gillmacca01 149 Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 I'm having problems getting Emby to recognise multi-episodes properly (more than 1 episode per video file). I am running the latest beta version. I have tried removing the files (including nfo's), rescan library, and have tried re-adding manually and via 'auto organise' plugin, but the video files are always displayed with the filename (Show name - 1x01-x02 - episodes names) and because or this, no episode synopsis are downloaded. This may be related to the issue: I have compared the nfo file with single episode nfo files, and notice that the multi-episode nfo's are not showing season/episode numbers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pwhodges 1527 Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 (edited) Although the naming convention you've used is shown in the article on naming (though with two digits for the season), I wonder if there's an issue with it. Certainly I have no problem with s01e01-e02 which works perfectly, so I guess you could try that just to see. (I don't use .nfo files, so I can't comment on that part) Paul Edited January 16, 2020 by pwhodges Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gillmacca01 149 Posted January 16, 2020 Author Share Posted January 16, 2020 Tried your naming convention, and still getting the same results Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pwhodges 1527 Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 (edited) Ah well, it was just a thought... Better just wait for the devs, I guess. But I suppose you could check that the show name is identical in the directory name, and that you are using season sub-folders, as those both seem to make identification more reliable.

gillmacca01 149 Posted January 16, 2020 Author Share Posted January 16, 2020 I've partly resolved it. Using the info in the nfo's file from this post: https://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/78937-multi-episode-file-not-registering-second-episode/, the episodes are displaying correctly, but episode synopsis still isn't being added (refreshed missing metadata, and did a library scan) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBers 6771 Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 I have named my multi-episodes as: "Show name - 9x01x02.mkv" Works for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37057 Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 Yes please go over a complete example. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gillmacca01 149 Posted January 17, 2020 Author Share Posted January 17, 2020 (edited) Added season 1 and episode 1 to the metadata editor, but is showing episode 2 as missing (did a library scan). I have filed in the synopsis manually as it wasn't retrieved Nfo file: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="yes"?> <episodedetails> <plot>A man infected with a deadly virus boards Quantum Airlines flight 66 in Frankfurt, Germany.

Luke 37057 Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 Try turning off the missing episodes feature in your library settings, then run a library scan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gillmacca01 149 Posted January 17, 2020 Author Share Posted January 17, 2020 Done that, but it's still displaying missing episode Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
