TV Show Episodes that are multi-file not stacking? - detroitdr - 2009-06-02 -I'm running 9.04 -Under Settings/Video/General (I have Treat stacked files as single file on) -Under Settings/Video/Library (I have Stack duplicate TV Shows on) I have a Directory called Lazy Town with three files in it Sportacus s01e23 - cd1.avi Sportacus s01e23 - cd2.avi Sportacus s01e23 - cd3.avi XBMC will not stack these files.. it shows I have three Episode 23's. I've tried Sportacus s01e23 -part1.avi .... that didn't work either I've tried Sportacus s01e23 - part1.avi ... same thing. What am I doing wrong? Thank-you in advance. - jmarshall - 2009-06-02 TV episodes do not stack. Reason is that it's a lot harder to ensure that things don't go wrong. It'll be something I'll be remedying with the new video library. - detroitdr - 2009-06-02 Ahhhh.. Thank-you for your reply... I really have been testing and retesting.. changing file names/ structures.... even tried to play with the advancesettings.xml. So I'm glad to see it's not me. OK DUMB question.... when will the new lib be coming out and how do I find out about it? thx again. (you've saved me a lot of extra testing) - jmarshall - 2009-06-02 No ETA on the new library. Your only solutions for multifile episodes in the meantime are: 1. Use files view. 2. Join the files together. 3. Make some code changes to support stacking. Cheers, Jonathan - SantaFox - 2009-11-25 Hi, is there any news with multi-part episodes implementation? For example, TheTVDB decides to show "Broken" in House M.D. as one episode while there is two episodes in iTunes HDTV version... - ashlar - 2009-11-25 Honestly, merging AVIs it's a really simple task, not time consuming. I suggest you go in that direction (don't know about other formats, mkv shouldn't be too hard but I'm not sure). - xexe - 2009-11-25 I would suggest merging is not the direction to go. Requiring thousands of users to merge avi just because the primary scraper tvdb does something one way is not a slick or long term solution. - SantaFox - 2009-11-25 Sure, I think it's practically impossible to join two hi-def episodes in .mkv containers without sound offset and other problems. It's not a solution. I think than auto-joining of two or three files matching some kind of pattern ("-part1, -part2" and so on) is a good temporary solution until new lib would be implemented. - spiff - 2009-11-25 how about you stop downloading retarded files then? - sho - 2009-11-25 You mean Iceland's only contribution to international television? - spiff - 2009-11-25 heh, i didn't point to the content just the file format - sho - 2009-11-25 You would have been in full right though - SantaFox - 2009-11-26 Guys what r u talking about? :-) I always thought .mkv is good... - spiff - 2009-11-26 we're on about splitting eps in several files. - angedelamort - 2010-06-05 So, any news on that? On the wiki it seems it still disabled? http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=TV_Shows_(Video_Library)#Multi-file_Episodes I wouldn't mind doing some code change locally if someone can point me in the right direction. |
