Full Version: Just can't get my head around these scrapers

So here are two of my many examples of the unlogical workings of the TVDB scraper. I'm running XBMC 11 "Eden" Beta 2 and...

--1--

I've got a directory named "Transformers" with the following contents:
Code:
Transformers.S1E01.More_Than_Meets_the_Eye_(Part_1).avi
Transformers.S1E02.More_Than_Meets_the_Eye_(Part_2).avi
Transformers.S1E03.More_Than_Meets_the_Eye_(Part_3).avi
Transformers.S1E04.Transport_to_Oblivion.avi
Transformers.S1E05.Roll_For_It.avi
Transformers.S1E06.Divide_and_Conquer.avi
Transformers.S1E07.S.O.S._Dinobots.avi
Transformers.S1E08-09-10.The_Ultimate_Doom_(Parts_1,_2_and_3).avi
Transformers.S1E11.War_of_the_Dinobots.avi
Transformers.S1E13.Fire_in_the_Sky.avi
Transformers.S1E15.Fire_on_the_Mountain.avi


My 'advancedsettings.xml' contains these <tvshowmatching> entries:
Code:
<regexp>[/\._ \-]([0-9]+)</regexp>
<regexp>[\\/].*[sS]([0-9]+) [eE]([0-9]+)</regexp>

XBMC detects and adds to the library episodes 1, 2, 3 and 9 !?

No matter whether I remove, re-add or update the directory, it's always just these episodes. What happened to the logic?

I've tried renaming the files to different schemes and the closest I've got is all files detected, but the triple part file (E08-09-10) was only detected as episode 9.

I've got a directory named "2 Stupid Dogs" and within it are two other directories; "Season 1" and "Season 2". Within those directories I have lots of files named in the following scheme:
Code:
#x##. [NAME].avi
[i]i.e: 1x04. Home is Where Your Head Is.avi[/i]


XBMC detects all episodes, but names them all after episode 2, "Where's the bone". Anyone know why?

Thanks.
As far as i can tell you don't need reg-ex for those filenamings for transformers.
I have them like that without problems.
Try naming the multipart like this:
......S1E08E09E10......
