Video Track from multiple files - dudecuda - 2020-03-06

I swore I had this before a recent reinstall, but perhaps I'm wrong because I can't seem to find it.

I don't use Plex much anymore, but when I did I had some of my favorite shows and movies encoded to lower resolution (mostly for streaming when out of town like at hotels, ensures my most watched content plays smoothly).

Right now, these are showing as duplicates in my collection which I can't seem to eliminate like I had before. Really what I'd want is to label them same name, with a resolution tag, and have Kodi recognize these as the same movie with say a [1080p] and a [480] video track (like multi video mkv show up in video settings).

Is there already a way to do this? Searched around but don't seem to see much in regards to multiple files merging this way

Thanks folks! Always appreciated!

No, there is no way to do this.

@XODIDOX was working on a Movie Version feature that would have allowed exactly that, but the member seems to have disappeared and we have no idea if he will return to implement the feature...

Yup, exactly what I was working for. And sadly beyond my time and skills right now to poke around with. Thanks for letting me know. Good to know I'm not the only one out there hoping for it. Maybe a clever coder will come along again, staring frustrated at their doubles like i am, and decide 'k, screw it, I'm just doing it', like I tried to Tongue

Much appreciated Smile
