Problem with series 24 and missing check

When running a missing check against the series 24, it flags all seasons as missing episode 24. I think the program is not seeing the 1x24 as the episode number, but as the title?

It tries to be smart and tell the difference between the show name and the episode number, particularly when the show name has a number somewhere in it.

What is an example of the full filename of a 1x24 episode its not picking up correctly? Is it "24 - 1x24 - blah" or "1x24 - Blah" ?

The ones I am having the issues with are named "1x24 - Episode".

Thanks

Programs with numbers in their names are a pain, doubly so if they look like episode numbers.

There's some code that tries to be smart about it all. If the show is called '24' and there's a '24' in the filename, then it ignores the first '24' it sees. The idea is to avoid accidentally picking up that number as a season or episode number. Seems that it's not smart enough :)

I think I know how I can fix it without breaking anything else, so when I put the next version up (maybe this weekend), I should have it fixed.

If you rename the file to "24 - 1x24 - Episode", it'll work fine. If you prefer to not have the show name at the start, then you'll have to put up with them showing as missing until I fix it.

I understand the problem. I don't mind waiting on a fix. I am excited that you are involved and actively deceloping the software. Furthermore you are very resonsive to users, and helping them.

Thanks again for the great program and support.

This problem seems to have reared it's ugly head again as of 2.1.0b6, and I tried b7, but still happens.

I saw there were changes is b6 to fix other instances of this problem, but those seem to have affected this again.

Thanks

Argh!

I think I've fixed (unbroken) it again, give the next version (b8) a try, which I'll upload tonight or tomorrow.
