I also have an issue with stacking DVD folder rips... I followed the instructions at
http://kodi.wiki/view/File_stacking#Spli...tacking.29
My structure is:
Amadeus (1984) DVD1\VIDEO_TS\(IFOs, BUPs, VOBs)
Amadeus (1984) DVD2\VIDEO_TS\(IFOs, BUPs, VOBs)
Kodi does not stack them and it detects them as "Video Clip (2007)." I have run through all the options listed in the wiki for "CD" or "Disc" etc. If I just leave one of the folder names "Amadeus (1984)" that movie is scanned into the database perfectly, but of course it is only the first disc. If I name them "Amadeus (1984) Disc 1" and "Amadeus (1984) Disc 2" Kodi can't scrape them at all, which is somehow better than detecting them as "video clip."
My "solution" has been to let Kodi skip over them and then go into File List and manually update the Movie Information so that they both appear in the library as "Amadeus," after which I can rename how they appear in the Library to be "Amadeus Disc 1" and "Amadeus Disc 2," so I know what I'm going to watch, but obviously they are not stacked.
As an aside, there are no menus, and this is not truly a two disc set. I bought this disc before dual layer DVDs were being manufactured en masse, You actually had to take the disc out and flip it over, like a record.
Also. I do realize I can make an MKV or another format out of these, but that is not what I am looking to do. I do have reasons why I want to keep my titles in VIDEO_TS. Is there a way to manually create a stack aside from using some kind of coding?
Thanks in advance to anyone who might have a suggestion.
