[helloWorld2]

Hello Karellen,

Thank you for the help.

I want to use the alternate naming conventions in post #1.
What I have been doing wrong is that I didn't copy and paste the tvshowmatching regexp from post #1 in the advancedsettings.xml file, instead I use the tvshowmatching regexp from the Wiki page http://kodi.wiki/view/Anime .

Here is the logging for reference:

Without the tvshowmathcing regexp from post #1

Anyway, I decided to use brackets for the season.
