Displaying chapters for strm files

[crusher11 1102]

I have a few titles I want to display in multiple locations. For example, I have Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me in both the Specials for the Twin Peaks TV show and in my Movies library. I have the 1995 game between the Perth Wildcats and the Houston Rockets in both my NBL and NBA sections.

 

To save space, I do this via a strm file. The actual MKV goes in one folder, the strm goes in another and simply points at the MKV. But this means chapter points don't display.

 

Would copying and renaming the bif file be sufficient? If not, is there another way to make it work, other than creating a second identical MKV?

It's currently not supported, but possible for the future. Thanks.

Is it possible for Emby to tell if a strm file points to a local or remote file?

[Luke 42085]

Yes based on the contents, although currently we don't examine it until the first time you play the strm.

Wouldn't it make sense to check initially, and then if it's local load subtitle, audio track and chapter information?

Yes it's always possible to add enhancements for strms pointing to local files. Thanks for the feedback.
