Only the first part of the two episodes is recognized, need help

[yanpfei 0]

I have a TV show in DVD format.

Each disk (folder) contains two episodes. (figure 1)

I am not familiar with typical DVD structure, but I think the two episodes seem to correspond to VTS_01 to VTS_05 in the VIDEO_TS folder (figure 3).

After re-scanning the media libruary in emby, only the first episode (of the two episodes located in the same folder) is recognized in emby (that is, Episode #1, #3, #5,... are recognized and shown, but Episode #2, #4, #6, ... are missing in emby) (refer to figure 4)

Could you help me on this? Thank you!

Hi, but in your screenshot it says 1-2, right? You have both episodes together as one media item, that's how it will look in Emby.

In addition to what Luke said, I'd strongly recommend that you convert these to MKV.  That has a lot of benefits.  It will reduce the need for transcoding.  It will most likely take care of the issue you posted about as most TV on DVD will automatically split to individual episodes when converted to MKV.  If it doesn't, it will also allow easy splitting at desired time/chapter markers using tools like MKVMerge.

Yes, it says 1-2 in the screenshot, but only the first episode is played (and the second episode is totally hidden) in emby.

Thank you for the suggestion, I will try the convertion using MKVMerge.
