diaz1510 150 Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 I've got a few movies that are split into multiple parts, usually only 2 but some have a few more. What is the naming format for movies that are split so that it MB recognizes it. I've tried these variations but MB web client only sees the "pt 2" part: All split parts are placed within parent folder "movie" movie - pt1 movie - pt2 movie-pt1 movie-pt2 movie - pt 1 movie - pt 2 movie.pt.1 movie.pt.2 Is it the same for TV episodes that are split as well?

diaz1510 150 Posted September 21, 2014 Author Share Posted September 21, 2014 cool, thanks...tried each way and it still only shows part 2...part 1 doesnt show...not sure whats going on. I have both parts in the parent folder and tried the "- partX" format and part 1 still doesnt show.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 14903 Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 Can you explain more of what you mean by "doesn't show"? A picture is worth a 1000 words . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diaz1510 150 Posted September 21, 2014 Author Share Posted September 21, 2014 Folder content. Keep in mind I've tried every variation of "ptX" extension. Here is what it looks like when I select that file. Notice only part 2 shows in the episode list. It will only play part 2 And here is the file in Metadata Manager. It shows part 1 under "path" and in the left column, wont let me see any files under the subfolder RESTREPO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37008 Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 it is functioning as expected in the web client, at least for now. clicking play should start pt 1. pt 2 needs to be played individually. we will eventually make this seamless so that they're all blended together.

diaz1510 150 Posted September 21, 2014 Author Share Posted September 21, 2014 Okay, UPDATE: When I click on the Play button in the upper portion of the screen (next to the poster image) it will play part 1. And, as it says, the ADDITIONAL part will play part 2... I guess functionally it works as it's supposed to and I was merely using it wrong. To be honest though, it would be better, in my opinion, if both parts showed in the lower section.... Is there a way to accomplish this? Apologies for my lack of awareness of how it was set up though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diaz1510 150 Posted September 21, 2014 Author Share Posted September 21, 2014 lol, seems we responded at teh same time...thanks for the update and I'm glad you guys are constatntly striving to make it a better product. Keep up the good work. While I've got you on here, I had another post that asked why the web client media player stutters SOOOO bad. I can't even watch anything through it. I've tried every setting i can thnk of and even used different browsers but its all teh same... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 14903 Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 This is what I suspected was going on . It does say "Additional" parts but I understand your confusion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MindBullet 56 Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 Hey guys, I just wanted to revive this topic. Wouldn't it be possible for stacked files to be a single item? I don't wanna be sir cryalot, but that's how it is on Plex. If I have multi parts on Plex the first part is playing and when it ends the video buffers and the 2nd part starts immediately in the same window without the user having to do anything. And it's shown as a single episode/movie over there. It would be much more convenient than having 2, 3, or more single entries for each part.

Luke 37008 Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 Yes that's what it should be, we just haven't gotten there yet. It's something that has been on our to do list for quite some time, but with the number of people using this feature very small there's seemingly always something more important, and that's more or less why it's not done yet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you can count +1 for the priority I'm really looking forward for you to implementing it. I have quite a ton of stuff on my server and also quite a bunch multi files episodes, so I really would love to see them all as a single item Anyways huge props for the multi episode files (01x02x03) which is working awesome! I missed that on Plex! Good job on that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baileyby 2 Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 I was also unable to get multi-part movies to play seamlessly (in this case, a 2-sided DVD). However, I found this really simple way to merge my two files using FFMEG that ships with emby (i.e. it's fast, free, and doesn't require installing any other software): K:\Movies\Robin Hood Prince of Thieves (1991)>"C:\Users\Family\AppData\Roaming\MediaBrowser-Server\ffmpeg\20160410\ffmpeg.exe" -i "Robin Hood Prince of Thieves (1991)-dvd1.m4v" -c copy -bsf:v h264_mp4toannexb "part1.ts" K:\Movies\Robin Hood Prince of Thieves (1991)>"C:\Users\Family\AppData\Roaming\MediaBrowser-Server\ffmpeg\20160410\ffmpeg.exe" -i "Robin Hood Prince of Thieves (1991)-dvd2.m4v" -c copy -bsf:v h264_mp4toannexb "part2.ts" K:\Movies\Robin Hood Prince of Thieves (1991)>"C:\Users\Family\AppData\Roaming\MediaBrowser-Server\ffmpeg\20160410\ffmpeg.exe" -i concat:"part1.ts|part2.ts" -c copy -bsf:a aac_adtstoasc "Robin Hood Prince of Thieves (1991).m4v" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KellyEmby 10 Posted November 21, 2023 Share Posted November 21, 2023 How to name episode files with multiple parts? For me to fix the problem where TheTVDB has one episode that was later broken into multiple episodes: 1) I copy the episodes into their folder (for me it is usually series, I don't know about movies yet) 2) Then I click the name title (i.e., “S1:E1 – The Murder of Sherlock Holmes”), that brings up additional information about that episode 3) Then under “Media Info” I click “Split Versions Apart”, that separates all the versions, click OK 4) Now “Edit Metadata” for the separated versions to the order you wish Maybe the “Split Versions Apart” is a recent fix, only found this feature a few months ago where I used it a few times for a different problem where I had multiple versions of the same episode. I will remember this feature!! Thank you Emby!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We recommend joining the files for the best experience possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KellyEmby 10 Posted November 22, 2023 Share Posted November 22, 2023 Okay. I can get the video file joined, but how do I join the srt files?? subtitles are required. I have found this way that when the ending credits of part 1 comes up we don't think the episode is done the jump the the next one, missing part 2. How do I add the part 2 srt file to the end of part 1 srt file? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pwhodges 1523 Posted November 22, 2023 Share Posted November 22, 2023 You can use Subtitle Edit to shift the times of the second file and then merge with the first; finding the necessary offset precisely enough might be a little tedious. It would probably be easier to embed the subtitles in the video containers using MKVToolNix, and then append the episodes which will append the included subs; you can extract the subs from the combined file afterwards if you need them to be separate. (It may be possible to do the merge and append in a single step, but I'm not sure if the sub timing would be handled correctly in that case.)

Paul It also re-times any chapter points as well - on the external SRT timing - a good question. If it doesn't, then just add the SRT to each MKV part (making it internal) and then append them both together - but I'm hoping it would be intelligent enough to do this and the external SRT's in one step..
