Advanced Settings - TV Show Matching Not Working

[robelkin]

Hi All,

I just found boxee, and am loving it. I have been using another xbmc spinoff, Plex, and there is the ability in Plex to specify information in the advancedsettings.xml file.

This is grand, I have set up my advancedsettings.xml file, and have managed to get the log level information working, displaying logging information on screen. However, the bit that I am most interested in is the <tvshowmatching> bit.

Here is what I have included in the file:

<tvshowmatching>
<regexp>Season[\._]([09]+)[\\/]Episode[\._]([09]+)[^\\/]*</regexp>
</tvshowmatching>

This is working fine for me in Plex, and both are based on the same application, so this should technically work. So, either the implementation in boxee has changed and this is no longer correct, or it is disabled in boxee.

The above gets the season number and episode number from a structure such as Season 1/Episode 1.m4v.

Can someone shed some light on this, and if it is going to be enabled in the future?

Thanks,

Rob

sorry, but bumpy.

Does anyone have any information or thoughts on this?

Thanks,

this is a feature of xbmc... boxee does not support it.
you have to use this system:

That is a bit disappointing, I thought boxee was based on xbmc and as such would inherit such features.

Is there anywhere I can submit it as a feature request?

Thanks,

some features of xbmc are not supported, others are disabled by intention.

boxee's media recognition system is very different from xbmc's, in order to facilitate boxee's social functionality.
