Hi.
New to xbmc.. my question is; is there a way to scrape the tvshows the way you scrape the movies?
My folder structure for tvshow is;
shows
|
- episode\rarfiles
- episode\rarfiles
- episode\rarfiles
exatly as my movies, which seem to work perfect.. but no episode is beeing added.
thanks.

So the rar files aren't named as to which episode they are, just the folder they are contained in?
Flirc now has a forum: forum.flirc.tv

Because of an incredibly rare situation that maybe less than 0.1% of users come across because they refuse to properly name their files to one of many possible conventions?
It can be done, though. You'll just have to read up on your regex and do some funky stuff in advancedsettings.xml. It's a lot more work than just renaming the files, though (or you can even have a media manager do it automatically for you).

Whats the actual name of the files inside of the far files?
As Ned mentioned, you can still do it, but you will need to put in some regexp's for a very non standard naming convention.

its usually showname.s0XeXX.uselessinfo.mkv/avi
so i just need to change the preg to match filenames inside the rars?

You shouldn't need to change anything for those file names, but are the rar files inside separate series folders? i.e.
Top folder\Showname1\...\rarfiles1
Top folder\Showname1\...\rarfiles2
Top folder\Showname2\...\rarfiles1, etc. (any intermediate folders would be ignored.)
That's the bare minimum needed, XBMC will get the name of the series from the folder, and then get season/episode from s0XeXX in the filename inside the rar.
It never gets the series name from the file.
