Check out this topic for more details on various types of naming conventions supported. Earlier in the BETA version MCEBuddy did process some unsymmterical names but it was causing an issue for some shows which really have a - or a special character at the beginning of the title or end of the show name. Hence we enforced the symmetry requirements since most recording software use symmetry in their naming conventions.
MCEBuddy can extract metadata in many ways from a file, summarizing the sequence:
Extract from WTV and DVRMS file using Windows DirectShow filters (see this thread on how to install the filters in Windows Servers )
Extract from containers that support metadata like MP4, MKV, M4V, AVI, MP3, TS and WMV
Extract from proprietary recording software containers like TiVO, PlayLater, SiliconDust DVR
Extract using supporting metadata files like XML, NFO and PROPERTIES from Media Portal, nPVR,…
See specifically point 5:
Currently it supports the following formats:
SHOWNAME_AIRDATE_AIRTIME.<ext> where AIRDATE is in YYYYMMDD format and AIRTIME is in HHMMHHMM (Start and End) format ( AIRTIME is optional)MOVIE_IMDBID.<ext> or SHOWNAME_IMDBID.<ext> where IMDBID is the imdb id for the Movie or Episode (Showname taken from title)MOVIE (YEAR).<ext> where YEAR is the year in which the Movie was releasedSHOWNAME.SxxEyy.SUBTITLE.<ext> where SUBTITLE is the Episode name of the Season xx Episode yy of the Show. The dot can be substituted with a space, dash or any character (MCEBuddy will ignore it).SHOWNAME.XXxYY.SUBTITLE.<ext> where SUBTITLE is the Episode name of the Season XX Episode YY of the Show. The dot can be substituted with a space, dash or any character and there may or may not be a space before and after the Season ( XX ) and Episodes ( YY ) and MCEBuddy will ignore it.
