Matching TV shows with only Series/Episode name

[evilpenguin]

Hey Sean,

Here's an XML file that handles it, provided you use the -- notation and the file has an extention...

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!-- 
   TV Filename Scraper.  Used to scrape shows with the format Show - Episode
-->
<scraper name="title-show-episode" content="filename" thumb="thumb.png">
	<!-- 	input: 		$1=complete file uri -->
	<!-- 	returns: 	series name -->
	<GetShowName dest="3">
		<RegExp input="$$1" output="\1" dest="3">
			<expression>.*[/\\]([^/\\-]+)--([^/\\]+)\.[a-zA-Z0-9]+$</expression>
		</RegExp>
	</GetShowName>

	<!-- 	input: 		$1=complete file uri -->
	<!-- 	returns: 	Episode Title -->
	<GetEpisodeTitle dest="3">
		<RegExp input="$$1" output="\2" dest="3">
			<expression>.*[/\\]([^/\\-]+)--([^/\\]+)\.[a-zA-Z0-9]+$</expression>
		</RegExp>
	</GetEpisodeTitle>
</scraper>

Been working great for me.

Sorry to jump in and possibly go off topic a bit on this thread, but I am looking to start up my Sage system again, and in doing so, I want to import into it recordings from my Tivo Premiere. By using kmttg to grab the recordings from the Tivo, I can process them and rename them at will. Am I following this thread correctly that if I can get the files into named something like "Stargate Universe--Resurgence (Part 1)" that BMT will (with the proper scraper) pull in appropriate metadata (does it get images too?) and these imports would auto-magically find their way into my import directories or tv recordings?

I'm sorry for the newbie type question, I just never got the whole BMT thing going on my old Sage setup, and want to make sure I can populate my Tivo recordings into sage with metadata/graphics.

They always come back.

Short answer is yes. Best way to rename them is with Season and Episode info. (SxxExx) The more info the better chance for a match. And with the correct settings in BMT it will import them into TV Recordings.
