I have backed up my Seinfeld DVD collection and have named the files according the standard XBMC practice e.g. Seinfeld s05e18.mp4 and Seinfeld s05e19e20.mp4 for multipart episodes. All multipart episodes are two episodes in one file, which is how they are stored on the DVD.
Since this is a DVD backup I use DVD ordering when scraping from TVDB, which works expect for multipart episodes. I will use season 5 as an example. This season has 22 episodes, but the DVD has episodes 19 and 20 as a single file, so there are only 21 files.
Seinfeld s05e01.mp4 (The Mango)
...
Seinfeld s05e18.mp4 (The Fire)
Seinfeld s05e19e20.mp4 (The Raincoats) (multipart episode file)
Seinfeld s05e21.mp4 (The Hamptons)
Seinfeld s05e22.mp4 (The Opposite)
I have numbered the episodes this way because that's how they are listed on the DVD case.
If I import using this numbering scheme, I get the following.
1. The Mango (correct)
...
18. The Fire (correct)
19. The Raincoats(1) (correct)
20. The Hamptons (incorrect - points to episode 19)
21. The Opposite (incorrect - points to episode 20)
22. (missing - not imported)
Looking at the log, I understand this is happening because the regexp matches don't match up with the DVD ordering episode numbers. It works if I rename the episodes to be inline with the DVD ordering, but I then get an incorrect episode count.
Is there any other way to solve this issue without renaming the episodes to be inline with the DVD ordering episode numbers? It also works when using aired date ordering but in that case I still need to rename many files and it defeats the purpose of DVD ordering.
Thanks.
