**Request Type:**
NEW FEATURE
**MCEBuddy Version and Type (32bit or 64bit):**
2.4.7
**Operating System and Type (32bit or 64bit):**
Windows 10 64 Bit
**Summary of the problem or suggestion:**
Add new season and episode detection and conversion method
**Steps to replicate the bug:**
I would like to see files that are in the format of:
‘Show Name’ ‘SeasonxEpisode’ ‘Episode Name’
Example: `CSI 1x1 Best of Times.mp4`
placed in the TV Shows directory with the name of the folder as the ‘Show Name’, the folder beneath is named the ‘Season #’ and the file will be placed in the folder with the season and the episode number appended to it.
Based on my settings, I would like to see this file placed in the following folders:
Folder: CSI
Sub Folder: Season 1
Filename: `CSI - S01E01 - Best Of Times.mp4`
i.e. `CSI\Season 1\CSI - S01E01 - Best Of Times.mp4`
Other examples would be
Original Filename: `Elementary 2x1 Step Nine.mp4`
Folder: Elementary
Sub Folder: Season 2
Filename `Elementary - S02E01 - Step Nine.mp4`
i.e `Elementary\Season 2\Elementary - S02E01 - Step Nine.mp4`
Original Filename: `Elementary 2x22 Paint It Black.mp4`
Folder: Elementary
Sub Folder: Season 2
Filename `Elementary - S02E22 - Paint It Black.mp4`
i.e. `Elementary\Season 2\Elementary - S02E22 - Paint It Black.mp4`
Original Filename: `Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. 3x11 Bouncing Back.mp4`
Folder: Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D
Sub Folder: Season 3
Filename `Elementary - S03E11 - Bouncing Back.mp4`
i.e. `Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D\Season 3\Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. - S03E11 - Bouncing Back.mp4`
Thank you for your consideration. If you have any questions or would like additional examples, please let me know.

Do you think they may be delimiters like `-` or `:` or `_` between the sections instead of just spaces?

There is just spaces between the different fields.

I have run into issues with file name format before also. There is a great tool I use to rename files to mcebuddy compatible formats. It is rule based but has a gui. It makes it a lot easier to rename massive quantities of files. The link is below and it is free.

Added support for extracting metadata from this style of filenames including the ability to handle a few extra whitespaces or characters like dots or dashes
e.g.
`Elementary 2x22 Paint It Black.mp4`
or
`Elementary 2 x 22 Paint It Black.mp4`
or
`Elementary2x22Paint It Black.mp4`
or
`Elementary.2.x.22.Paint It Black.mp4`
or
`Elementary_2x22_Paint It Black.mp4`
It will be patched in 2.4.7 BETA build dated 2017/7/4 and later
