Double Episodes (ie. 1x01 and 1x02 in the same file). (1 Viewer)

[csapollo]

Hi All. I've had this issue for a while but it's relatively minor but it's time I finally asked the question.

I have a fair few double episodes through each of my series, usually a season opener/finale, that has both a S01E01 and a S01E02 in the same file. My issue? It's always parsed as the first episode despite trying different naming conventions.

What is the naming string I should be using for double episodes to parse correctly? (MediaRenamer using either thetvdb or episodeworld also parse it as a single episode).

Thanks

I usually do it like this:

seriesname.s01e01-02.avi

 

[csapollo]

seriesname.s01e01-02.avi

Cool, thanks. It works but is it safe to assume there's no way for it to start half way through? I assume there's no way to accurately predict where the second episode might start in the file which would be a shame.

Currently no, we could do a guess and do it half-way but it wont be accurate. Alternatively we could have a field in the db that the user could edit to add the time the second episode starts.

At least in my experience (with new series) case is that you can't tell when the "second" episode starts even when you're watching, the whole season premiere or finale is just one episode but length is twice as big.
