Adding videos to database
« on: December 25, 2012, 04:42:48 pm »
I've had a lot of difficulty in adding some tv serials to the database.
I know that this has been addressed before & the solution is to use regex, but I looked through it & couldn't understand a bit of it
Could you please help me out & give me the regex for the following serials?

24:
24 - S02E01- Day 2  8 00 A.M. - 9 00 A.M
24 - S02E02 - Day 2  9 00 A.M. - 10 00 A.M
24 - S02E03 - Day 2  10 00 A.M. - 11 00 A.M

Flash forward:
FlashForward [1x01] No More Good Days
FlashForward [1x02] White To Play
FlashForward [1x03] 137 Sekunden



Jeremiah:

Season 1
Episode 3 - Man Of Iron Woman Under Glass
Episode 4 - And The Ground Sown With Salt
Episode 5 - To Sail Beyond The Stars

Season 2
Episode 1 - Letters from the Other Side (1)
Episode 2 - Letters from the Other Side (2)
Episode 3 - Strange Attractors


Prison Break:

Season 1
Prison Break Season 1 Episode 01 - Pilot
Prison Break Season 1 Episode 02 - Allen
Prison Break Season 1 Episode 03 - Cell Test

Season 4
Prison Break Season 4 Episode 03 - Shut Down
Prison Break Season 4 Episode 04 - Eagles and Angels
Prison Break Season 4 Episode 05 - Safe and Sound

I've listed 3 episodes for each to give an idea on how the episodes are arranged on my pc....
Please help me out!
Thanks in advance! :)

You've actually illustrated 4 different file-naming patterns, not 3. And if this is just to "give an idea" of how your episodes are named, I'm not sure anyone can help you. If you said you use 3 and only 3 patterns—and could justify using 3 rather than 1—I might consider helping to determine the 3 regex needed. As it is, there doesn't seem to be much point in coming up with 3 regex when 4 and probably more are required.

Perhaps we should start be seeing if your episodes can be renamed to one consistent file pathname. I believe the default regex will work fine if you use something sensible like D:\Video\Series\[Series]\[Series] S00E00 [Title].ext. Something like Flexible Renamer will help in that regard.
