Matching DVD rip video ts with TV shows
#1
I'm hoping to use my ripped DVD's rather than my disks. I can re-rip but I would rather not.
I have the folder structure TV/Show/Season/Disk
eg
TV/Lost/Season 1/Disk 2 - Episodes 5-8\VIDEO_TS\
TV/Lost/Season 2/Disk 2 - Episodes 5-8\VIDEO_TS\

I want to have these show as a TV series, I dont mind re-organising my files etc. I have read the wikki and I'm still slightly confused.
Can I use one DVD folder as multiple episodes?
I can make these an ISO again too but I would rather not.

I apriciate any help!

yes, or well almost.

first you have to list each episode number explicitly. secondly you need to create your own tvshowmatching regexp.

So if I name my folders like so:
TV/Lost/Season 1/E05_E06_E07_E08\VIDEO_TS\
When creating my regex what output should I achieve is it season followed by episeode number $1$2 and is xbmc happy having multiple values returned from the episode number. i.e. $1 is 1 for season 1 $2 is 05 $3is 06...

Cheers

ehrm, read a bit too quick.

you want to select the 1 from the season in \1, the E05 in \2 and the rest in \3

I came up with this code:
Code:
Season ([0-9]+)[\\/][_-eE]*([0-9]{2})[_-eE]*([0-9]{2})*[_-eE]*([0-9]{2})*[_-eE]*([0-9]{2})*[_-eE]*([0-9]{2})*
this will match
TV\LOST\Season 1\E05_E06_E07_E08_E09
etc. Is there a way to re-itterate the last match in this code

Code:
Season ([0-9]+)[\\/][_-eE]*([0-9]{2})
[_-eE]*([0-9]{2}) to match all instances of E## and store them in seperate variables.

Are you saying I should match only one episode in my regex and xbmc will atomatically scan $3 for any more eposides?
Quote:The first matched tvshowmatching regexp and "[-EeXx]+([0-9]+)" will be repeatedly applied against a file name until no more seasons or episodes are found.
I am correct in thinking we can have multiple episodes with only one file pointer?

Ever figure this out? I have the same problem, with another wrench to throw into the works: some of my episodes are numbered as "1.1" or "1.2" instead of "1" or "2" on TVDB.
