How to scrape TV Shows with Folder Structure and no Season Number in Filename?
#1
Hi everyone,

I tried to scrape my TV Shows with xbmc and with ember media manager and both have a problem with my file structure.

It looks like this:

\TV Show 1 \ Season 1 \ Episode1.avi
\TV Show 1 \ Season 1 \ Episode2.avi
...
\TV Show 1 \ Season 2 \ Episode1.avi
....

and so forth. Can I teach ember media manager to scrape this structure with a custom regex format? Sadly I don't realy now how regex works.

Can someone help me out?

Cheers!

Download FileBot, it'll rename your current shows with a few clicks to something usable.

Either rename your files per Piers' suggestion or add a custom file matching regex to XBMC's advancedsettings.xml:

Code:
<tvshowmatching action="prepend">
   <regexp>(?i)[/\\](?:s|season)\s?(\d{1,2})[/\\]episode(\d{1,2})([^/\\]*)</regexp>
</tvshowmatching>

Thank you for the answers!

I renamed all movie files which with a software called balk renamer tool

It was pretty easy. I just added "SxE" where x is the Season Number for the current Season.

Thanks again!
