Single File - Double Episode


MP-TVSeries can support 2 episodes in a single file.

More than 2 is not currently supported

 

See examples below

  • Alias.1x01.1x02.avi
  • Alias S01E01-E02.avi
  • Alias S01E01 + S01E02.avi
  • Alias - s01e01 - s01e02.mkv
  • Alias #1.01 + #1.02.avi

If you start playback on 1x01 from "Alias - S01E01-E02.avi", then both episodes will be played, the end result is both episode 1 and 2 will be marked as watched. You can still start playback on 1x02, but it will start at the beginning of the file (but this is what one would expect anyway). If you start 1x01, but stop at the halfway point where 1x02 begins, then both 1x01+02 show as unwatched and when you try to restart playback you will get the "resume from" dialog

If you have a file that contains more than two episodes you can split the mkv file

(or)

 

Have the original mkv file as part 1

 

Then create symbolic links (fake files) for the reamining 2 parts

mklink "c:\archer S00E04.mkb" "c:\archer S00E05.mkv"

mklink /h "c:\archer S00E04.mkb" "c:\archer S00E06.mkv"

 

not sure if you need the /h or not, so you need to experiment
