There are at least two things which are not really the best about the method described in this thread.
1. Haven't seen this - but someone mentioned that if there are too many episodes on one disc - there are some problems
2. When you select watched flag - all episodes from disk are being selected - which is a bit annoying
This happens when I had directory called like this:
Code:
D:\tv.test\JAG\Season 1\S1E1E2E3E4
I solved the problem for issue 2 - and I believe it will solve also issue 1 problem...
The idea is to use junction/symbolic links.
First I renamed my directory to:
Code:
D:\tv.test\JAG\Season 1\S1E1
Then I made one junction per episode pointing to the location of DVD files:
Code:
mklink /j "D:\tv.test\JAG\Season 1\S1E2" "D:\tv.test\JAG\Season 1\S1E1"
mklink /j "D:\tv.test\JAG\Season 1\S1E3" "D:\tv.test\JAG\Season 1\S1E1"
mklink /j "D:\tv.test\JAG\Season 1\S1E4" "D:\tv.test\JAG\Season 1\S1E1"
When listing directory contents it shows now:
Code:
Directory of D:\tv.test\JAG\Season 1
28/02/2015 00:28 <DIR> .
28/02/2015 00:28 <DIR> ..
28/02/2015 00:28 <DIR> S1E1
28/02/2015 00:25 <JUNCTION> S1E2 [D:\tv.test\JAG\Season 1\S1E1]
28/02/2015 00:28 <JUNCTION> S1E3 [D:\tv.test\JAG\Season 1\S1E1]
28/02/2015 00:28 <JUNCTION> S1E4 [D:\tv.test\JAG\Season 1\S1E1]
After updating library in Kodi - I can see 4 episodes - each one start of course the same DVD files.
But I can now mark "watched" flag for each of them separately.
And I am quite sure that If I would have 20 episodes on the same disk - 20 links would work just like my 3 above.
