Guest Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 (edited) Hello, https://emby.media/support/articles/Movie-Naming.html#split-video-files-file-stacking Current behaviour: When there are 4 or 5 parts, the last one becomes the starting point for the movie instead of part 1 for some reason. (see attached) Naming scheme: MovieTitle (YYYY)\MovieTitle (YYYY) part1 MovieTitle (YYYY)\MovieTitle (YYYY) part2 MovieTitle (YYYY)\MovieTitle (YYYY) part3 MovieTitle (YYYY)\MovieTitle (YYYY) part4 Tried A B C D instead of numerals and part B was assigned as the starting point instead of part A. 3 or 2-part titles work as expected. More than 5 not tested. Edited March 22 by trance_planet Formatting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gilgamesh_48 943 Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 I never have that problem but I only think I have maybe two multipart files in my library. I would have a number more but i use any one of several tools combine the separate files into one. I do not really like looking at my library and seeing a bunch of files that are incomplete of themselves. Combining the multi part files into just one file makes sense to me.

There is a reason I keep this title split into parts in my library. Combining them would be a workaround but I'm rather trying to understand the behaviour or have the bug fixed if it is one. Thanks for your input. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy2Play 8292 Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 Not sure then as using exactly what you posted above, I get the same results in 4.8.3.0 and 4.9.0.11. First part is primary item. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have and makes no different for actual media extension (mp4, mkv, strm, disc) will do the same thing. I even removed all parts except part4 so the server saw it as primary then added 1-3 and 1 was picked up as primary again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll prepare another set of test files and try this again. Another head-scratcher to start the weekend, how lovely. I appreciate the assistance.
