Hi,
I recently went through a really long process yesterday of trying to get the TV and Movie scrapers to work (version 9.11), and I thought that some of the tools I used would be useful for the community.
Even though I STILL Can't get the TV Scrapers to work, (though TVRage is somewhat working, I can't get it to retrieve anything other than the show name and episode number.)
Basically I put together some test data which can be used to test your scraper algorithms against.
MY TV Folder/Filename structure always follows the same format:
However, I've included different folder structures to test your algorithms against
Examples:
Here is most of the File-name variations I found in MY testing:
I hope this helps!
Cheers,
WiKiD
