I do have some movies in the following naming schema:

Code:
...\In 80 Tagen Um Die Welt 1956\
...\In 80 Tagen Um Die Welt 1956\In 80 Tagen Um Die Welt part1 1956.iso
...\In 80 Tagen Um Die Welt 1956\In 80 Tagen Um Die Welt part2 1956.iso

or

...\1900 1976 [HD]\
...\1900 1976 [HD]\1900 part1 1976 [HD].iso
...\1900 1976 [HD]\1900 part2 1976 [HD].iso

or

...\Der Hobbit 01 Eine Unerwartete Reise 2012 [3D]\
...\Der Hobbit 01 Eine Unerwartete Reise 2012 [3D]\Der Hobbit 01 Eine Unerwartete Reise part1 2012 [3D].iso
...\Der Hobbit 01 Eine Unerwartete Reise 2012 [3D]\Der Hobbit 01 Eine Unerwartete Reise part2 2012 [3D].iso

Both parts of the first movie are recognized as two individual movies (option several movies in one dir is off).

The second and third movie are ignored completely by TMM.

I thought that partx can be placed anywhere in a filename. Is this wrong?

Thanks.
the stacking indicator has to be at the end of the file name.
otherwise no software could distinguish between

The Hangover (2009) - Part1.avi
The Hangover (2009) - Part2.avi (multi file movie)

and

The Hangover: Part II (2011).avi (single file movie)

according to the Kodi wiki you should also take care about:

Quote:# can be 1 through 9 or A through D. No spaces between the extension and number.
​part#​
​cd#​
​dvd#​
​pt#​
​disk#​
​disc#​
another FYI:
with 2.8 i completely reworte the logic.
It should now correctly identify multipart files from single movies...
You might want to try latest pre-release (or wait a few days - release already planned)

Upon renaming, we put the stacking marker at the end, so that Kodi is satisfied...
Thanks for your answers.

Just one note to mlaggner: "Part II" is no valid stacking indicator. "part1/part2" is a stacked movie, "Part II" is a single movie. So everything should be fine with your examples.

As long noone uses partx for a single movie everythings ok.
