Seperate TV series by resolution

[arrbee99 1712]

In connection with this

thought I'd make a feature request.

So, please allow TV series to be displayed separately if you have, say both 1080 and 4K versions, similar to Movies.

More difficult than for Movies I guess, but if you don't ask...

You can't separate TV shows by resolution as they're not items that can have any resolution: they're collection of items (episodes) that can be of various resolutions, even within same season, let alone across multiple ones; the only way to achieve your desired results would be to have them in separate folders and disable library option to Automatically merge series that are spread across multiple folders.

I live in hope it may be possible somehow.

I presume I could simply have two folders - Chernobyl and Chernobyl (4K) and a switch in Emby to ignore or not ignore the presence of 4K in the title.

- or something like that.

You can already do this I believe.  Just put them in separate folders (or even libraries) and tell Emby not to merge series across folders.  Then just edit the name in the metadata.

Think I tried that already using the option in TV library but it didn't do anything. Maybe I'll try again.

I though I'd try Split Versions Apart which works but only for individual episodes, so one at a time.

Do you know if there's an option somewhere to join them up again anywhere, can't spot one at the moment...

What was it?

I separated two versions of an episode and to join them back I was just looking directly at the two episodes and clicking on them looking for some kind of rejoin option in a drop down list, or clicking on both and clicking looking for rejoin options -

and not even noticing at the top (cause I'm blind apparently)  the x2 / multi-select bar when it does have rejoin (or 'Group Versions') option
