Displaying 2nd episode of a double episode in TVSeries (1 Viewer)

I've never managed to get double episodes to work properly for some reason, however I have decided to have another go.

My parsing does work okay as both fields that detail the 2nd episode are populated, however it will still only show one episode when you go into the tv series in media portal.

I have tried deleting a season that contains some double episodes and re-importing it but it still won't show the 2nd episode.

What am i doing wrong?

I dont think your doing anything wrong, seeing as i have the same problem with my setup, doubles are being show as a single ep (without it saying that its a double).

I think its currently more a feature that has yet to be built in... unless of course i've missed something altogether as well.

    Double episodes for me just show the first episode in the list.

    What I would like is to maybe show the second episode too, but have it greyed out or disabled possibly? or something to show its part/grouped with the first episode?

    Where I have double episodes (eg Killpoint-S01E07E08, finale), they are displayed as episode 7 and episode 8 with the default regex's included with the plugin. Once watched (single avi) both episodes are marked as watched. Again, with the default setting of 95% mark as watched, so probable (not tested) only watching the first episode would leave both episodes unwatched...

    This is the naming structure my extract and rename app uses when it comes to double eps

    Single file for each part
    <Show_Name>\Season <Show_Season>\<Show_Name> <Show_Season>x<Episode_Number> - <Episode_Name>, Part <Part_Number>.avi
    eg: Stargate Atlantis\Season 5\SGA 05x10 - First Contact, Part I.avi
    eg: Stargate Atlantis\Season 5\SGA 05x10 - The Lost Tribe, Part II.avi

    Single file for both parts where <Episode_Name> is the same
    <Show_Name>\Season <Show_Season>\<Show_Name> <Show_Season>x<Episode_Number>-<Episode2_Number> - <Episode_Name>, Part I & II.avi
    eg: Greys Anatomy\Season 5\Greys Anatomy 05x01-02 - Dream a Little Dream of Me, Part I & II.avi

    Single file but the two episodes have different names
    <Show_Name>\Season <Show_Season>\<Show_Name> <Show_Season>x<Episode_Number>-<Episode2_Number> - <Episode_Name>, <Episode2_Name>.avi
    eg: Greys Anatomy\Season 2\Greys Anatomy 02x26-27 - Deterioration Of The Fight Or Flight Response, Losing My Religion.avi

    These are the three parsing strings that i'm currently using:

    (?<series>[\w .,'!&$]*)\\[\w .,'!&$]*\\[\w .,'!&$]*(?<season>[0-9]{2})[x](?([0-9]{2}-[0-9]{2})(?<episode>[0-9]{2})-(?<episode2>[0-9]{2})|(?<episode>[0-9]{2})).{3}(?<title>[^$]*?)\.(?<ext>[^.]*)

    (?<series>[\w .,'!&$]*)\\[\w .,'!&$]*(?<season>[0-9]{2})[x](?([0-9]{2}-[0-9]{2})(?<episode>[0-9]{2})-(?<episode2>[0-9]{2})|(?<episode>[0-9]{2})).{3}(?<title>[^$]*?)\.(?<ext>[^.]*)

    (?<series>[\w .,'!&$]*)\\[\d]*\\[\w .,'!&$]*(?<season>[0-9]{4})[x](?<episode>[0-9]{2})(?([ - ])(?<title>[^$]*?))\.(?<ext>[^.]*)

    After all that i think my parsing strings aren't setup to handle the double eps...... :oops:

    EDIT: realised that i fogot the folder paths

    OK, i think i know what my problem is....

    It doesn't appear to have the ability to assign two individual episode names (i dont know how big of a problem this is, i thought i had a fairly standard way of organising my tv shows, but it would appear that no one else has asked the question).

    I've asking in the Expressions/Rules Request thread to see if someone can give me a diffinate answer, but it is working to a extent (showing them as single eps with the first ep title).
