MediaElch TV show episode management

[agh1467]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. MediaElch doesn't see episodes.

Describe the solution you'd like MediaElch to see episodes.

Describe alternatives you've considered Tell MediaElch which episodes are which.

Additional context Consider TV show files which have a variety of naming conventions. These conventions don't match for the existing hard-coded regex patterns defined in TvShowFileSearcher.cpp. There are a couple of issues that appear as a result.

1. MediaElch sees the TV show, but lists 0 episodes, and says nothing about what it found. Nothing in the logs, nothing in the debug log. No information about what's going on, or why it detected a TV show but found no episodes for that TV show.
2. MediaElch appears to offer no means of expanding the regex patterns to allow additional matching capabilities for obscure, or one-off names. So it's impossible to manage this TV show with MediaElch.

My personal preference would to be the "alternative" listed above and not rely on regex patterns at all, and just tell MediaElch which files are which episodes. So when it finds an mkv, or an avi, but can't figure out if it's an episode, the user could just tell it which episode it is. This information is stored in the nfo for each video file, so it probably isn't necessary. The real alternative is then jumping through hoops with regex until everything matches correctly. This could mean writing a regex just for a single TV show.

I'd like to see an option on the right click menu for a TV show that opens a dialog where it shows all video files for that TV show/season, and then allows mapping each of those files to a given episode that it gleaned from a scrape.

Thank you for opening this feature request. Indeed, MediaElch should improve its file handling.
