[QUOTE="Octagon, post: 583567, member: 102477"] I've been playing around with various methods of pointing multiple episodes at one (ripped) dvd and I'm kind of liking this one - multiple renamed copies of VIDEO_TS.IFO. Go to a dvd directory and within that directory make one copy of VIDEO_TS.IFO per episode on that disc. Then give each of those copies a name (with an IFO extenstion ) that TV Series will associate with each of the episodes. Now you've got several different files (that can be autoimported) that will all start that same dvd. Drawbacks - the IFOs you make have to be in the directory with the rest of the dvd files (VOBS etc) so this is really only useful for dvds ripped. And while you've got multiple files that will map to different episodes they are all the same file underneath and will all start the dvd in the exact same place. You still have access to full menus but it's not quite as elegent as clicking episode X and going right to episode X. Still, it's pretty handy if you already have various series ripped to drives. The copying and renaming only take a few minutes and the fact that you can autoimport helps avoid some of the 'disappearing info' problems associated with manual imports. [/QUOTE]
