Losing my mind with metamasks

[chadwolcott]

ok, I would consider myself reasonably versed with regular expressions as the software my company sells uses them throughout. I can't for the life of me figure this out in the context of Xlobby. I have a media server that contains a couple hundred ripped DVDs using the following structure

Movie Name
..Folder.jpg
.... + AUDIO_TS
.... + VIDEO_TS
....... + VIDEO_TS.IFO/BUP
....... + VTS_0#_#.IFO/BUP/VOB
.... + Stills
.... +Trailer
........ + VIDEO_TS.IFO/BUP
........ + VTS_01_1.IFO/BUP/VOB

The movies import correctly except I want to exclude the Trailer folder from the import function so it doesn't see the trailer VOB file. Additionally, I want to create a trailer DB that has only the trailers for the movies. Unfortunately, Xlobby doesn't treat trailers like stills...which would make life infinitely easier.

I create a template for trailers with the following metamask
\\(?<name>.*)\\Trailer\\video_ts\.ifo

Which to me says look only in the Trailer subdirectory. It doesn't work that way actually, it just imports ALL the video_ts.ifo files. The same thing goes for the movie DB...I try to exclude the Trailer Directory and they all come in too.


HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

it imports everything then is uses the meat masks to extract data from the files it finds. Your trying to do something that it cant do.

Just say I did add support for a "trailer" folder...what would be in it...just ONE video?...because multiple trailers in one folder could pose a problem for storing them in the db.

well, I got the movie db to ignore the trailer ( I think) which is good!

Right now I have 1 video_ts.IFO for the trailer for most, but some have avi's, mpgs, etc...but only 1 trailer per movie. If I could get zoomplayer to recognize a video_ts.trailer file as an IFO file I would just do that as a workaround, but alas...it cannot.

PLEASE, PLEASE add trailer folder support!
