file with episodes from different seasons

[guill69f 17]

Hi, i have a couple of files that contain episodes which are not in the same sequence as indicated on TVDB, for example:

• the file "TVshowS01E18.S01E01" contains episodes 01 and 18, but episode 18 is the first episode when i play the file, then episode 1 plays next
• the file "TVshowS03E01.S02E18" contains 2 episodes from 2 different seasons (2 and 3), but the playing sequence will be Episode 1 from season 3 and then Episode 18 from season 2

The reason for that is probably that the source for the file was not following the aired sequence from the TVDB.

So the question are: Is emby able to understand the correct sequence to present the episodes? How to i need to organize / name the files, so that emby can see that some files have episodes connected to different seasons, and present the episodes in the right way. I would like to avoid editing the file themselves (splitting), but if this is the only way, any software recommendation to do that? I found https://github.com/pathartl/BananaSplit but it crashes all the time on my win10 install.

thanks!

Hi, there is currently no support for this. If you really don’t want to split the file then I would just make two copies of it.

ok then, thanks. so if i would have 2 copies of the file "TVshowS03E01.S02E18", i would rename them "TVshowS03E01" and "TVshowS02E18", but when i would play the S02E18, it would start to play episode 1 from Season 3 right?
