cappapp 7 Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 I've looked at the naming guide, but I'm not sure what to do in the case of 1 episode, broken into 3 parts. If there is even an option. Or maybe I didn't understand. Can anyone confirm if I can do this or not? Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy2Play 8281 Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 Can you go over a specific example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy2Play 8281 Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 (edited) There is no easy way for this, it will be some work but you already have them in single episodes you would just need to rename the episode number according to TVDB. Cartoons are problematic as different providers handle them differently. But this specific example TMDB list them individually also. So from a metadata provider standpoint these should not be parts of a specific episode. Personally I would use a tool like Bulk Rename Utility and rename them using the interface to the remove 2 character in the naming and replace them sequentially. I will post an example shortly.

Carlo 4330 Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 Your best bet would be to combine this manually outside of Emby back into 1 episode so that it matches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really as they are individual episodes on provider sites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlo 4330 Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 To me if it's one episode broken up as he gets it into 3 files but the meta-data is only for one episode I WOULD combine the three into 1 file so it matches the provider data. That's just me but how I'd handle this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution Happy2Play 8281 Posted November 22, 2020 Solution Share Posted November 22, 2020 Here is an example of what I would do to make each one match provider. The set code provides proper new name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But provider has them individually sequentially. If you combine them then you have to rename as S01E01-E03. Instead of as is and change episode numbers.

Carlo 4330 Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 I misunderstood I think. So there is the correct number of episodes and the description is correct but episode season/number is wrong? In that case just a rename. What am I missing?

cappapp 7 Posted November 22, 2020 Author Share Posted November 22, 2020 Actually, based on that information. It was easier to just remove all the numbering and have filebot fix them up; 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy2Play 8281 Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 (edited) Yes Filebot is really good at matching this information (Show/episode name). Edited November 22, 2020 by Happy2Play Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cappapp 7 Posted November 22, 2020 Author Share Posted November 22, 2020 Yeah. Thanks for the help. I don't know why I didn't think of that earlier. I've done that in the past, I guess I was thrown off by assuming the 3 files should of been 1 file. Thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't believe the Split video files (file stacking) logic applies to Episodes/TV, like it does a Movie. But glad it was a relatively easy fix.
