Capitals in filenames

[damonbrodie]

Hi,

I have a bunch of filenames that have capitals in them "MythBusters" which happens to match the way the show is named on thetvdb.com

I checked the logs and when it searches thetvdb, it is searching for Myth+Busters, which is returning no results. I guess BMT is splitting words based on capitals.

I'm trying to figure out how to add a matcher based on the filename (The filenames are named MythBusters sXXeYY.mkv:

<titles>
<match>
<regex>[\\/]MythBusters*</regex>
<title>MythBusters</title>
<metadata type="TV" name="tvdb">73388</metadata>
</match>
</titles>

I think I did this right, but I'm not sure - it still isn't matching.

I have a few questions:

1) If I add to the xml directly, do I have to stop/start anything?
2) If I use the "Add Matcher" button do I just need to signal Sage to go look for media again?

Are there any other steps I am missing to make this matcher work?

The matcher looks fine. But, if you do this manually, you need to make sure the matcher is called MediaTitles.xml and it's in the userdata/Phoenix/scrapers/ directory. And then you need to start/stop the sage tv server.

Using the "Add Matcher" is a better approach, since it will do all that for your. When you add a matcher in this way, you don't need to start/stop the server, but you will need to re-scan other files.

The reason why the mixed case caused an issue is because normal Recordings are mixed case, the searcher needs to "expand" them in order to search. ie, "TheFollowing" needs to become "The Following". And this of course has the side effect of causing issue for names like MythBusters

Thanks for the reply. I did put the matcher in through the UI first, but wasn't sure if I was doing it right. I then found the Mediatitles in userdata/Phoenix/scrapers, and started editing that manually. So it appears I have everything set correctly, but it still isn't matching. does the regex apply to both the directory and the filename? (All my recordings are in a flat directory structure).
