TV Show REGEX Question
#1
Hello,

Currently I am running XBMC Live in combination with rtorrent in the background. I have a script running to automatically download the torrents of specified TV shows. These downloads go to a folder called /media/External/Downloaded. This folder contains all 'scene releases' in their original RAR'd format. For example:

/Downloaded/Community.S01E07.Introduction.to.Statistics.HDTV.XviD-FQM/community.s01e07.hdtv.xvid-fqm.rar

However, I have multiple shows in this 'Downloaded' folder. Here is a condensed version of my directory tree:

Code:
|-- Downloaded
|   |-- Community.S01E07.Introduction.to.Statistics.HDTV.XviD-FQM
|   |   |-- community.s01e07.hdtv.xvid-fqm.r00
|   |   |-- community.s01e07.hdtv.xvid-fqm.r01
|   |   |-- community.s01e07.hdtv.xvid-fqm.r02
|   |   |-- community.s01e07.hdtv.xvid-fqm.r03
|   |   |-- community.s01e07.hdtv.xvid-fqm.r04
|   |   |-- community.s01e07.hdtv.xvid-fqm.r05
|   |   |-- community.s01e07.hdtv.xvid-fqm.r06
|   |   |-- community.s01e07.hdtv.xvid-fqm.r07
|   |   |-- community.s01e07.hdtv.xvid-fqm.r08
|   |   |-- community.s01e07.hdtv.xvid-fqm.rar
|   |   |-- community.s01e07.hdtv.xvid-fqm.sfv

As you can see I have two shows, Community and FlashForward, in this directory. (I have many more shows and episodes. I just condensed the tree to make it easier to look at.) Each episode has its own folder with the RAR archives inside. This setup currently does not scrape. It doesn't add any thing in the 'Downloaded' directory to the library, which brings me to the following questions:

Do I have to have a directory setup like /Community/Season 1/Episode1.avi ? Is there any way to get my above setup to scrape? Perhaps through regexp in advancedsettings?

I realize I could just reorganize my folder structure to something like /Show Name/Season #/Show.Name.s01e02.avi. I could group those shows in their own folders but I can't automate my torrent client to download to specific folders based on the torrent name. The whole goal of my setup is to have it work without me having to manage anything.

Any ideas or suggestions?

You need each show in a folder (we get the showname from the folder), yes.
Always read the XBMC online-manual, FAQ and search the forum before posting.
Do not e-mail XBMC-Team members directly asking for support. Read/follow the forum rules.
For troubleshooting and bug reporting please make sure you read this first.
