Split choice for linked movies with Part 1, 2 in names

[tlkounev 8]

Hi,

 

if we have 2 movies in same folder which were named with XXX Part 1 and XXX Part 2 emby link them and ignore they are seperate movies.

 

Like Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1 and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 or The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 1 and The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 2.

 

In this cases emby will make "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1" and "The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 1" movies. It will download metadatas. Its OK but it will link Part 2 movies like additional parts... It ignores they are seperate movies and we cant download metadatas for this movies or split this for 2 movies we have to move this movies from same folder to another folders... I think there could be choice "split movie" in context menu.

Hi, yea it's due to the file names. What you could do is make separate folders for these movies and that would work too.

You're confusing actual separate movies from "split" movies.

 

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2

The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 1

The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 2

Those are 4 distinct movies regardless of the names.

 

The split feature is really for those who have a SINGLE movie in multiple parts.  Think back when a move required changing DVDs half way through.  If you ripped a movie like that you would have 2 different files (disc 1, disc 2).  You could then combine them back into one media file or just add them as parts and Emby would immediately start part 2 after part 1 was finished.

 

Moral is "part files" go in the same folder and different movies go in different folders.
