[testing] Better play episode selection for episodes on ISO
#1
I've been looking at how episodes are played when they are in an ISO (and I assume BDMV folder as well).

Currently you are asked to select from a list of titles - these are presented in no particular order and (by default) only show those with length 70%+ of the longest.

So, for example, on The Last of Us (UHD Disc 1) - if I try and play episode 2 (disc 1 contains episodes 1 and 2), I get the following:

Image

This demonstrates a number of issues:
1) No clear idea what titles 801 and 851 contain - they actually are both episode 1 (despite us asking to play episode 2)
2) No idea what languages are associated with each title (801 = episode 1 european languages, 851 = episode 1 japanese)

I've updated the code - so now when I select episode 2 I get the following:

Image

This obviously will vary for different discs - So if you have bluray ISO/BDMV episodes I'd be grateful if people can test and report back.

If it works, great. Please let me know here.

If it doesn't work then please look in the *DEBUG* log for the following section (just search for ***)

Code:

Hi @powellandy

I've moved your thread into the Development section of the forum.

Looks like a great feature.

Have you submitted a PR to Kodi github? It might be an idea to get feedback on coding from the developers also, but they won't look at it until a PR has been submitted.
Ignore, I was pointed to your PR... https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/pull/24178

Also, some hints on the editors bar. Button 24 for code...
