utah-dave 4 Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 I am not 100% sure this question goes here. IF it dose not my apologies I will re pots to the correct location. Here is my problem and I am not sure how to handle it. I bought a Full TV series of our family favorite TV show. Their is 10 seasons 4 disk to each seasons and 6 shows to a disk. The family really wants to be able to go to this TV series and be able to pick 1 show as the pick to watch. A lot like you can on Netflix or Amazon when watching a full series. I am not sure how to do that. Right now I have copied the full disk with menus in a ISO. I know right now ISO is not supported, I am just not sure how to get a menu so they can select what episode they would like to watch. Any feed back on how this can be done, or who has done this would be AWESOME! Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 14910 Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 Hi. Google "makemkv". That is a tool that will allow you to create individual files for each episode on each disc. When you do that, name them according to our supported naming structure and then your user's will have the interface they want. Let us know if that answers your question.

utah-dave 4 Posted January 22, 2020 Author Share Posted January 22, 2020 Ok I have dvdfab. is makemkv a better option for us? Thank for the feedback!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 14910 Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 If DVDFab can extract individual episodes then that will work as well. The trick is identifying the episodes so something that will allow you to preview the particular .vob file is helpful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
utah-dave 4 Posted January 22, 2020 Author Share Posted January 22, 2020 got it. I will try. thank you so much for the feedback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
utah-dave 4 Posted January 22, 2020 Author Share Posted January 22, 2020 OK last questions. I just did the first disk. This is how it spit it out. what should I rename here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 14910 Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 Hopefully (not always the case), your episodes are the title_0x.mkv files and are in order. So, if the disc was episodes 1-4 then title_01, title_02 etc. But, you may need to preview them to be sure as some discs scramble them on purpose. Also pay attention to size. Significantly smaller ones are probably outtakes or specials. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
utah-dave 4 Posted January 22, 2020 Author Share Posted January 22, 2020 (edited) OK good note. how do I how deal outtakes or specials. I know this set has a lot of bloopers Also... very last question. Do I put all the Titles for one seasons inside one folder? Instead I have then broken out into Seasons, then disk right now.

ebr 14910 Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 What do you see one level up from that? Did you define this library as type "TV Shows"? What folder did you point the library to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
utah-dave 4 Posted January 24, 2020 Author Share Posted January 24, 2020 sure. I added the JPG to the folder to get some kind of art. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 14910 Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 Okay, so they are not being identified as TV shows at all. Try putting a space or period between "friends" and the sxxexx in the episode names. e.g. Friends.S01E01.mkv. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37050 Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 You can't have a library that is a subfolder of another library with different content types. You already have \\domain\movies And then you're trying to do \\domain\movies\tv series Instead, try something like: \\domain\movies\movies \\domain\movies\tv series Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diedrich 355 Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 Now that you've got the series setup, you'll want to choose the art to your liking. While in the TV series, click the poster. This will take you to a page where you can edit the art. You can search for available art or you can upload your own. Be sure to check your library settings to make sure there are at least The TVDB and Fanart set as sources for artwork. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
