Separate episodes made multiversion

[pwhodges 2012]

I had a subfolder (called "BD Extras") of a series in which there were two files with the following names:

Alternate ep 14 recap, Act 14.0, 14.3 
Alternate ep 15 recap, Act 14.6

Emby displayed this as two versions of "Alternate ep", with the drop-down offering "14 recap, Act 14.0, 14.3" and "15 recap, Act 14.6".  Surely this can't be as intended?  I thought version names followed a hyphen... 

 

From the knowledgebase:

...anything following the "-" (dash) up to the file extension will be used in the drop down version selector in your Emby client.

Hi there, can you please provide specific folder and files names within the hierarchy? Thanks.

Surely all this unsupported structure is going to be chaotic and unpredictable.  But will do a test.

 

Series

    BD Extras

       Alternate ep 14 recap, Act 14.0, 14.3

       Alternate ep 15 recap, Act 14.6

    Season x

Okay I assume this is a parsing issue as both these specials/extras are episode 14 with a unknown season in my test, do toseries not having that many seasons.

 

Only way in my test to get those episodes in multiversion was to apply same season/episode in metadata.

 

Note the multi-version rule doesn't really apply to Series.  It is metadata dependant season/episode.

Exactly.
