Hi there,
i believe Multi-Episodes are not properly supported right now, is that correct?
I have the following two examples:
Lost - S06E17-E18 - The End.mkv
Under the Dome - S03E01-E02 - Move On - But I'm Not.mkv
Particularly interesting here is that one has no second title while the other has.
It seems there can't be different thumbs assigned to both.
Unless you manually edit the *.nfo file like below:
<thumb>file:/Z:\TV Shows\Lost (2004)\Season 06\Episode 01-02\Lost - S06E01 - LA X-thumb.jpg</thumb>
<thumb>file:/Z:\TV Shows\Lost (2004)\Season 06\Episode 01-02\Lost - S06E02 - LA X-thumb.jpg</thumb>
<thumb>file:/Z:\TV Shows\Under the Dome (2013)\Season 03\Episode 01-02\Under the Dome - S03E01 - Move On-thumb.jpg</thumb>
<thumb>file:/Z:\TV Shows\Under the Dome (2013)\Season 03\Episode 01-02\Under the Dome - S03E02 - But I'm Not-thumb.jpg</thumb>
And manually add the above mentioned thumbs.
Quick fix for the issue until it makes it into a new release.
However... i would prefer a different approach. The episode is one single file and it should be displayed as such.
At the moment you will see two entries for this episode (01 and 02) in Kodi, they do have different thumbs now (as we just learned), different titles (if applicable) and generally separated meta within one single *.nfo file.
I propose to merge them -if possible- to something like this:
<title>Move On + But I'm Not</title>
<showtitle>Under the Dome</showtitle>
<rating>5.833 / 7.0</rating>

This way it should show as one entry within Kodi but with two episode numbers and titles, yet one thumb.
How does that sound?
