[QUOTE="RoChess, post: 757410, member: 18896"] [b]Re: AW: Expressions/Rules requests[/b] Then just split the files up. TheTVdB works based on aired order, so you obviously did not get aired episodes, but some other type of medium. There is no support to launch episode X and playback a file and know where the jump point to the start of that episode is, if it is part of a media file containing multiple episodes. There are a ton of tools available that will split the files up for you, and it hardly takes time because you do not re-encode the codecs, but you simply remux them into a different container. Since you are splitting it is easiest to use a GUI tool for it, so you can visually check the keyframe you want to split on. It is possible to split on a non-keyframe segment, but that would be foolish. Another way is to use softlinks or hardlinks, if you have Vista+ you can use mlink for this, or download the SysInternal tool (now Microsoft) to create them for Windows 2000/XP. There is actually a forum thread on how to do this. In short it creates a 0-byte link to the same media file with a different name. So you can end up with: Actual media file S01E01+02.avi Hardlink to that media file S01E03.avi and the same file with be used for all 3 episodes. But when you launch them they will always start at the beginning, so you waste time skipping to the part where the episode in question starts, which is why splitting is always more benificial.
