How to organize my tv series files - oferc999 - 2012-07-29

Hi,

I am trying to move to xbmc eden (using aoen MQ3 skin) from windows media center

I succeeded to organize most of my tv series and movies (by adding regExp to advancedsettings.xml)

I have problem with some series, for example Tom and Jerry
my folder structure is:
Tv series (folder)
Tom and Jerry Tales (folder)
---Tom Jerry Tales Vol01 (folder)
------Tom and Jerry Tales Vol1.avi (file)
---Tom Jerry Tales Vol02 (folder)
------Tom and Jerry Tales Vol2.avi (file)
---Tom Jerry Tales Vol03 (folder)
------Tom and Jerry Tales Vol3.avi (file)

XBMC does not recognize these files
how should I organize my files to force xbmc show it as tv series?

Only this file, each file as its own directory (this is how it's work In windows media center)
Actually each folder contain also folder.jpg
I don,t care about the video metadata

I don't care to reorder my files structure and to put all the files from the same series under the same directory.

I just don't want start renaming all my files
