Multi episode files not recognized

[aptalca 71]

Hi, I have a couple of multi episode files that are recognized by emby as single episodes. Here's the name of one of them: "Vikings - S05E01-E02 - The Departed + TBA HDTV-720p.mkv"

 

According to the emby wiki, this naming convention should be recognized as multi but emby only recognizes it as episode 1.

 

The other one is agents of shield: "Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. - S05E01-E02 - Orientation HDTV-720p.mkv" any ideas? Thanks

How are you determining that it's only being recognized as a single episode?

It is listed everywhere as just the first episode, no mention of the second anywhere, not in the web gui, not in the apps, not in the episode name or description.

Did you import it with a pre-existing nfo and perhaps that nfo only has info for episode 1? the same exact file for me shows the dual title.

Ah, yes, sonarr automatically creates an xml for episodes next to the media, but it contains info on both episodes:

Right so in this case we only read the first episode details. Reading the additional ones is just not something we have implemented yet but it's planned for the future. On the other hand, if you were to import that file without a pre-existing nfo, then emby would fetch internet metadata and you'd get the usual concatenated details.

I see, thanks so much for the clarification
