Help with MediaTitles.xml

[Phydeaux]

I'm trying to use MediaTitles.xml as per the documentation and have placed a copy of the sample in the correct location and removed the "sample" from the filename. I see it already contains an entry for Hawaii Five-0 (2010) so I assumed it would work for my Hawaii Five-0 media. Nope. My media is like this:

Hawaii Five-O (2010)

Season 01

Hawaii Five-0 S01E01.mkv

Hawaii Five-0 S01E02.mkv

Hawaii Five-0 S01E03.mkv

etc...

Season 02

Any idea why the default settings in the supplied sample file wouldn't work? And, yes, I did reload the MediaTitles.xml file from the BMT web interface.

Thanks,
RLW

The matcher

    <match>
        <regex>[\\/]HawaiiFive0-.*</regex>
        <title>Hawaii Five-0</title>
        <year>2010</year>
        <metadata type="tv" name="tvdb">164541</metadata>
    </match>

Is used to match filenames like HawaiiFive0-, which is a sage recording... and your filenames (from what you posted) don't match that.

You might need something like...

    <match>
        <regex>[\\/]Hawaii Five-O.*</regex>
        <title>Hawaii Five-0</title>
        <year>2010</year>
        <metadata type="tv" name="tvdb">164541</metadata>
    </match>

Which would then match on your Directory name or Filename.

Thanks Sean. Now I feel foolish - that's a pretty simple, and obvious, fix.

So in order to match my imported Hawaii Five-0 data I create a new entry as you suggested, but leave the existing entry alone for any future recordings of that show, correct?

Yeah, it won't hurt having the extra one there, especially if you are recording those shows.
