The latest round of bug fixes and enhancements are now complete.

Change Log

1. Fixed a problem with the runtime filter not working correctly in the previous patch
   
2. Added a new type called "generic" to contrast the 3 very specific types previously supported to provide support for content that does not have metadata readily available from sources like TVDB.
   
3. Changed where the forced_series resides in the config XML. You will now find it as an attribute of the sub-folder instead of a child element. (Inheritance now works).
   
4. Changed how the force_series feature is applied. It will now apply to ALL scenarios for that sub-folder.
   

The New Generic Type
This type will scrapes series and title only to build a set of strm files without producing .nfo files (since there is no metadata to write). The streams do not belong in the movies, tv shows, or music videos output folders so they instead write into a folder called "generic" that sits along side the TV Shows folder at the same level. Under that level is a sub-folder named using the parsed series name, then the series and title are both used in naming the written strm file. This works well for content like TED talks, and works even better in conjunction with the parser and force_series features. The reason I developed this was to produce a directory that is populated with strm files that are not scanned into the XBMC library (since they are not movies, music videos, or tv shows). Each resulting series level directory is intended to be made available to PseudoTV as a directory channel for documentary and learning type channels.

Code:

<!-- TED Videos -->
<TED path="plugin://plugin.video.ted.talks" recursive="true" >
    <!-- Newest TED Talks -->
    <subfolder name="Newest Talks" type="generic" suffix=" (TED)" force_series="TED Talks" >
    
        <!--Parse the series name then the title of the episode -->
        <parser>
            <regexp>()([\w\s*'-:]*)</regexp> <!-- ex: Include the entire name "Show Name: Title of the Episode" -->
        </parser>
        
    </subfolder>        
</TED>
