Multi-segment episode NFO issue ?

Hi,

I have an issue with all (aside one) my multi-segment episodes, their are displayed as one episode.
I use the format : tvshow - S01E01-E02(-E0N) - title.ext

OS : debian stretch Linux 5.0.21 x86_64
Emby version: 4.1.1.0


In the database data field of MediaItems does not contains IndexNumberEnd except for the working one.
The only difference I see is the Kodi NFO (I didn't see something helpful in debug log btw), I forgot to set details of the second segment.

Not working : (Two or more root)

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" ?>
<episodedetails>
    <title>TITLE EP 1</title>
    <showtitle>TVSHOW</showtitle>
    <season>1</season>
    <episode>1</episode>
...
<episodedetails>
<episodedetails>
    <title>TITLE EP 2</title>
    <showtitle>TVSHOW</showtitle>
    <season>1</season>
    <episode>2</episode>
...
<episodedetails>

Working one : (Only one root)

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" ?>
<episodedetails>
    <title>TITLE EP 1</title>
    <showtitle>TVSHOW</showtitle>
    <season>1</season>
    <episode>1</episode>
...
<episodedetails>

Usually XML parser doesn't like multiple root (and their are right), so it's maybe the issue here but unfortunately it's how Kodi wants them.
Do you support Kodi multi-segment NFO ? (or maybe it's something else ?)

Note : I just discover Emby and aside this small detail I really enjoy it. You are doing a great job.

Hi, yes for now you'd have to edit the metadata manually for this one. We haven't implemented this feature of nfo files yet. Thanks for the feedback.

I may be wrong but it looks like a bug, the fact that the NFO is not supported should not change the behavior of parsing E.g S01E01-E02 from the filename and set IndexNumberEnd accordingly.
I mean with the supported NFO multi-segment works, IndexNumberEnd and the episode on the web app is shown as "1-2" but with the unsupported only  "1" is displayed and IndexNumberEnd is not set.

Yes of course.
I will try to find a workaround like run a script on library scan start/end event, or stop emby and "fix" the database, ...
If I end-up with something not too dirty I will share it here but it will be Linux only.

EDIT :

I get it now, the NFO is parsed but since there is no <episodenumberend> "custom tag" only the first segment number is set.
Indeed it's a choice (trust the NFO more than the filename) and not a bug.

 

You just need to add <episodenumberend> in your multi-segment NFO, Kodi parser doesn't mind of unknown tags, its not a problem.

This thread is a duplicate of Reading and writing of nfo for multi-part episodes is wrong
Sorry about that I should have searched more.
 

Thanks for your reply.

XML does NOT allow for multiple roots; I don't know how we would store information about multiple episodes in the same NFO file.
