DrDrrae 1 Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 I checked the TV naming wiki pages and I don't see any mention of mutli-version TV episode naming. I tried naming them the same as Multi-Version Movies but I'm just getting duplicated episodes. Is this not supported yet or is there a proper way to do this? Thanks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdrianW 1053 Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 The tvdb usually lists the additional episode version in Season 0 (Specials) - see 30 Rock for a couple of examples. These then show up adjacent to the other version (East Coast / West Coast in this example). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaketame 86 Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 It is still planned for the future, thanks. I understand the need to keep competitors in the dark but is there a way we can understand rough timelines? Maybe it can be a hidden form for Premier users only? Things like this wouldn't effect competition too much. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoseySoft 0 Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 I am having a similar issue. Unlike East Coast and West Coast Versions, I have two different scenarios That I am Facing. 1.) I have Several Shows that I have Original Aired Version, and an Extended Version. Star Trek (1863)/Star Trek (1963) S01E01 - The Cage - Original Mixed B/W and Colorized Version.mkv Star Trek (1963)/Star Trek (1963) S01E01 - The Cage - Fully Colorized Version.mkv Star Trek (1963)/Star Trek (1964) S01E01 - The Cage - Fully Restored & Remastered Version.mkv The Above example results in the following: Episode 1 - The Cage Episode 1 - The Cage Episode 1 - The Cage This then creates the problem of determining Which Version is which. Also you can not run the series with auto-play or you get all 3 versions before going on to Episode 2. I also have a series in which there is intros and outros on some episode. All of which are separate files. But to get Emby to play them in the correct order is another issue. 2.) Also have a series like Doctor Who, Where I have the By Parts Version Of the Episode and a Merged into Title Version. Doctor Who (1963)/Doctor Who (1963) S02E01 - A Trip to Nowhere Land Part 1.mkv Doctor Who (1963)/Doctor Who (1963) S02E02 - A Trip To Nowhere Land Part 2.mkv Doctor Who (1963)/Doctor Who (1963) S02E01E03 - A Trip To Nowhere Land.mkv Doctor Who (1963)/Doctor Who (1963) S02E03 - Lost In Time.mkv The above example results in 3 episode in random order, and there is only one version of Episode 3. Suggestion: For Example 2: Set 3 Folders Method as Follows: Doctor Who (1963)/Doctor Who (1963) - Episodes By Part/Doctor Who (1963) S02E01 - A Trip To Nowhere Land Part 1.mkv Doctor Who (1963)/Doctor Who (1963) - Episodes By Part/Doctor Who (1963) S02E01 - A Trip To Nowhere Land Part 2.mkv Doctor Who (1963)/Doctor Who (1963) - Episodes By Title/Doctor Who (1963) S02E01E02 - A Trip To Nowhere Land.mkv Doctor Who (1963)/Doctor Who (1963) - Common Episodes/Doctor Who (1963) S02E03 - Lost In Time.mkv This Should result in a drop down Menu as follows: Episodes By Part Episodes By Title The common would not import to the menu, for this folder would be used by both versions. ie. Episode By Part Would make an internal playlist like The Following: Episode By Part > Folder For Parts/S02E01 > Folder For Parts/S02E02 > Common Folder/S02E03 etc.... Episode By Title > Folder For Titles/S02E01E02 > Common Folder/S02E03 etc... This would cover all versions and the need to duplicate common episodes and taking HHD space. I Have many shows That fit ether one of the 2 scenarios, and a few that could even fit both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But to get Emby to play them in the correct order is another issue. with latest beta 4.0, i'm running multi version episodes correctly grouped and showing the full filename in the dropdown menu i name them by a different version identifier, but that shouldn't matter Series Name (Year)/Season xx/SxxExx - Name [Version].mkv the second one, simply having all files in one folder, also shows up correctly here yes this is inconvenient to binge watch, but having "duplicates" results in duplicates grouping them in some way i think is wrong here, to circumvent this emby would have to tier multiepisode before the first episode and then skip all containing episodes on auto advancing to the next episode but that would be a bit overkill i think, cause most user won't keep separated and combined episodes for "no reason" Edited January 10, 2019 by daedalus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thor 2 Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 I am having the same sort problem. I’d like to reframe the question a bit. With movies there are often several versions: Theatrical Cut, Extended Cut, Directors Cut, 2D, 3D, etc. Emby already handles the versions, in the same folder, quite well through the naming conventions. For Example: MovieName (2009) - 2D.mkv MovieName (2009) - 3D.mkv MovieName (2009) - SD.mkv MovieName (2009) - HD.mkv Movie (1981) - Director's Cut, English.mkv Movie (1981) - Director's Cut, German.mkv In Emby Theater, when choosing a movie to play, the options after the dash are presented in a dropdown list. Couldn’t something similar be supported for TV Series? For example: S03E09 - Broadcast.mkv S03E09 - Extended.mkv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37161 Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 That's what we do. We strip off all of the common parts of the beginning of the file names. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thor 2 Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 It is what you do for Movies. I may be missing something, but it does not seem to be what is done for TV Series. I was suggesting applying the same rules... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
