This is quite an unusual request, I'm asking for a way to name 1 file containing 2 episodes that are not adjacent to eachother For example: S1E01-06 will be episodes 1 THROUGH 6 S1E01+06 will be episodes 1 AND 6 Is that possible?

I'm hosting version 4.4.3.0 of Emby on Ubuntu 20.04.1. I have a multi-episode file that includes the final episode of season 3 and the first episode of season 4, but Emby marks S04E01 of the show as missing. I have tried the naming format included in the screen shot and an officially supported convention ('Star Trek The Next Generation S03x26.S04x01.mp4') listed in the TV Naming guide, but Emby still marks the episode as missing. Does this (or any) version of Emby support multi-episode files that are split between two seasons? If not, is there a way I can manually mark it as present and point it to that file? If not I'll likely just add a symlink to the file and name it as S04E01 so Emby will recognize it as present.

Some shows (eg, Phineas and Ferb) can often be comprised of two episodes per "block" (or ~20 minute episode time frame), and in instances where one chooses to keep those as a single file it would be nice if the Multi-Episode support added a little visual divider/marker when outputting the Overview/Plot so that it was more apparent when the plot of one episode ends, and the plot of the subsequent episode (contained in the same file) begins. My proposal is that we just use the same green dot delimiter as is used to separate Genres: <span class="bulletSeparator">•</span> Above from: https://github.com/MediaBrowser/emby-web-defaultskin/blob/gh-pages/item/item.js#L383 It'll be consistent with the overall look/feel, and no knew styles have to be created. I would have done a Pull Request, but I couldn't see anything in the default skin that impacts this -- I suspect that the Plots are combined on the server and then outputted as a single plot. Oh, actually, it just occurred to me that the plot is being stored as a single plot (in the Overview field) because it is a single file (duh!). Looking at the details of an example it does appear that the Plots are separated by a CRLF, but lately Emby Theater has not been displaying those (I thought, though I could be wrong, that in some earlier testing maybe a few weeks ago I had success with those characters being recognized and outputting as space between lines of text). Regardless of how we get there, it would be nice to have a visual separator (whether CRLF, or something else) for these plots. PS - If this is something you might like to see implemented, be sure to "Like" this top/first post (as well as any subsequent posts in this thread that highlight particular aspects of what you are interested in) -- "Liking" the top/first post helps the Devs to know how much interest there is in a given Feature Request.

Multiple episode media files are not handled by the "Display missing episodes within seasons" display preference. Only the first named episode is recognized and the remaining episodes are flagged missing. Please note the file is named according to Embry specifed conventions for multi-episode media file. Thanks
