Kodi - Play TV Episode by season number from Episode list

[Mace]

Here's a few commands to play a TV Episode by episode number from the TV Show->Season->Episode  window

Note: For this to work on all TV Shows you will need to tun off "Flatten TV show seasons" in Kodi.
Settings -> Video -> Library, change 'Flatten TV show seasons' to 'Never'. This stops Kodi displaying TV shows that only have 1 season differently to other multi season shows. The way Kodi reads these windows is different and screws up the command.

Big thanks to James for the inspiration: http://voxcommando.com/forum/index.php?topic=2059.0

How does it all work?
Everything runs from one single command "Play Episode {1}"
The other two commands will run depending on the outcome of "Play Episode {1}" command.
For this to work you need to be either watching a TV episode or viewing the episode list from the TV Show->Season.

Why bother?
1. Cause it's fun to learn all the cool stuff VC can do
2. Help others learn about how awesome Regular Expression is.
3. Cause it's nice to look at the screen and say "Play Episode 6"
4. ok, so on some systems it might be a little CPU Hungry.

I'd like to put them all in one command but it will be rather large and there's not quite the logic i need to use the error support.

If you see any improvements feel free to comment.

Thanks Mace (and James)
I've actually wanted something like this a while. Played with one very briefly last night and seemed to do the trick.
