Personal Video Database

The list would be too long

That's why I said "recently". Hopefully you are not being disappointed everytime you watch a movie?

Merely as a way to sort the wheat from the chaff

Okay then I should have titled the thread "Your recent Shaff list". Happy? 

 OK I forgot to add that I scanned the files first, just like you.

NOTE: I restarded PVD between screen 4 and 5

 Here is my list of top (rated) movies. Unfortunately I am far from consistent in rating the movies I watch so of course many are missing.
 I also rarely give 10 and from 7.5 I consider the movie as good, and worth re-watching.

 Rick, just so you know, if I select the series record only, the episodes are not getting updated, I have to select the list of episodes to update these.
 
 Using the method you described earlier (creating the series BEFORE scanning files) should solve this I guess, but I was doing it the other way round, scanning first (which would give me the type of list Happy2k has) then scraping the data from imdb.

 Now when scraping, however, I was not asked to confirm the series name each time, but I guess this is because the series name is on all my files? (Eureka S01E05.avi for example)

 Happy2k, are your files written like this: "S02E05.avi" or with the series name?
 In the imdb plugins settings, you have to tick the "episodes" box and also in the "configure" menu, you need to tick "download episodes".

 OK then while you wait, have a go at these three fantastic ones (according to me of course) from France:

  - La graine et le mulet: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0487419/
   
     Subtitles: http://www.opensubtitles.org/en/search/imdbid-487419/sublanguageid-all

  - Qu'un seul tienne et les autres suivront: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1486815/

     Subtitles: ??

  - De battre mon coeur s'est arrete: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0411270/

     Subtitles: http://www.opensubtitles.org/en/search/imdbid-411270/sublanguageid-all

Enjoy!

 Yes Buah I tried your Avatar example, it suggested to change the file path for the existing Avatar entry. This is not really surprising as no other entry has "avatar" in their title.

 Rick, I never realized that (year) could make a difference... I will try to rename all files and add (year) in their titles. Hopefully it won't mess too many things.

 One question though: I see "find and replace" on the scan preferences window, what does it do exactly? Can it rename filenames?

 Thanks.

  OK thanks for your answers Rick and Buah.
  I guess the only way is the long way...
 
  But just to clarify, and because the results I get are the same with or without Regex's listed, can I assume the program is not using these expressions?
 
  Also, is there not a Regex expression that would try to match ONLY full matching of titles?
  A Regex that would basically not look for an expression within another one, and would only catch the full file name.

  Just for info, I usually add movies by batch of 20-30, so the scan can be a timesaver.
  Unfortunately I also spend a lot of time "ignoring", unticking, changing to "add new movie" (by the way, when you do that, all your previous unticking disappears... frustrating), etc...
  Also my storage drive being on my network, navigating to that path for each movie is very long indeed.

 Here is the result, not good.

 I guess we should wait for Nostra and Rick to help me out hey, unless you have another suggestion?
 I wonder if it's not a Windows setting rather than a PVD one that is preventing these regex's to be used...?

 OK, yes I had noticed the two dots afterwards.
 I have tried your regex and no success.

 HOWEVER, I have removed ALL regexes from the preferences. It gives me exactly the same results... is this possible?
 Can the regex be ignored by some obscure setting that I do not know off?

 OK, after reading the thread you suggested, I see that my situation should be dead simple.
 All my movies are organised like I described earlier:

 Folder name = Movie name
 File name = Movie name.extension

 So I don't understand why the scanner would suggest that the file hair.avi could be the movie "l'ecole de la chair" ?
 Just because "hair" can be found in "chair"?
 How can I tell it to only suggest that "hair" can only be a full title?
 Would you know?
