[QUOTE="loinbread, post: 486398, member: 95969"] Huh, nobody else cares about this issue? I would have thought management of split or double episodes would have been a core feature of MPTV. Oh well. Here's a workaround I am currently using, rather simple really (but still not ideal, for example it doesn't contain any video data such as aspect ratio or codec): create a M3U playlist linking to all of your files. In the case of Ren and Stimpy... [code]Season 1 (1991-1992)\1x01a - Stimpy's Big Day.avi Season 1 (1991-1992)\1x01b - The Big Shot.avi[/code] The file is then saved as "1x01 - Stimpy's Big Day ~ The Big Shot.m3u". Also, for multiple episodes stored in the same file I use AviSplit Classic to seperate the files. You could also feasibly use it to combine episodes instead of using the playlist method, but you may not all be using AVI as the container and it is also very time consuming. Really, the best way to solve the problem would be for the plugin to handle split files the same way MovingPictures does, by allowing files with the same name in a folder (but with a different number assigned to each) to be treated as a single record. For example, "Lord of the Rings-1.avi" and "Lord of the Rings-2.avi" in the folder "Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring" would be played sequentially without any additional fuss. [/QUOTE]
