cayars 3396 Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 Hi, These days it's best to use a 3rd party tool and combine the two parts into one file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speechles 1738 Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 (edited) Those silly tokens. The token is "HeaderAdditionalParts" and it allows us to change this text into any language. Sometimes these tokens get updated and we have to update them in the application to match their new name. That is all this is. Thank you for bring it to our attention. Reference: Fix #1015: [LANGS] "HeaderAdditionalParts" has been removed from langs, placing into proprietary langs The best program to concatenate files is MKVMerge @ https://mkvtoolnix.download/doc/mkvmerge.html You can also use MKVToolNix GUI (https://mkvtoolnix.download/downloads.html) which has the same ability as MKVMerge since the same company makes these utlities.

I've always found mkvtoolnix works well - create a new MKV with part 1 (drag it on) and Append part 2 (drag it on and choose Append) - sync is usually taken care of this way.

chrisrobbins1970 1 Posted January 4 Author Share Posted January 4 nope tried that. Sound was in sync, however the second part was completed pixelated.. too bad..PLEX automatically sees the two files and added it as one file..bummer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 12442 Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 The second half should play automatically but, as indicated combining to one file will give you much better functionality. 12 minutes ago, chrisrobbins1970 said: however the second part was completed pixelated. Appending should not impact the video at all. Are the two parts in different formats? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pwhodges 643 Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 I get that sometimes with MKVToolnix especially when appending HEVC files, but then running through Handbrake usually fixes it... Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisrobbins1970 1 Posted January 4 Author Share Posted January 4 same file format...maybe Im doing it wrong is there a step by step I can follow?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cayars 3396 Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 Maybe you might have better luck trying another program? I usually join movies parts using AVIDemux. You open the first file, then append the second and then save the results. I typically use this program to quickly edit DVR recordings to remove commercials. It's old, not the slickest UI but works quite well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup use it myself - Ctrl PgUp and Ctrl PgDown on keyframes and it's very quick to remove commercials - great output options too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
