My movie are 3 mkv files in a folder. I have no problems playing them , but i have to choose the next file when the first file is finished playing.
Is there a way to play this so i dont have to start the next file manualy?

usually cd1,cd2 at the end of the file does this.

Never tried cd3

ok, so if you have for example King Kong cd1.mkv, King Kong cd2.mkv they will not play as a complete file.

If you are trying to play completely different filenames as in "playlist mode" this is a feature that has been asked for in MP2, so it will cover all formats allowed to be added to a playlist, same as you can do for music at moment.

Now it worked better.
My filename was the matrix.1080.cd1.mkv. Took away 1080 and then mp stacked the movie and asked to put in a movie. Just pressed enter and then it started. But there are a small breake in the movie when it changes from file to file.
