nobody01 89 Posted October 15, 2018 Posted October 15, 2018 So I love the fact the the Mutli-Episode for TV Show is very agnostic to naming conventions of the file... I'm awating for IMDB based linking for Movies however When you have mutli-file for both movie/file it should remember the selection and only present that as a resume option or show a single option but when you click resume it provide the multi-file option of selecting which one to resume. Currently we see both the 1080/4k file version in the Continue Watching 2
ebr 16176 Posted October 15, 2018 Posted October 15, 2018 What if you watched the first 1/2 on your phone (in 480) and then want to finish it at home (in 4k)...?
Carlo 4561 Posted October 15, 2018 Posted October 15, 2018 Or 1080 in the bedroom and then finish it at 4K in the living room or vice versa. This works great the way it is.
paulsalter 84 Posted October 15, 2018 Posted October 15, 2018 I dont think the OP is asking for a specific version to show in Continue Watching He wants it to show once in there, then when selecting it you are asked which version to continue playing Thats how it reads to me 1

This could be further improved by providing app specific defaults too.
Carlo 4561 Posted October 15, 2018 Posted October 15, 2018 I guess my question is why? Do you not want it to work the same as the original play? It should work consistently from a play or a resume IMHO.

It should work consistently from a play or a resume IMHO. It doesn’t do that in the beta... the beta has the ability to merge tv shows into a single item, similar to as movies does currently. Also when you have merged movies it presents two Continue Watching and i’d like that to merge too. Edited October 15, 2018 by jaketame
Carlo 4561 Posted October 15, 2018 Posted October 15, 2018 It doesn't do that for me on Movies as I just got done testing this a few minutes ago. However, maybe it's a client issue. What client are you seeing this in? Can you get us a screen shot or two of this?
nobody01 89 Posted October 15, 2018 Author Posted October 15, 2018 Does it for me for movies and tv shows iOS / Android TV / Web View
MikePlanet 144 Posted October 15, 2018 Posted October 15, 2018 (edited) Does it for me for movies and tv shows iOS / Android TV / Web View I reported the same here already. I suppose it is caused by the "manual grouping of items in different folders", which behaves slightly different than the autogrouping does within the same folder. It's imho a bug that needs to be fixed. Same applies e.g. for "latest movies" and withini boxsets, the versions are also not grouped together. Edited October 15, 2018 by MikePlanet
Carlo 4561 Posted October 15, 2018 Posted October 15, 2018 Thanks for the pictures. I totally misunderstood what you were asking for. Now I get it, and yes I've seen it do that also and think it's a bug as well.

This is the feature request to sort it out then Thanks for the pictures. I totally misunderstood what you were asking for.

ebr 16176 Posted October 16, 2018 Posted October 16, 2018 Okay, but this is ONLY a problem if you grouped these manually, correct? If they are multi-versions by following our naming conventions, it works as expected?

If they are multi-versions by following our naming conventions, it works as expected? Movies - I've tried manual movies by merging and using the scripted method that was posted here https://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/63643-automatic-version-grouping-for-movies/ both methods result in duplicate resumes. I'm not renaming circa 1500 files as it breaks all automation. TVShows - Using the latest beta, it auto-grouped them and still face the same issue.

I just tried this with Avatar which I have 3D, AVC, 4K and 1080p and it worked just fine for me only listing one continue play. These are in the same directory name like: Avatar (2009) - 4K.mp4 Avatar (2009) - 1080p.mp4 etc

nobody01 89 Posted January 20, 2019 Author Posted January 20, 2019 @@Luke - Any further with cross directory resuming? Thanks
Luke 42078 Posted January 20, 2019 Posted January 20, 2019 Have you tried this with the latest release?
nobody01 89 Posted January 20, 2019 Author Posted January 20, 2019 Ive just rebuilt on the latest and it's library scanning now so will let you now.
nobody01 89 Posted January 21, 2019 Author Posted January 21, 2019 (edited) Thanks. Boom, looks resolved Thanks Luke, awesome as always! Edited January 21, 2019 by jaketame
