snyft** · 2014-01-09, 14:52

So i was wondering if i use the xbmc standard stacking regexp commands:
<moviestacking>

<regexp>(.*?)([ _.-]*(?:cd|dvd|p(?:ar)?t|dis[ck]|d)[ _.-]*[0-9]+)(.*?)(\.[^.]+)$</regexp>

<regexp>(.*?)([ _.-]*(?:cd|dvd|p(?:ar)?t|dis[ck]|d)[ _.-]*[a-d])(.*?)(\.[^.]+)$</regexp>

<regexp>(.*?)([ ._-]*[a-d])(.*?)(\.[^.]+)$</regexp>
</moviestacking>

Do they cover the ones included in this settingsfile (ie is it outdated)?
