Was using XBMC to watch an episode of a TV show when I noticed that the intro was missing completely. Whenever viewing these same files on my laptop using MPC, the intro's played just fine. Very confusing.

I came to find that the Intro was in a completely different file in the same directory, and that the .mkv file was linking to that specific intro file in order to save hard drive space. It was seemless in my laptop configuration, but for the life of me I can't figure out how to enable linked play in XBMC.

All it's doing now is completely skipping the opening and intro to each episode, and I'd prefer to have it play these sequences as they should.

Is there some hidden setting or config where I can enable this?

Suggested long ago. No word from developers though.

Play .mkv's that are 2in1, in XBMC?

Would be cool if you could pick version like subtitles or audio. Or perhaps as suggested initially when starting up the movie.
