Following is the File Scanner section of a default configuration. You can use this to replace the necessary lines (probably just the RegExp= line) of the pvdconf.ini file in your Application Data folder.

I suggest you read the topic patch provided a link to. Even if someone provides you with a regex that works for this particular filename pattern, it won't help much if you use different a different pattern for other series. You're going to have to decide how your files are going to be named, and then provide a set of regex that will work with that. The filenames don't have to be perfectly consistent, just consistent enough for the regex you provide.

This expression should work:

--- Code: ---(?i)^.*\\(?P<origtitle>.*)\.S(?P<season>[0-9]{1,3})\.E(?P<episode>[0-9]{1,3})_\[(?P<eptitle>.*)\]\..*
--- End code ---

rick.ca:

--- Code: ---(?i)^.*\\(?P<origtitle>.*)\.S(?P<season>[0-9]{1,3})\.E(?P<episode>[0-9]{1,3})_\[(?P<eptitle>.*)\]\..*
--- End code ---

Mere mortals have to think about what such things mean. Here's my stab at it:

(?i) - case insensitive mode
^.*\\ - from the beginning of the string, match any character any number of times until "\"
(?P<origtitle>.*)\.S - match any character until ".S" and save it as <origtitle>
(?P<season>[0-9]{1,3})\.E - match a 1-3 digit number before ".E" and save it as <season>
(?P<episode>[0-9]{1,3})_\[ - match a 1-3 digit number before "_[" and save it as <episode>
(?P<eptitle>.*)\]\..* - match any character until "]." and save it as <eptitle>

That seems to make sense, except for the ^.*\\. Isn't that going to match the whole pathname up to the ".E" in the filename?

This is a good example of how a regex might be added to handle a particular form of filename, but will only work for that particular form. It's much more powerful and convenient to use a simpler file naming convention like <origtitle> S00 E00 <eptitle>.avi. Then everything can be recognized properly just by one regex finding the "S00 E00" part.

OK, Rick. You are a better teacher than me anyway  ;)

No, why should it? It will match C:\Users\Administrator\Documents\Torrenting\Completed\Video\TV\Burn Notice\Season 3\
