About this regex

Parses TV series filenames to extract the show name, an optional air year, and season/episode numbers. It recognizes common episode notations such as S01E02, 1x02, and the 3-4 digit 0102 form, while skipping resolution/codec markers like 720p, 1080p, 264, and 265 via a negative lookahead. Uses named capture groups (ShowNameA/B, Season, Episode, ShowYear) making it ideal for media library tools that rename or organize episode files.
