Ok, I've been using Video | Files with the List view type for quite a while.
I've got a huge collection of movies and TV shows mixed together.
I want to start using library mode for Movies and TV Shows so as to have all the extra information available that just doesn't show without enabling Library mode and scraping.
Now I know that having TV Shows and movies mixed together is generally though of as bad (although really, to keep some "sets" together it made a lot of sense for the longest time).
I believe I may be able to keep things just as they are if I can get proper exclude path options built for the scraper settings.
Currently every movie path has the following in it somewhere in the path (without quotes):That is 2 spaces, open parentheses, 4 digits for the year, and then close parentheses.
Meanwhile all of my TV shows have the following in the path (without quotes):That is 2 spaces, open parentheses, 4 digits for started airing year, a dash, 0 or more characters, and then a closing parentheses.
I'd also like it to not add anything from any extras or subs paths to the library. Mostly because some of the items in extras folders are either dupes of the episode/movie at a different quality rating or aspect ratio or just isn't well organized comparatively.
Since I have a rather large library it would be nice if someone could confirm for me that the following content exclude path options would likely be correct (basically double check my regex) before I enable library mode on my video path and start it scanning:
TV Shows Exclude Path Expression (should skip Movies {2spacesOpenparen4digityearCloseparen}, /extras/, /subs/ folders):Movies Exclude Expression (should skip TV shows {2spacesOpenparen4digityearDashAnycharexceptforwardslashornocharsCloseparen}, /extras/, /subs/ folders):
Based on my described formatting will those excludes be correct?
Thanks.
