Just interested and I guess its stacking.

I have the last two episodes of Star Trek TNG, a two parter. They have played through flawlessly, I set nothing so I am guessing somewhere in the erm, 'obtained' files it knew to play part two. But not only play, play it from after the 'what happened before' and opening sequence.

How does it do this?

Magic. See FileSystem/StackDirectory.h/cpp and CApplication:layStack() in Application.cpp.

Heh, and probably even more of a help will be the documentation:

Ah, just noticed the two shows is a single file in the folder. That would probably explain, however its picked up as both episodes in the NFOs, and displayed as such. but pressing part two plays part one.

No magic at all!

Nicer to think there might be magic though. Ho hum.

During playback, set an episode bookmark at the start of the second part.

Not magic by any stretch, but it does the job.

EDIT: I wonder if we could semi-magic it by breaking it up time-wise (then to the nearest keyframe?) It wouldn't be perfect, but it'd probably be reasonably close?
