Regular Expressions

Does anyone know of anyway to scan for Episodes inside of RAR files?
I've tried a number of different things and nothing has worked.

yah, i'm pondering adding 'tvshow' as content type as well but i bet it wouldnt help a bit ;D

enable transparent archives.

required for any rarred content scanning.

I have found this page (http://www.xboxmediacenter.com/wiki/inde...e=TV_Shows) and it seems that it fails with me by the regexp. I have, for example, "Las chicas Girlmore\T1\01 - Capitulo piloto". It means i must to change "Season " by "T" to make it work? What file is it? How it would be possible to add several regexp? Season is english only, so here at spain we use more the "TvShow [season]x[chapter] - chapter name" for individual chapters and "TvShow/T[season]/[chapter] - chapter" for full TvShows...

If seen several comments about scanning recursively when "set content" = TV Shows, however, I don't have this option when I set content = TV Shows.

When I set content = Movies I do have the option to scan recursively.

What am I doing wrong? I'm running XBMC rev8582.

OK.. I must be an idiot..

I am downloading my TV shows via RSS torrents.

I have them all separated by folders on my network share.

ex:
computer/D/TV/24

I have made an advancedsettings.xml file and have placed it in /C/UserData/ with the following info:

<advancedsettings>
<tvshowmatching>
<regexp>.*[Ss]([0-9]*).*[Ee]([0-9]*).*</regexp> % *.s01.*e01.*
<regexp>\[[Ss]([0-9]*)\]_\[[Ee]([0-9]*)[^\\/]*</regexp>
<regexp>[\._ \-]([0-9]*)x([0-9]*)[^\\/]*</regexp>
<regexp>[\._ \-][Ss]([0-9]*)[\.\-]?[Ee]([0-9]*)[^\\/]*</regexp>
<regexp>[\._ \-]([0-9]*)([0-9][0-9])[\._ \-][^\\/]*</regexp>
<regexp>[\\/][Ss]([0-9]+)[Ee]([0-9])+</regexp>
<regexp>[\._ \-][Ss]([0-9]+)[\.\-][Ee]([0-9]+)[^\\/]*</regexp>
<twopart>
<regexp>\[[Ss]([0-9]*)\]_\[[Ee][0-9][0-9]\-([0-9]*)\][^\\/]*</regexp>
<regexp>[\._ \-][Ss]([0-9]*)[^0-9]*[Ee]([0-9][0-9])[^\\/]*</regexp>
<regexp>[\._ \-][Ss]([0-9]*)[^0-9]*[Ee][0-9][0-9]\-([0-9]*)[^\\/]*</regexp>
<regexp>[\._ \-][0-9]*x[0-9]*[\._ \-]*([0-9]*)x([0-9]*)[^\\/]*</regexp>
</twopart>
</tvshowmatching>
</advancedsettings>

I have set that "TV" folder's SET CONTENT to TV Shows (TV.com)

all of the files I download are in the file format:

show.s01e01.res.source.ripgroup.avi

ex:
24.S06E19.HR.HDTV.XviD-CTU.avi

When I try TV Show information it just brings up the Enter TV Show Name window over and over. Scan for new content does something quickly (can't read it) then nothing.

What am I missing?! Thanks to whomever has the time to help.

your advancedsettings.xml is broken - % is certainly no valid comment. that's one issue.

but why keep guessing? enable debug logging and see for yourself whats going on.

Hi, could you help me with my Prob?

That's what my shows' format looks like:
smb:\\10.0.0.2\Xbox\Series\Family Guy\Season 4\01- Peter Peter Caviar Eater.avi

(smb:\\10.0.0.2\Xbox\Series is mounted in XBMC and this is where i try to build a database from)

my advancedsettings.xml looks like this:

It seems to find a few shows, but it only shows the shows' names, not the seasons/episodes.
Help?

You are missing <advancedsettings>

Please, please indicate how we can make this more obvious in the online manual!
