H265 naming

[Smaky 131]

I am wondering how should I setup a group of movies I have enconded both in H264 and H265. I know the naming convention for multiple resolutions... 720p, 1080p. In this case, both are 1080p but one version is H264 and the other is H265.

 

Is there any way to name the movie appropiately so Emby will identify them both as the same movie with two different encondings?

 

BTW, both novies are in MKV container.

you can give them any suffix you want.

 

movie.mkv

movie-apple.mkv

I just did... in this case Movie.H265,mkv vs Movie.mkv.. problem is, they show up as two different items in the library and not as variations of a single one.

The separator must be a hyphen - so, for example use "Movie.mkv" and "Movie-h265.mkv".

 

Generally, the names before the hyphen must be identical for emby to treat them as the same movie.

I noticed the formatting in Luke´s post... I renamed the movie to Cinderella (2015),mkv and Cinderella (2015)-h265.mkv. Then rescanned the library. Still two sepparate items. (Two sets of images downloaded, etc.)

Finally got it to work... the problem was that I was naming the movie as Cinferella (2015)-h265.mkv instead of them being named Cinderella (2015) - h266.mkv and Cinderella (2015) - h264.mkv (Notice the extra spaces between the dashes. After renaming and scanning the database I got it to be recognized as a single movie in two different formats.
