Scraping - Custom Directory Structure & File Names - Knottyboy - 2012-08-15
Hey All,
So I've left my XBMC set up for awhile. I have a custom regexp:
Season[\._ ][0]*([0-9]+)[\\/][ep[0]*([0-9]+)[^\\/]*
Which looks for:
Show\Season 01\[ep01] - Name Of Episode.avi
My only issue is multipart episodes. These are named in two conventions:
[ep01-02] - Episode 01 Name + Episode 02 Name
or
[ep01a] - Ep Name (p1)
[ep01b] - Ep Name (p2)
I had a look here:
http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=Adding_videos_to_the_library/Naming_files/TV_shows
and is says:
Quote:Note that when using a custom RegExp to match a custom file naming convention, add (.*) to the end of the RegExp so that the 3rd RegExp capture is found for the second episode.
So I have added .* to the end of my "Season[\._ ][0]*([0-9]+)[\\/][ep[0]*([0-9]+)[^\\/]*" leaving me with:
Quote: Season[\._ ][0]*([0-9]+)[\\/][ep[0]*([0-9]+)[^\\/]*.*
This still works for the single episode files however nothing changes on the multipart episodes.
I must confess I did bring this up about a year ago (almost to the day =S): http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=107867.
Sorry about that but it's been a year and I still haven't got round to making sense of it.
Perhaps if someone could break down the RegExp as I just made an educated guess at what it should be and it worked (well for the single episode files).
Do I need to change the naming format for my mulitpart episodes, as currently I'm assuming I can get away with leaving them as "[ep01-02] The Begriming + The Second Comming.avi".
Thanks in advance,
Knotty.

You need a capture around the .* at the end.

Excuse my ignorance but what is a capture?

I thought as much but they all seem closed off to me.
I tried running it through http://regexpal.com/
(At work so have not tried it in XBMC yet)
But this seems to select the right bit of text:
Quote:Season[\._ ][0]*([0-9]+)[\\/][ep[0]*([0-9]+)[^\\/]...
From the below:
C:\Show\Season 01\[ep01-02] - Info.avi
the quote string returns:
Quote: Season 01\[ep01-02]
Is this what I need it to return in order to scrape the correct info?
(Will do this by trial and error tonight but thought I'd ask the question to give myself a head start.)
I appreciate that adding the ... only allows for 3 following characters but I think this should be okay as I don't believe I have any two part episodes witch go into 3 figures (ie [ep100-101]).

If you follow the advice from jmarshall and the pointer from me, then this should leaves you with:
Code:
Season[\._ ][0]*([0-9]+)[\\/][ep[0]*([0-9]+)[^\\/]*(.*)RE: Scraping - Custom Directory Structure & File Names - Knottyboy - 2012-08-16

Heh will try yours first as you guys actually understand it. Trust it will work but will update the post either way.
Thank you to the both of you.
