Hi gang.
This is strictly not a xbmc problem more of "I can't figure out how to resolve my issue".
Years ago I created some home movies. Well actually not me but our family was creating its own soap opera series for fun (don't ask me why I was an innocent 10 year old pawn at the time, got kidnapped in the 2nd episode and was never seen again!)
So each episode was converted from vhs to avi donkeys years ago but for some reason they are spilt into 10 min segments whereas I suppose you could say an "episode" = 1hr.
I've labelled the files and created relevant nfo files (ember)
So for instance my tv show/folder structure looks like this:
All TV shows(folder)
HomeTVShow1(folder)
HomeTVShow1 CD1.tbn
HomeTVShow1 CD1.nfo
HomeTVShow1 CD1.avi
HomeTVShow1 CD2.avi
HomeTVShow1 CD3.avi
HomeTVShow2(folder)
HomeTVShow2 CD1.tbn
HomeTVShow2 CD1.nfo
HomeTVShow2 CD1.avi
HomeTVShow2 CD2.avi
HomeTVShow2 CD3.avi
Am pretty well versed in setting up folder structures and naming conventions etc but when I place these into the TV Show folder that xbmc looks at the .CD1 file is added and will play but unlike the Movie folder the next file .CD2 will not automatically be picked up to continue the episode.
I know I could join the files together but that's always been a little hit and miss for me with issues like sound sync.
So..is it possible to get xbmc to play .CD1 then .CD2 seemlesly just like in the Movies section?
Cheers all
PS: Why am I doing this? Just thought it would be fun for my family to see themselves "finally" on TV for a giggle...it'll never make it to youtube
