Fantastic. I seem to have everything working now. Thanks for the help!

I changed my settings to overwrite everything except the title but was still having issues with films with an original title, for example Youth of the Beast which is officially Yaju No Seishun. This would still duplicate with an extra entry when I imported from imdb.

It seems the solution is not to tick the title but highlight it? Does that make sense? When I get a list of proposed titles if I click on one the tick box becomes blue. If I tick it again it becomes ticked. If I leave it blue and continue it imports the data onto a single entry but if I tick it it creates a second entry.

I don't understand what the first selection is saying (if anything) but it seems to work. I will try a full import now and see what happens.

Thanks again for your help. Brilliant!
I have a few ideas/things in my head about renaming files within pvd but they are a bit off topic for this post so I will post elsewhere at some point.

Hi, Just found this software and it looks great. Only problem is my understanding of Regex. I have been reading the site which is often referenced http://www.regular-expressions.info/tutorial.html and have made a list of functions but I am still confused.

My files are named like this...

title_source.mkv

The only problem is all my titles use a hyphen rather than a space i.e bigger-than-life_dvd.mkv or imagine-werner-herzog_dvb.mkv for freeview recordings.

I tried a few things to ignore anything beyond the _ with no luck.

I also tried to use the find replace function finding all "-" which works fine but I can't specify what to replace it with so all the titles become biggerthanlife_dvd etc.

Also the programme finds most of the titles fine anyway but insists on creating two entries one linked to the the file with the filename as title and the correct title with no linked file. If it can find the title why doesn't it replace my filename with the title I identified?

Hope this make sense. Bascally I would like to know how to parse all "-" as spaces and record anything before "_" as the title.
Any help appreciated.

Thanks
