pgh1949 2 Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 I've been ripping some of my DVD's onto my new NAS and have encountered a strange "quirk". I have the Lord of the Rings set consisting of three separate films, each on 2 DVD's. I ripped them with titles such as LOTR_RETURN_OF_THE_KING_D1.m4v and LOTR_RETURN_OF_THE_KING_D2.m4v After a Library Scan the three films appeared but only one of each pair of titles showed up in both the Library and the Metadata manager. All the files were certainly there on the NAS. After much tearing of what little hair I have, I finally managed to get both title to show up by renaming one of the files in each pair to something completely different e.g. Return_D2.m4v Am I doing something wrong or must I always "fudge" things in this way?

Luke 36881 Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 Sounds like they were being recognized as a multi-part movie which is normal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pgh1949 2 Posted February 10, 2016 Author Share Posted February 10, 2016 Ahhh! It's obviously clever than I realised. So just to be clear, if I have a DVD split over two disks and I rip them with similar names, then Emby will treat them as one movie and play them one after the other without me having to select them? Thanks again for your very useful help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 36881 Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 Well truthfully, not every Emby app has implemented multi-part playback, so you will achieve best results by joining them. If you can't do that then you need to decide between allowing them to group together and waiting for app support, or separating them for now.
