What is the preferred TV Shows File Structure for XBMCs TV Show scanner and scrapers? - asuglen - 2010-11-28

I have been trying to work with the TV Shows and trying different formats so XBMC might pick it up. I would post a Log, but that I can't figuer out how to do. I have no option for adding and addon as noted in other threads so they can see my log.

I do need a guide on how to do this, for examp the regexp where do I store the file? in the root of the app install folder? my file format doesn't even follow the below example but if I new what the formating below meant I could modify it so I can customize it to what I need it to be.

<tvshowmatching action="prepend">
<regexp>[\\/]*S([0-9]+) E([0-9]+)[^\\/]*</regexp>
</tvshowmatching>

Not %100 sure what you mean but TV Show structure is:

TV Shows (source folder) -> TV Show (E.G. House) -> Season Number

I label episodes: House S01E01

Cheers,
Rob

Here is an example of how all my Shows are

\TV Shows\Series\Season #\Series - #x## - Title

G:\Media\TV Shows\Human Target (2010)\Season 1\Human Target (2010) - 1x01 - Pilot
