Regular Expressions

Here is an example: (I know it is not a good way to name my files but it is because I watch them on the computer also and it just looks neater. I am a neat freak. What can I say?)

Studio 60 On The Sunset Strip\Season 1\Studio 60 On The Sunset Strip - Season 1 - Episode 04 - The West Coast Delay.avi

I think one of the problems is the Season 1 directory. I have tried the following expressions:

<regexp>[\._ \-][Season ]([0-9])[\-]?[Episode ]([0-9]*)[^\\/]*</regexp>
<regexp>[\._ \-] Season ([0-9]*)[\-] Episode ([0-9][0-9])[\._ \-][^\\/]*</regexp>
<regexp>[\-]Season ([0-9]+) - Episode ([0-9]+)[^\\/]*</regexp>
<regexp>[\._ \-]*Season([0-9]+)*Episode([0-9]+)*[^\\/]*</regexp>
<regexp>[\\/][\-][Season]([0-9]+)[\-][Episode]([0-9][0-9])[^\\/]*</regexp>

Plus a few others that I overwrote. And I tried yours jmarshall. That didn't work either. Again, I think it is the Season 1 directory before the files but I am not sure.

J_K_M_A_N (You get used to typing that. )

Season ([0-9]+) - Episode ([0-9]+)

will catch that file. No need to make it more complicated than that.

I used http://www.regextester.com to confirm.

I am losing my mind! Now my xbox won't boot if I have an advancedsettings.xml file on it with the <tvshowmatching> entries in it. This is the EXACT contents on my advancedsettings.xml file:

<AdvancedSettings>
<displayremotecodes>true</displayremotecodes>
<tvshowmatching>
<regexp>Season ([0-9]+) - Episode ([0-9]+)</regexp>
</tvshowmatching>
</AdvancedSettings>

If I ONLY have displayremotecodes in it it works fine. When I add <tvshowmatching>, it hangs.

I don't have a debug log because it doesn't make it that far. This is all I get:

I have to quit for now. I am going crazy. Sorry to have wasted all your time. If I get it working I will DEFINITELY update the wiki. Thanks so much for the help.

You must have the <twopart> tag present due to a bug (that has been fixed).

THANK YOU!

I will try again.

Well, I keep trying and I keep failing! You can see my advancedsettings.xml above but it still doesn't find info for the files. I renamed the first two episodes like so:

Studio 60 On The Sunset Strip - S01E01 - Pilot Episode.avi
Studio 60 On The Sunset Strip - S01E02 - The Cold Open.avi

The rest are as follows:

Studio 60 On The Sunset Strip - Season 1 - Episode 03 - The Focus Group.avi
Studio 60 On The Sunset Strip - Season 1 - Episode 04 - The West Coast Delay.avi
Studio 60 On The Sunset Strip - Season 1 - Episode 05 - The Long Lead Story.avi

Etc..etc..etc

Those files are in the directory:
Studio 60 On The Sunset Strip\Season 1\^The above files^

While on that main directory I am pressing the white button and scanning for new content. It gets info for the first two files that I changed but not any of the others. I am at the end of my rope. I am about to rename all my files but I would like to help at least a little by (having you guys ) figure this out. I really don't know what else to try.

If it can't work the way I have it, I will rename but it should work I would think. I am just missing something. Again, sorry to bug you guys.

kids.
<AdvancedSetttings> != <advancedsettings>

Please update this wiki page with your custom regexps: http://www.xboxmediacenter.com/wiki/inde...e=TV_Shows

<AdvancedSetttings> != <advancedsettings>

Are you talking about the filename or the tags? Because the displayremotecodes works as is with the <AdvancedSettings> tag. That is the reason I put that in there. So I would know if it was reading the advancedsettings.xml file or not.

I have tomorrow off so I will work on it then and see what I come up with. When I get it, I will update the wiki...both parts.

Well, I got the newest version today and tried again. Still no luck. Has anyone gotten a regexp to work when used from the advancedsettings.xml file? I can't get ANY to work. I tried the following:

advancedsettings.xml file contents:

Tried to use those on these files...

Lost\Season 1\Episode 01 - Pilot.avi

and

Studio 60 On The Sunset Strip\Season 1\Studio 60 On The Sunset Strip - Season 1 - Episode 03 - The Focus Group.avi

I also renamed two other studio 60 files like so:

Studio 60 On The Sunset Strip\Season 1\Studio 60 On The Sunset Strip - S01E01 - Pilot.avi

and those are found. It almost seems like it is not using the advancedsettings.xml entries to search. Both of those expressions are found in the online tests so I don't know what else could be wrong.

So please post if you have any files that aren't found without adding a regexp in the advancedsettings.xml file and what the regexp is and how the file is named. Thanks.
