absolute numbering does handle multi episodes correctly

[draic 0]

title should say incorrectly. sorry

=====

 

When using aired display order the file:

 

Naruto Shippuuden - s01e01-02 - Homecoming [DB](75F021EA).avi

 

will be correctly matched with episode 1 and 2 and include the episode title from both (the overview text is also from both episodes, but only the first episodes' text will appear in the normal window; only in edit metadata will the text from the other episode be visible).

 

So far so good, but with absolute numbering:

 

Naruto Shippuuden - 001-002 - Homecoming [DB](75F021EA).avi

Will result in a match for episode 2 alone, disregarding the first episode completely (if you rename 001-002 to 01-02 it is the same result btw)

 

 

absolute numbering should get the same multi episode logic added that exists for aired ordering (= season/episode splitting).

I don't believe that has ever been a valid naming naming option for multi episode files.

the wiki was never updated to include anything at all about absolute numbering, the whole feature is basically undocumented. for aired numbering my example is included in the wiki. see "show name S01E02-E03 episode name.ext"

It's the same naming schemes for absolute numbering except that you have two options:

 

• Use naming that doesn't contain a season number, which the only one there is 02 Episode Name.ext
• Or use any naming and give them all season 1

 

Please let us know if this helps. Thanks.

giving them all s01 is not really a solution, just a workaround. There are no seasons. There is no way to mark a file without seasons as a multi-episode. Multi-episode support should be expanded as absolute numbering; like this is incomplete.
