2nd Part of 2-Part Movie not Playing

[bubffm 7]

I am having a couple of 2 part movies. They are all nicely grouped together.  But once I have played the first Part on AppleTV, there is no way to play the second part. 

 

It does not auto-start and it does not even show up a selection to start manually.

 

What am I doing wrong.

 

Thanks

Hi.  Do both parts show and play in the web app?

[bubffm 7]

Yes!

 

Its also playing fine in the iOS App. But the second part has to be started manually. Any way to auto-start directly after Part 1?

Not a serious option. takes way to long fro 4k files.

Concatenating two files together?  That should be very quick.

 

Also, I'm just curious why you have 4k files in multiple parts?

It is a serious option and it will get you what you want, now and forever.

Because they come as a download that way.

WHat software shoudl I use to do this on a Mac?  When I try with Quicktime, it tells me it needs 2 hours to re-encode....

Depends on container type, but mkvmerge I think is the most prolific in general (no idea if it is Mac friendly).

I played around with MP4Joiner and that seems to do the job.  Thanks
