Confusing documentation re: Multi-Part Movies

[jeremymeyers 4]

in https://support.emby.media/support/solutions/articles/44001159102-movie-naming the multi-part movies section is this:

 

===

Split video files (file stacking)

The following are default stacking extensions that can be added to file names. # can be 1 through 9 or A through D. Stacking is supported for video files (but only when each video is in its own folder as in the example below) as well as dvd and blu-ray folder structures.

• part#
• cd#
• dvd#
• pt#
• disk#
• disc#

You can also use:

• moviename#.ext

Where # can be A through D.

 

Examples:

\Movies\Avatar (2009)\Avatar (2009)-cd1.mkv
\Movies\Avatar (2009)\Avatar (2009)-cd2.mkv

==

It says "Stacking is supported for video files (but only when each video is in its own folder as in the example below) as well as dvd and blu-ray folder structures." and then the example it gives is of two media files that are not in their own folders, but sharing a folder.  So, do they actually need to be in their own folders? Or do they just all need to be in the same movie folder?

Might i suggest a reworking, thusly:

==

Multi-part movies (e.g. a movie spread over multiple discs, or a movie with individual scenes split up) are supported by adding any of the following to the end of the filename (replacing "#" with 1-9 or A-D):

• -part#
• -cd#
• -dvd#
• -pt#
• -disk#
• -disc#

You may also use moviename#.ext, but # may only be A, B, C or D

• # (without preceding hyphen. In this case # may be A, B, C or D)

Examples:

\Movies\Avatar (2009)\Avatar (2009)-cd1.mkv
\Movies\Avatar (2009)\Avatar (2009)-cd2.mkv

\Movies\Avatar (2009)\Avatar (2009)-part1.mkv

\Movies\Avatar (2009)\Avatar (2009)-part2.mkv

\Movies\Avatar (2009)\Avatar (2009)A.mkv

\Movies\Avatar (2009)\Avatar (2009)B.mkv

They need to be in their own folder as shown in the example.  That means with a folder having the movie name.

"in their own folder" compared to having 5000 movies all in one directory (which many people do). <-- can't do stacked files this way.

Perhaps change the word "video" to "title" in that parenthetical statement...

[Happy2Play 9352]

May be (but only when each part is in its own named title folder as in the example below).

Added a bit more to that section to hopefully make it clearer.
