Hi guys,
i tried following the guide on the wiki but it doesnt seem to be working? Dont know what im doing wrong with the advancedsettings.xml?
Basicly i am trying to get XBMC to pick up the following file format for a TV show but it doesnt work!
Scrubs/Season 1/Episode 1 - Pilot.avi
Any help would be great, cheers!

Make it yourself easy and name it:
Scrubs/Season 1/S01E01 - Pilot.avi
yes seriously? i wouldnt have asked if it wasnt causing me an issue!
i think im missing something, is it as simple as creating a file advancedsettings.xml and inserting
<advancedsettings>
<tvshowmatching>
<regexp>Season ([0-9]+) - Episode ([0-9]+)[^\\/]*</regexp>
</tvshowmatching>
</advancedsettings>
or am i totally missing something, not familiar with any form of coding and the above doesnt work?

Trying to shortcut here theres like 5 different complete shows i have formatted like this
see, now we have some information...
your expression does not at all match your wanted filenames.
try
Code:
Season ([0-9]+)[\\/]Episode ([0-9]+)[^\\/]*$
your pattern would match stuff like
Season 1 - Episode 5.avi
right so i have the advancedsettings.xml file in
Users/Craig McCall/AppData/XBMC/userdata
It reads exactly as follows
<advancedsettings>
<tvshowmatching>
<regexp>Season ([0-9]+)[\\/]Episode ([0-9]+)[^\\/]*$</regexp>
</tvshowmatching>
</advancedsettings>
and the exact file path im trying to pick up for example is
Scrubs/Season 1/Episode 1 - Pilot.avi
still no joy
are you sure you're sticking it in the correct location? cause i just tested and it worked just fine..
also a debug log will reveal these issues most likely. please show us one, i'm about done dragging information out of you to help
problem solved, it had picked up the tv show but no episodes so i removed it from the library and then restarted xbmc, seems to be scraping them now, cheers for the help
