I got it working by screwing around with winetricks for a bit. *shrug*
But whatever just tryin to help.

I just said that it was complicated I didn't mean any disrespect.

Out of curiosity, why this insistence on using file mode? I'd always thought the two main reasons to use XBMC in the first place were 1)the ability to play nearly any file and 2) the library.

A couple of reasons:
1-I have a lot of files that don't scrape (like the daily show)
2-I delete most of the files after I watch them.
3-I watch a lot of foreign films that just wouldn't appear on the library without my intervention every single instance.
4-Library still shows deleted videos unless you clean it up every time(no way to automate it)

just a note to nr 4:
Im pretty sure i have seen on these forums a way to auto clean library
trough a script of some kind. Cant remember the details but you might
wanna do some searching. cheers.

Oh dude thanks a lot.Only 3 problems remain

[kruykaze]

I was also looking at http://wiki.xbmc.org/?title=Advancedsett...atching.3E
Is there a way that could be modified to work with : The.Daily.Show.2009.04.06.PDTV.XviD-iHT.[VTV].avi for example?

That would take care of problem 1-

What is that naming convention? is that SS.EE, or EE.SS, that seems very confusing to me as a user, and I suppose you could write a regex for it, but i can see that messing other things up as well... I've never seen source files named like that... it's much better to do SXXEXX imo although I can understand if you don't want to rename ALL of your files

You could Try the following regex:
[\._ \-]([0-9]+)[\.\-]?([0-9]+)([^\\/]*)

or the exact line that would go in the .xml:
<regexp>[\._ \-]([0-9]+)[\.\-]?([0-9]+)([^\\/]*)</regexp> <!-- foo.01.03 -->


Again no guarantees

Thanks FF i found this:

Code:

<tvshowmatching>
        <regexp>Season[\._ ]([0-9]+)[\\/]([0-9]+)[^\\/]*</regexp>
        <regexp>([0-9]+)([0-9][0-9])[^\\/]*</regexp>
        <regexp>Season[\._ ]([0-9]+)([0-9]{2,2}\ [0-9]{2,2}\ [0-9]{4,4})[^\\/]*</regexp>
<tvshowmatching>

I'm gonna try it right away.

Ok according to http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=34485 there's now way to add shows to library by air date and a ticket was submitted.

So far this is what I'm doing:
Classic Aeon (pre stark) + T3ch 12/30/08

Movies:
in library mode (excluding adult folder so it only shows in adult shortcut)
Used sho's tip to autoclean library Thanks again
Tvshows:
In files mode.
Adult:
In files mode (no other way exists)

Result: Library gets updated and cleaned I have Fanart working for everything until some solution is found for stark.
Thanks for everyone that helped


Edit:
I was able to do the same thing with stark! i just hat to edit the tvshow shortcut and leave the movies shortcut as is.
To get custom tvshow fanart working I had to set it up for "videos" instead.Funky but it works so far.
