Ah, sorry for the confusion. I believe the regex clean strings have been updated since this thread has started, as I am able to scan in files that start out with a word in brackets. No additional steps should be necessary. Are you still having issues?

still does not trim the front in 13.1. Maybe in the beta? Can you tell me the version you are running? I found some bug trackers and there is some history. I don't really understand how to "separate the enhancements from the bug fixes" (it all seems like a bug to me) but that is apparently what is required to fix it. I think "dragonflight" actually wrote the fixes already, so it might be easy for someone with knowledge to submit it properly.

Thanks

It's been working for my anime since v12, and I can certainly confirm it's working in v13.1 and v13.2beta1, with no special regex needed.

*shrug*

hmm. can you give me an example from your log? what file names are you able to parse? and what scraper are you using? I'm using the anidb scraper. I removed the advancedsettings.xml and I get the same thing.

thanks

I've spun up a vm with the 13.1 release installed, and it definitely does not work out of the box as you described. When I turn debug on, I see it trying to query the file name with the square bracketed info at the beginning, which is the same behavior as the v12 release I was using before. I'm forced to assume you are incorrect here. Definitely not working. I'm starting to take a look at the code, if no one else is interested. Again, if you have some special configuration to get it to work I would love to see it. In the mean time I'll be reading "Practical C++ Programming" to see what I can do. Maybe in 2 or 3 more years I'll be proficient enough to fix it, and I'll re-open this thread?

Alright, I did some more testing:

Episode file: [HorribleSubs] Ping Pong the Animation - EP01 [720p].mkv - scans in just fine. XBMC ignores what is in the bracket, but still picks up the episode number pattern.

TV show directory: [test]Ping Pong or [Ping Pong] - this seems to have the issue described in this thread. XBMC doesn't seem to be seeing any title to do a search for.

Movie file: [Test] Ghostbusters.mkv - no file match, but only because XBMC thinks the movie starts with the word "test", but it still searches with the full title. XBMC does not seem to ignore the text in brackets for movie files. [Ghostbusters].mkv worked as well.

So basically there's still some issue, but just with TV show directories.

[iondream]

Ah, that explains why we were getting seemingly different results. it must handle directories differently in the code. Thanks for taking the time to test, and for clarifying.
