Scan Directory name for Names of movies/tv shows with regex expressions

The best way to go about this is have a conf file that lets a user make there own regex code to tell the scanner to scan the dir name rather then the file name. Example Say I have a folder structure like so
-Californication-S01
--Californication.S01E01.DVDRip.XviD
---xxx-cali101.r00
--Californication.S01E02.DVDRip.XviD
---xxx-cali102.r00

With the above example we have two problems one is yamj cant tell its tv the next is yamj cant tell what tv show it is. If we could make our own regex to do this for us it does not break yamj for the rest of the people

Using this regex

(s[0-9]{1,2}e[0-9]{1,2})|^(xxx|xxxx)-.+[0-9]{2,}.|[0-9]+x[0-9]+..+-xxx|.+.[0-9]{2,}..+-(xxx)|hdtv-xxx|hdtv..+xxxx

in my conf It would match this xxx-cali101.r00 which in turn we can then have yamj say ok the file name matches the regex string Scan the directory name of one up from the file. So it would pull Californication.S01E01.DVDRip.XviD as the name. Which you could pull the name of the show the season and episode to pass on to the scanner. There only becomes a slight problem with this is when you also want to include nfo files with said example. Two options are look for any nfo in the one up directory or match the nfo to the original xxx-cali101.r00
