How to configure when using a film in two files. (3 Viewers)

Hi!

How should i configure the plugin to automaticly detects when a film is on 2 CD´s?
When I play a movie it just plays the first avi-file.

Example:
Rambo-cd1.avi
Rambo-cd2.avi

Put a space or _ after Rambo..
So:
Rambo cd1.avi or Rambo_cd1.avi
Rambo cd2.avi or Rambo_cd2.avi

Then MP will ask what CD to play when you select the movie....

Even in the "My films" plugin?

Enter both files (path) seperated by ";" in the field you use (e.g. URL). This should do it.

You can also put them into a playlist if you want and then reference the playlist in the Database. That is the way I went in the end

Hi,

I have a similar problem, except that the two files are burned on two separate CD's. Using semicolon or playlist does not work because the plugin finds only first part on the first inserted disc.

Is there a way to set it so that the second disc is asked when the first one is played?

...Or can someone confirm if I am trying to do something that is not possible?

As Thaclown said cd1 cd2 should work fine, one automatically playing after the other, mine are in there own folder named after the movie with the dvd cover jpg inside named folder, and no problems.

Sorry, I am a newbie with MediaPortal, have been using MyHTPC until now. So the cd1 and cd2 in filename are the magic words that are needed? Unfortunately my collection has been burned like this:

<title>.<ext>
<title>, part 2.<ext>

Eg. first disc is labeled CD 178 and there is one file in root folder:

Beverly Hills Cop.avi

And second disc is labeled CD 179 with one file in root folder:

Beverly Hills Cop, part 2.avi

MyHTPC and MyOMP plugin used metadata files to store the information about discs and their labels and it never occurred to my mind that this naming would cause me problems later. Ideas, anybody?
