Hi all,
I'm new to this, but I've been searching the forums and although I've found similar issues, nothing has been able to help me yet.
I'm sorry if I'm being a complete moron, so bare with me...
OK, up until now I've always stored my movies, music and tv shows in itunes, but I've recently found xbmc and I'm so far finding it sooo much better apart from 1 thing.
My movies have all imported fine, but because itunes changes the file name of tv shows they won't import as it stands unless I go through and change the file name of each one individually.
the file system is currently:
~TV Shows/Flight of the Conchords/1-01 Sally.mp4
~TV Shows/Flight of the Conchords/1-02 Bret Gives Up The Dream.mp4
etc...
After reading the forums I understand I can do this using regular expressions in the advancedsettings.xml which I've tried, but it doesn't seem to be working.
Here's what I've done:
I have a file name "AdvancedSettings.xml" in ~user/Library/Application Support/XBMC/UserData/AdvancedSettings.xml
content:
<advancedsettings>
<tvshowmatching>
<regexp>([0-9]+)([0-9][0-9])[^\\/]*</regexp>
</tvshowmatching>
</advancedsettings>
Any ideas on how I can get this to work, I can't go through every show to change the title of every episode.
Help
