Auto-tag/sort tv shows
« on: January 06, 2008, 07:27:13 am »

Hi everyone,
I'd like to know if it's possible to build a view scheme that will sort my tv-show automatically.
Suppose that I drop all of them in the same directory and all I have to sort them is their filename. I'd like to filter them assuming that I know I have only "dexter" and "the office"|"theoffice"|"the_office" series and that season number is labelled "201"|"s2e01"|"s02e01"|"2-01".
Is it possible to handle that with a view scheme?

I tried a 2-panes scheme with:
Show name:
 - Sleeper Cell: [Filename (name)]= ( "sleeper" and "cell" )
 - The Office: [Filename (name)]="office"
Season #:
 - Season 1: [Filename (name)]= ( "s01" or "s1" or "1x" )
 - Season 2: [Filename (name)]= ( "s02" or "s2" or "2x" )
 - etc

any better idea?

Just so I understand this correctly, there isn't a standard naming structure at work here?  Each of the elements in the file name could be different, like the season count or the episode count.

The only thing I can think of that might speed things up is to sort it by file creation date, which might bring them into somewhat sequential order.

You're right: there can be several different naming structures.
