ok I have one episode in a series that is a wmv file.  I added wmv to the list of extension and it picks up the episode. but I get the following error that seems to be similar to Escaped Lions, but I could not find a solution in all the posts here.

<NeedsUserSelection>true</NeedsUserSelection>
  <Status>There were more than one possible matches for 'Inspector Morse - 04x02 - The Sins of the Fathers'. The user needs to select the correct one.</Status>

Not sure what to do here?  Any suggestions?

Another problem I have is that since adding dvr-ms which I found out I needed to change the [avi|mpg] etc to \.avi\.dvr-ms etc and it seemed to work is that now none of the episodic descitptions work.  Instead I just get the series description for every episode.

I have verified that if I replace this

<add key="ArchivedTVExpression" value="(?:\w*)\\(?&lt;seriesname&gt;.+?)\s-\s(?&lt;seasonnumber&gt;[ 0-9][0-9])x(?&lt;episodenumber&gt;\d{1,3})\s-\s(?&lt;episodename&gt;.+?)\.(?&lt;extension&gt;[avi|mpg|rmvb])" />
   

with this

<add key="ArchivedTVExpression" value="(?:\w*)\\(?&lt;seriesname&gt;.+?)\s-\s(?&lt;seasonnumber&gt;[ 0-9][0-9])x(?&lt;episodenumber&gt;\d{1,3})\s-\s(?&lt;episodename&gt;.+?)\.(?&lt;extension&gt;\.avi\.mpg\.dvr-ms\.wmv])" />

Then all the sub descriptions stop working and you just get the series desc.  If you add dvr-ms inside || then it crashes.

Is this a bug somewhere.  Cos the were working earlier.  Andrew

When you say fixed, did you mean the 1.8 skyfile is now fixed or that a future release will contain a fix for this bug.  Any place to get the new compiled code?

I had posted a couple of questions, but I managed to solve it myself. So I edited my posts ;) wasn't in reply to you

I am having this really weird problem. As soon as I select 'Browse Episodes' the cursor starts jumping around; as if I were rapidly pressing up and down on the remote.


Using the 'Watch Series' option works fine though.

I had the same problem.  If you go back a couple of pages a solution was posted.  You need to make sure that the three xml sections which say none specified are completed and also make sure you have a Season.xml file not a folder.xml file.

Wow, sorry about that. I had started reading the thread from the beginning, but it's quite long so I gave up. Anyway, the solution posted worked! Thanks so much

back from much-needed vacation. I will complete season-folder testing sometime this holiday weekend. To recap, I am fixing it so that it will grab images for newly added season folders. In addition, it will properly default the image size/type/sort.

Many thanks to the people paying it forward with the tech support.

Did you see my post about DVR-MS.  If you add it within | | then the program crashes if you add it with \.DRV-MS then you lose all of the sub title descriptions.

Update:

1. Testing on season folder stuff completed.

2. Multi-threading of metadata downloads is really inefficient and needs optimization. Currently on hold pending more research. The issue priginated when I decided some months back to 'download metadata in the background'.

3. Re-working out-of-the-box regex to greatly increase the first-run experience for new users.

• Match all expressions on Page 1 of this thread (Need more work to include expression for \\SERVER\Heroes\Season 01\01. Genesis.avi.)
• Not care about filetype extension at all.

Glad to see you're among the living ;) It will be nice to see the new version drop. Keep up the great work man.

Hey welcome back man!

Here's my current regex:

<add key="ArchivedTVExpression" value="\\(?&lt;seriesname&gt;.+?)[\. ][sS](?&lt;seasonnumber&gt;\d{1,2})[eExX](?&lt;episodenumber&gt;\d{1,3})[\. ](?&lt;episodename&gt;.+?)(?&lt;extension&gt;\.avi|\.mpg|\.mkv|\.wmv|\.dvr-ms|\.wtv)" />

This is picking up most of the scene formats but I'm still finding some shows where the filenames list episode numbers as 103 or 204 where the 1 and 2 are season numbers and 03 and 04 are episode numbers. I could do a regex that looks for the first number after the space but I don't think it could be rolled into the same regex as the above one, it would have to be part of a collection of regex's in a loop. (Though to be fair, I'm a total n00b with these regex's.)

I'm also getting crashes when a file finishes playing. Definitely caused by the TV Pack. The TV Pack also seems to be affecting TVTonic but that's a post for another forum! Har har.

Any interest on having an entire forum on a different site dedicated to just this plugin? There's like a zillion replies to this one threat and finding useful info at this point has got to be a pain for new people interested in the project.

crashing is due to TV Pack and how it breaks transport-handling. For now, I just log the error and not re-throw the exception. What this means is that sometimes the pause/play/stop may not update the details page as reliably as it did before (thanks, Microsoft, and thanks for not providing any updated docs for the 'play back architectural changes'...ah well)
