davesurfer 18 Posted August 25, 2018 Posted August 25, 2018 So I'm downloading these Turkish episodes and some of them come in 2 or 3 parts. How would I name them so Emby labels them properly? Eg. Season 1 Episode 13 Part 1, I've tried S01E1301, but this doesn't work. It just shows Episode 13 for all 3 files. THanks!
Luke 42077 Posted August 25, 2018 Posted August 25, 2018 Hi, we don't currently support this. It's planned for the future. for the best possible experience we suggest joining the files. thanks.

Luke 42077 Posted August 25, 2018 Posted August 25, 2018 i've used mkvtoolnix in the past although i'm not sure if it only accepts mkv input or not. but that is just drag and drop.

Deathsquirrel 745 Posted August 28, 2018 Posted August 28, 2018 MKVToolnix will join MP4s but it outputs them as MKV. 1
VaporTrail 66 Posted January 15, 2019 Posted January 15, 2019 Does Emby 4.0 support episode files with multiple parts now?  I just use the same episode name appended with (1), (2), etc. They display in the GUI as a single episode, but don't consolidate total runtime...
Luke 42077 Posted January 15, 2019 Posted January 15, 2019 We will get to it, but for now for the best experience possible I would suggest joining the files. 1
Macieksoft 1 Posted April 29, 2019 Posted April 29, 2019 We will get to it, but for now for the best experience possible I would suggest joining the files. Any word on the progress of this? Im having more and more series with multi file episodes, plex handles them alright, but any implementation would be fine on emby.Â
CBers 7450 Posted April 30, 2019 Posted April 30, 2019 Im having more and more series with multi file episodes, plex handles them alright, but any implementation would be fine on emby. Join them together. 1
Macieksoft 1 Posted April 30, 2019 Posted April 30, 2019 Join them together. Ya already on that, using MKVToolNix in a docker in unraid, I kept the original files for when Emby implements it, I preferred the split files as that was how they were aired but merging seems to be the only workaround right now.
CBers 7450 Posted April 30, 2019 Posted April 30, 2019 An alternative way, is to use ffmpeg itself.  Find ffmpeg in you Emby server system folder.  Open a command prompt in that folder (generally if you highlight the relevant ffmpeg folder and shift right click on it you will see "open command window here"  Then type this command (best to prepare it in notepad and cut and paste)  ffmpeg.exe -i concat:"Full Path to 1st part.avi"^|"Full Path to 2nd part.avi" -c copy -vsync vfr -af "aresample=async=1000" "Full Path to joined movie.avi"  eg  ffmpeg.exe -i concat:"m:\media\this means war\bdmv\stream\00600.m2ts"^|"m:\media\this means war\bdmv\stream\00608.m2ts" -c copy -vsync vfr -af "aresample=async=1000" "m:\media\this means war\this means war.mkv"  To do this both part of the movie must be the same dimensions and codecs which is generally the case.  EXAMPLE:  ffmpeg.exe -i concat:"X:\Videos\Movies\The Great Escape (1963) 2 parts\The Great Escape (1963) part1.avi"^|"X:\Videos\Movies\The Great Escape (1963) 2 parts\The Great Escape (1963) part2.avi" -c copy -vsync vfr -af "aresample=async=1000" "X:\Videos\Movies\The Great Escape (1963) 2 parts\The Great Escape (1963).avi"  Might be quicker than mkvtoolnix.  (Origanlly posted by @@Tikuf many moons ago)
morikaweb 0 Posted July 14, 2019 Posted July 14, 2019 +1 for this feature, it is about the only thing that I really miss from Plex.
MBSki 1114 Posted December 26, 2019 Posted December 26, 2019 Any update on this feature? Is it at least in-progress?
Luke 42077 Posted December 26, 2019 Posted December 26, 2019 It's not currently in progress. We will get there, but but even when we do we still recommend joining the files for the best possible experience.
MBSki 1114 Posted December 26, 2019 Posted December 26, 2019 Ok, can it at least be configured so the parts show in order? I have a few that are showing up with part 2 as the 1st version rather than part 1.

MBSki 1114 Posted December 26, 2019 Posted December 26, 2019 Where, can you show a screenshot? What are the file names? Â Yes, here you go. 1st screenshot of the version drop down and second is of each files metadata.
Luke 42077 Posted December 27, 2019 Posted December 27, 2019 Ok well the version default is based on which is most efficient, not by title. Since those appear to be identical, we could probably use title as secondary sorting although that still doesn't promise anything.
MBSki 1114 Posted December 27, 2019 Posted December 27, 2019 Ok, thanks Luke. I added pt1 after the episode number since that's how Plex recognizes the order of files. Could you use that naming convention or something similar for the order?
Luke 42077 Posted December 27, 2019 Posted December 27, 2019 When we get to it I'm sure we'll support all of the most commonly used conventions.
MBSki 1114 Posted December 27, 2019 Posted December 27, 2019 Great, thanks. Do you have a feature/fix roadmap pinned somewhere? It'd be cool to see what's up next for implementation.
