Episode scanning

Episode scanning is done through epinfer to match episodes. Epinfer extracts episode and seasons numbers along with dates and tv show names from the file name. If epinfer fails to extract the correct show name, it will use the name of the directory in which the file is located.

The recommended file layout:

Show name (First aired year)
| - Show name (First aired year) E{episode number}S{season number}.{extension}

For example:

The Flash (2014)
| - The Flash (2014) S1E1.mp4

The year isn't specifically required but can remove confusion between two similarly named shows during identification. If there the show name is unique, then the year can be safely ignored.

Stargate SG-1
| - Stargate SG-1 S1E1.mp4
