You should also change use \s to refer to spaces, because it is possible to use tabs in filenames as well.

C'mon you can do better than that!
Also on cd, dvd, you should add: pt, title as well
Whats the difference between:
transformers01.avi, transformers01.avi
and
oceans11.avi, oceans12.avi, oceans13.avi
??

Possible? Probably. However i think it would be alot easier and save a lot of time if you were just to change your filenaming scheme. As this thread has established, you are alone and most other people are using CD1, part1 dvd1 etc.

OK so I will change to use a scheme like:
transformers_01.avi
transformers_02.avi
Should be ok?
transformers_01.avi
transformers_02.avi
Should be ok?

I'm not sure if the devs will support that one either.
If I were you I would be safe and change them to include cd part or dvd. I'm not really sure why you dont want to do this as it would be invisible to you anyway once you enable stacking and it saves the confusion which agathorn talked about up there^^

where would the code that handles stacking be in SVN directory?
Also, what library and flavor do you run these regular expressions? Is it PCRE library with c++?

Default expressions are at the top of Settings.cpp
Stacking is done in CFileItemList::Stack().
And yes, we use PCRE.

I never said I used that naming scheme nick.
I disagree with you fundamentally. Computers should conform to humans, not the other way around. There's also always room for improvement.
Well, it was challenging and I came up with something better, like what I was talking about. You can see a demonstration and learn about it here on this thread:
http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=32221
And yes that's a good point agathorn, ocean 12, 13 are different movies and realistically should not be stacked. I figured out a way to still have the cake and eat as well, with strict mode.

Ocean's Eleven
Ocean's Twelve
Ocean's Thirteen
Are what they are offically called
Anyway the point is I have already burnt DVDs with files using those schemes and are you telling me the stacking feature cant handle that simple expression ?

mappyman Wrote:Anyway the point is I have already burnt DVDs with files using those schemes and are you telling me the stacking feature cant handle that simple expression ?We are saying that the DEFAULT stacking expression will not handle it today (nor tomorrow).
Note that this topic-thread is only about the DEFAULT 'out-of-the-box' stacking expression.
YOU can of course later edit the stacking expression on YOUR machine to whetever, see:

I use the following naming scheme:
moviename-1.avi
moviename-2.avi
Stacking isn't working anymore, so I guess I'll have to come up with a regex that will match this. A while ago, I went through my collection and TOOK OUT all unnecessary characters such as CD DVD and part. These are FILES not CDs or DVDs and if I have a -2 after a filename that is OBVIOUSLY part2. Silly to force users to change their naming scheme. As pointed out above, using the REAL movie names, I have never had a problem with sequels getting stacked. That's what you should force people to do.

We use common sense. Common sense says many sequels are named <moviename> 2, so we don't stack 'em by default.
It's not silly to make sure that default regexps do NOT stack sequels, which is what we did. Feel free to suggest a set of alternative default expressions that also meet this criteria.
Cheers,
Jonathan

Luckily the old defaults are sill in the wiki. I just put them in advanced settings.xml and everything is back to normal.
That's what makes XBMC great. Thanks for all the hard work on "The project most likely to change the world"!

What are the current rules for stacking? It wasn't clear in http://wiki.xbmc.org/?title=Stacking as it just seemed to mention what you could change it to in AdvancedSettings.xml if you wanted to.
