I'm still quite a noob in XBMC, but I'm trying to understand it :-)
I added this regex to the advancedsettings.xml and it seems to work quite good.. However, XBMC fails to find episodes for most of my anime series:
In the DEBUG logging I can see XBMC enumerating the episodes correctly as in this sniplet about the series Uchuu no Stellvia:
Code:
21:38:24 T:2988051344 M:782684160 DEBUG: found episode based match with forced season 1 /home/mythtv/myth/video/anime/stellvia/[v-a]_uchuu_no_stellvia_01_[f3ec1314].mkv (e1) [[\._\s\-](\d{1,3})[\._\s\-](?!\d{1,3})(?!.*[/\\])]

.....
But then at the end I get this:

There are no .nfo files and XBMC gets this information from theTVdb about the series itself:
Code:
21:38:23 T:2988051344 M:782761984 DEBUG: scraper: GetDetails returned <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="yes"?><details><plot>In 2167, a supernova explosion engulfed the Earth with a wave of electromagnetic energy, turning the sky green and causing countless disasters. After recovering from that first wave, humanity started putting up defenses to protect itself, and by the year 2356, a network of six Foundations (orbiting space stations) now guards the Earth from a second supernova wave that is expected to arrive later that year. Each Foundation houses a high school for promising young space cadets, and eager 15-year-old Shima Katase has just been accepted to Stellvia, the 2nd Foundation. Making friends, going to class, learning to pilot light spacecraft -- it`s all part of the high school experience, hundreds of miles above Earth aboard space station Stellvia.</plot><id>79782</id><mpaa></mpaa><premiered>2003-04-02</premiered><rating>9.5</rating><studio>TV Tokyo</studio><title>Stellvia of the Universe</title><genre></genre><genre>Action and Adventure</genre><genre>Science-Fiction</genre><thumb>http://thetvdb.com/banners/graphical/79782-g.jpg</thumb><thumb type="season" season="1">http://thetvdb.com/banners/seasons/79782-1.jpg</thumb><thumb>http://thetvdb.com/banners/posters/79782-1.jpg</thumb><thumb type="season" season="-1">http://thetvdb.com/banners/posters/79782-1.jpg</thumb><fanart url="http://thetvdb.com/banners/"><thumb dim="1920x1080" colors="|243,248,254|2,23,128|238,184,160|" preview="_cache/fanart/original/79782-1.jpg">fanart/original/79782-1.jpg</thumb></fanart><episodeguide><url cache="79782.xml">http://www.thetvdb.com/api/1D62F2F90030C444/series/79782/all/en.zip</url></episodeguide></details>
so episodeguide should not be empty?
I'm running XBMC 9.11 on Gentoo Linux
Is this a problem with the regex? or with the scraper? or with the thetvdb data? Only a few of my anime series have their episodes found..
