Scraping by E Nr?
#1
Hi,

is there a way to scrape an episode by its no?
So in the episodes title stands 322-xx and not S03E22-xx?
And to scrape an episode that has only one season like E10-xx without an S?

MfG

Hi pythonimus,

I believe it's possible directly through XBMC's parsers, why don't you give it a try so you know? Experimentation is the best teacher Smile

If it does not work, then I would recommend a dedicated 3rd party media manager like the awarded EmberMM, really powerful tool that can save a lot of time by renaming and keeping a clean structure your movies/tv shows automatically,

Either way Ember's wiki is a great source to have a lot of answers on naming conventions and coherent file structures for scrapping, cf. http://embermm.com/projects/embermm/wiki and so is XBMC's wiki cf. http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=HOW...sh_install

good luck!

1. no, it dont work with xbmc and thetvdb's scraper
2. it seems that embermm is only for windows

Hm i found the answer:

http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=TV_...Library%29 Wrote:The defaults will match the following structures/file name formats
foo.s01e01.*
foo.s01.e01.*
foo.s01_e01.*
foo_[s01]_[e01]_*
foo.1x01.*
foo.101.*

Theres no function for the episodes no...

MythBusters Episode 105.avi is then Mythbusters S01E05 and not the right S06E07...... confusing scraper

sure it does, you just need to add the appropriate regexp's, and possibly tick the 'absolute ordering' in the scraper settings.

Perhaps this does belong in the wiki, are special regexps a must?

Doesn't work for me... (Series = detektiv conan (d) Thetvdb.com and the absolute numbering function) if i turn the absolute numbering option on the scraper finds nothing not the absolute numbers nor the E08S06 things - nothing -

you must setup for every series of episodes own regular expressions and converting rules by your own? its easier to rename the files >_>

and somehow i dont get it you make somwhere a regular expression for one series and one season? so you must say it that 288-355 is one season or what?

why it cant find by default the one and number in the episodes name and search the episodes name (in thetvdb)?

This worked for me, both for band of brothers that had no season and all the topaz-releases with annoying naming.

Doesn't work for me. Path structure:

Detektiv Conan/Season 4/Detektiv Conan - 267 Alibi.aus.dem.Wald.avi

Is there a way to add those episodes manually? to say Detektiv Conan - 267 Alibi.aus.dem.Wald.avi = S04E14 ?
