many tv show episodes on bluray have their own playlist, so you should be able to map them directly using the simplified blu-ray menu
i wish there was a "map to this episode" button in that menu
I think the issue here is that bookmarks only point to a timestamp in the video, while blurays are using playlists.

playlist basically points to what the blu-ray java menu plays, playlist is also a simpler method
you can do something like a button with "mark as episode 1" or "remember as episode 1" popup after the playing of the playlist is done
With episode bookmarks if the ISO is a multiepisode you can add an episode bookmark so when you click the episode from the list it will start the playlist you want directly skipping the menu (right now it fails only with simplified menu because of a bug:
https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/pull/7017)
Btw bookmarks points to whatever you want. You can set how many bookmarks you want for every playlist you want and they will all be displayed in the bookmark dialog so it's by far the simplest method

Imho is actually better because if you put it in the simplified menu:
a) it only works if you have that enabled
b) if you don't know what playlist is the right one (like usually it is) you have to enter, chose one, try, stop playing, go back and enter again only to mark it. With episode bookmarks after you found it there's no need to return and you can also continue to play the episode if you want
how about meeting half way?
add the ability to map to bd playlist in nfo file
tvepisode.nfo
Code:
<episodebdplaylist>
<episode1>BDMV\PLAYLIST\00051.mpls</episode1>
<episode2>BDMV\PLAYLIST\00052.mpls</episode2>
<episode3>BDMV\PLAYLIST\00053.mpls</episode3>
</episodebdplaylist>
I'm not sure if I explained myself well or not.. Episode bookmarks (my version) is already available in kodi since frodo at least for multiple ISO episodes. I'm not sure if it make sense to add another method to get the same result you can already achieve with episode bookmarks
would still be nice to have an alternative direct playlist mapping in nfo file
nfo file is stored with the file, bookmarks are stored in database
One method is enough. Dealing with .nfo outside of the actual BDMV structure is cumbersome nd should be avoided when/where possible.
anyway found a pretty simple solution and that is to use strm files to basicly point to the playlist

One problem with that .strm method (at least in v16rc3) is that the information with the show and episode title and thumbnail etc. are missing from the playback overlay. see post with screengrabs at:
