Morphus 0 Posted March 3, 2017 Posted March 3, 2017 Have a couple of multi part movie as everyone, mostly the Lord of the Ring extended edition. Tried to named them according to convention, but when played through Kodi, with combine split video items enabled, it only play the first then stop. If I open the movie through EMBY web client, I see it as additional parts. Using Kodi on RPi 3 v 17.1-RC1 Using Emby on windows V 3.2.5.0 Did anyone succeed making it work? Trying to use Emby to have a single database between multiple device, but this is a pain. If using directly through Kodi it work fine however. File is name The Lord of the Ring - The Two Towers-disc1.mkv Also I don't want to merge them, when doing so it cause an audio sync issue, already tried it multiple time since it should be way simpler, but sadly that sync issue is unacceptable.
PVTD 37 Posted March 3, 2017 Posted March 3, 2017 I don't think Emby supports multi-disks. What software did you use to merge them? I guess the best way would be to use actual editing software instead of "merge MKV" freeware from softpedia alike origins. Maybe some one has a better software they use? PV
Morphus 0 Posted March 3, 2017 Author Posted March 3, 2017 MKVToolnix According to wiki and many forum post, Emby support multi disk, in client you see them as additional part, and according to same post Kodi should play additional part after the first one is completed. It just doesn't work
Spaceboy 2573 Posted March 4, 2017 Posted March 4, 2017 Yes we all had multi part LOTR movies and we all merged them using mkvtoolnix. Just try it, you have nothing to lose
Morphus 0 Posted March 4, 2017 Author Posted March 4, 2017 As mention i've already tried it multiple time and even regrab, I always get a big audio offset. So sadly not a solution for me
Spaceboy 2573 Posted March 4, 2017 Posted March 4, 2017 I'd keep looking, you will resolve it quicker than this will be implemented in Emby

djhifi 56 Posted March 7, 2017 Posted March 7, 2017 (edited) Have a couple of multi part movie as everyone, mostly the Lord of the Ring extended edition. @@Morphus The secret here is in bold. That's not true. I don't know a single person who uses multi-part movies convention which dates back from mid-2003's lol. Why would you have multi-part movies in 2017? I have everything extended (LOTR, and other movies) and I don't see how it's useful to multi-parting them. I'm not joking, maybe I'm naive. Furthermore, the only thing that I know being supported out-of-the-box is regarding TV Shows encoded differently than HDTV's releases. For instance, The 100 S01E01E02.mkv is scrapped correctly by emby and displayed correcly by KODI (i.e. 2 episodes of The 100 TV Show) altough a single file contains both of them. All of this (the naming conventions of either movies as well Shows) need to be in accordance with either themoviedb and/or thetvdb API's. Regarding audio-offsets:. If you really want to go that way with every multi-part you have (you would be better finding single encodes out there, but still): Use MKVToolnix indeed but first you need to create audio timecodes for each multipart that you are later trying to "append" There is even an option named like this). Use MKV Toolnix alongside MKV Extract GUI. When you create individual timecodes for each part-audio youre extracting, import them alongside the vídeo files in the toolnix merger via "append". It should work. Basically for a multi-parted movie in 3 pieces you will end up with 6 timecodes (if im correct, i dont use this since a long time) + 3 áudios and 3 vídeo files.

It just doesn't work Sorry for the double post. Also, this is happening because the option of stop playback after one file, is turned on in KODI options (library section if I'm not mistaken). It mostly Works for TV Shows (again). When you want ininterrupt playback among episodes. But try it, who knows. As I said, never heard of multi-parts working correctly (i.e. scrape and playback) before. There has been a longtime since my last DVD multi part encode lol. Edited March 7, 2017 by djhifi
