Or keeping files stored at a comfortable size to be ready to copy to cd/dvd/flash or whatever portable media. Compatibility with FAT and other old filesystems or devices.

Moreover, XBMC already has the file stacking support for movie-files (link), so it's hardly a big new feature, and shouldn't be too hard to implement it for TV episodes as well (coming from a non-software developers point of view).(2013-12-30, 11:11)Ned Scott Wrote: It's probably a limitation of the file system it uses? I've seen some devices do that before.That still makes it a bad design.
