No, it is correct for S01E01 http://www.thetvdb.com/?tab=season&serie...5940&lid=7

I guess my point was in here:

Code:

<Video ratingKey="11427" key="/library/metadata/11427" type="episode" title="Pilot" summary="Brilliant physicist roommates Leonard and Sheldon meet their new neighbor Penny, who begins showing them that as much as they know about science, they know little about actual living." index="1" rating="7.7" year="2007" thumb="/library/metadata/11427/thumb?t=1321851696" duration="1345000" originallyAvailableAt="2007-09-24" addedAt="1320263516" updatedAt="1321851696"><Media id="21575" duration="1345000" bitrate="1132" width="624" height="352" aspectRatio="1.78" audioChannels="2" audioCodec="aac" videoCodec="h264" videoResolution="sd" container="mov" videoFrameRate="24p" optimizedForStreaming="0"><Part key="/library/parts/21577/file.mp4" duration="1345000" file="\\aragorn\recorded tv\The.Big.Bang.Theory\S01\The.Big.Bang.Theory.S01E01 - Pilot.mp4" size="195599636"/></Media><Writer tag="Chuck Lorre"/><Writer tag="Bill Prady"/><Director tag="James Burrows"/></Video>

There's no "nice" season descriptor. You have to cobble it together from the video Index and if you want the season number as well, grab the parent.

Not really an issue when you're navigating from Show/Season/Episodes....but when looking at something like Recently Added where they're not categorised by the show name, it gets more difficult.

Eg:

Code:

<Video ratingKey="21248" key="/library/metadata/21248" type="episode" title="Stolen Show, Stolen Hearts, Stolen Motorcycles" grandparentKey="/library/metadata/11722" grandparentTitle="The Real World" summary="" index="8" parentIndex="26" rating="7" year="2011" thumb="/library/metadata/21248/thumb?t=1321851770" art="/library/metadata/11722/art?t=1321851772" grandparentThumb="/library/metadata/11722/thumb?t=1321851772" duration="2485000" originallyAvailableAt="2011-11-16" addedAt="1321851359" updatedAt="1321851770"><Media id="21985" duration="2485000" bitrate="1153" width="624" height="352" aspectRatio="1.78" audioChannels="2" audioCodec="mp3" videoCodec="mpeg4" videoResolution="sd" container="avi" videoFrameRate="24p" optimizedForStreaming="0"><Part key="/library/parts/21987/file.avi" duration="2485000" file="\\aragorn\recorded tv\The.Real.World\S26\The.Real.World.S26E08.avi" size="366999552"/></Media></Video>

This one tells you it's episode 8 in it's index field...but there's no reference to the season..Oh actually I've just seen it, "parentIndex=26"

There's no "nice" season descriptor. You have to cobble it together from the video Index and if you want the season number as well, grab the parent.

Actually because of the rigid filename rules, it is trivial to extract the season and episode from the "file" attribute using regular expressions from advancedsettings.xml

Code:

<tvshowmatching>
    <regexp>\[[Ss]([0-9]+)\]_\[[Ee]([0-9]+)([^\\/]*)</regexp>  <!-- foo_[s01]_[e01] -->
    <regexp>[\._ \-]([0-9]+)x([0-9]+)([^\\/]*)</regexp>  <!-- foo.1x09 -->
    <regexp>[\._ \-][Ss]([0-9]+)[\.\-]?[Ee]([0-9]+)([^\\/]*)</regexp>  <!-- foo, s01e01, foo.s01.e01, foo.s01-e01 -->
    <regexp>[\._ \-]([0-9]+)([0-9][0-9])([\._ \-][^\\/]*)</regexp>  <!-- foo.103 -->
  </tvshowmatching>

Martin.....I've given up on trying to get art & episode info. for my NPVR recordings in Plex. I fiddled with imagegrab and guideplus but
I'm too dense to figure out how to use them. Meanwhile, I'll hope that someone creates a renamer/guide enhancer with a GUI or an
NPVR app for Samsung SmartTVs.

Even without the art & descriptions, my HD NPVR recordings play great in Plex. I especially like the ability to ff/rew/resume which
Samsung Smarthub doesn't do natively.

For imageGrab, in PostProcessing.bat you just need the line

"C:\Program Files\NPVR\imageGrabLite.exe" --oid %3 --rename

Yes hd1080 done a good job, and I'm looking forward to improvements, especially getting resume working. It's hard to beat the price.

Thanks Martin. Didn't think it would be that easy. I thought I needed to add all kinds of parameters. Ran a test with imageGrabLite last night. PMS was able to identify the recording from the renamed files. All of the art, posters, and descriptions now appear in Plex for Samsung. Great!
