Split Movies / File Stacking

[stoc2528 0]

My multi disc movies that I've ripped into a " pt1, pt2 " or "part1, part2", etc., aren't playing the 2nd part. 

 

I've followed the naming conventions listed in this Emby setup article; https://github.com/MediaBrowser/Wiki/wiki/Movie%20naming

 

where it says;

Split video files (file stacking)

The following are default stacking extensions that can be added to file names. # can be 1 through 9 or A through D. Stacking is supported for video files as well as dvd and blu-ray folder structures.

• ​part#​
• ​cd#​
• ​dvd#​
• ​pt#​
• ​disk#​
• ​disc#​

You can also use:

• moviename#.ext

Where # can be A through D.

Examples:

\Movies\Avatar (2009)\Avatar (2009)-cd1.mkv\Movies\Avatar (2009)\Avatar (2009)-cd2.mkv

You probably need to put some spaces between the "-".  e.g. " - ".

 

HOWEVER, why are you doing this at all?  Just combine the two into a single mkv and get much better functionality.

Hello, ebr

 

I am using the " - " before the " pt1 " or " pt2 ".

 

I haven't combined the files because I didn't know how and it wasn't necessary with Plex, which I left for Emby.

 

Thanks for the suggestion, though.  I'm trying it now with MKVToolNix.
