Fix to the XBMC “could not enumerate file” error


Usually, this happens with files being loaded into the library don’t have the required regular expression pattern that XBMC is looking for, when it loads files into the library. That regular expression is usually in the form of anything_s01e02 for example (season number, and episode number). When this occurs, you may still view the episodes but you have to go through the “Files” way of viewing it; not through your TV’s library (like the other TV episodes themselves).

After going through XBMC wiki’s page regarding “Naming video files/TV shows,” here’s the NzbDrone settings that I use now to rename my Anime episode files:

nzbdrone-xbmc-filename-friendly-format

For easy copypasta:

  • Standard Episode Format
    Ex. Series_Title_2010.s01e01_Episode_Title_(1)

    {Series_CleanTitle}.s{season:00}e{episode:00}_{Episode_Title}
  • Daily Episode Format
    Ex. Series_Title_2010.2013-10-30_Episode_Title_(1)

    {Series_CleanTitle}.{Air-Date}_{Episode_Title}
  • Anime Episode Format
    Ex. Series_Title_2010.s01e01_Episode_Title_(1)

    {Series_CleanTitle}.s{season:00}e{episode:00}_{Episode_Title}
  • Anime Episode Format
    Ex. Series_Title_2010.s01e01_Episode_Title_(1)

    {Series_CleanTitle}.s{season:00}e{episode:00}_{Episode_Title}
  • Multi-Episode Style = “Extended”
    Ex. Series_Title_2010.s01e01-02_Episode_Title
