With todays increasing demand on high quality video, some software seperates even tv shows into more than 1 file.
The combined time is displayed when hovering so i'm guessing it's already implemented to a certain extent.

Well that info on the wiki is old at best, but ya anyway you have example on what to ask for.
Thats assuming you have any developers interested in doing this.

Why have them as separate files anyway? Both avi and mkv are easy to stitch a number of files together into one.

I personaly don't like the idea of seperate files but the recording software does, also with increasing file sizes stitching together files is not a matter of possibility or ease but rather time consuming.
Considering the core functionality already seem to be implemented it would seem like this would be a better solution in my opinion

OK, why don't you ask the manufacturer to fix it? There is no need to break up files like that.

It's probably a limitation of the file system it uses? I've seen some devices do that before.
