eagleeye208 1 Posted September 13, 2025 Posted September 13, 2025 I designed my layout for split video files as explained here: https://emby.media/support/articles/Movie-Naming.html#split-video-files-file-stacking On AppleTV it does not show both parts. In fact, when played, its starts with Part 2, and ignores Part 1! Files: The Lord of the Rings The Fellowship of the Ring (2001)/The Lord of the Rings The Fellowship of the Ring (2001)-part1.mkv The Lord of the Rings The Fellowship of the Ring (2001)-part1-poster.jpg The Lord of the Rings The Fellowship of the Ring (2001)/The Lord of the Rings The Fellowship of the Ring (2001)-part2.mkv The Lord of the Rings The Fellowship of the Ring (2001)/The Lord of the Rings The Fellowship of the Ring (2001)-part2.nfo It is missing the nfo for part one (maybe?), however it does "know" about it, and creates an image to display a thumb on the Desktop (Chrome) interface. It also plays Part 2 first on Desktop as well. I tried removing folder and refreshing server scheduled tasks, and re-adding it, but it always seems to remember part2 as the starting video. Thoughts?

eagleeye208 1 Posted September 17, 2025 Author Posted September 17, 2025 On desktop It show the movie without any "version" drop downs, when you click "Play" it will jump to "Part 2", it shows "Part 1" below the movie title as an "Additional Part" with a clickable image link.

Luke 42077 Posted September 26, 2025 Posted September 26, 2025 hi @eagleeye208the ordering should be resolved in the upcoming 4.9 server release. We will look at adding additional parts to apple tv. Thanks ! 1
eagleeye208 1 Posted October 4, 2025 Author Posted October 4, 2025 Yay! 4.9.x added support for multi-part to AppleTV!

The app does not yet support multi-part, but this will be coming. The fact that you've got a part 2 in there suggests you have not named your files properly for multi-part: Movie Naming

eagleeye208 1 Posted October 6, 2025 Author Posted October 6, 2025 So the versions thing you noted was actually Emby merging Theatrical and Extended after the update to 4.9.1.80. After I re-split the version, I still have Part2 starting first, with thumbnail of part1. I tried removing the folder, rescanning library, removing part2 from folder, readd folder to Movie folder, rescanning (it picks up part1 and its chapter thumbnails just fine), then re-add part2, rescanning... Boom back to defaulting to part2 first on play, with part1 back to being a thumbnail under
Luke 42077 Posted October 6, 2025 Posted October 6, 2025 Hi, can you please show the complete contents of the folder? thanks.

Luke 42077 Posted October 9, 2025 Posted October 9, 2025 Also @eagleeye208can you please temporarily enable debug server logging in the server logs section, then run a library scan. Then when it finishes, please attach that debug log. How to Report a Problem Thanks !

Luke 42077 Posted October 11, 2025 Posted October 11, 2025 OK I think I've finally tracked this down. Please let me know if the next build resolves it. Thanks !
