Example... I have Gotham season 3... double episode with the last 2 episodes 21 and 22.
So I know to make it
S03E21E22 - name of episode.mkv
But what should I actually use for the name of the episode since these are listed as 2 separate episodes on thetvdb?... with completely different names... as in not a part 1 and part 2.
Or do I leave the name blank and let MC3 handle it?
EDIT>>>I'm even more confused... I just checked my Seinfeld collection where I knew there were some double episodes.
Season 9... the last 4 episodes.
These are my files
S09E21-S09E22 - The Clip Show (a.k.a. The Chronicle).mpg
S09E23-S09E24 - The Finale.mpg
When I look at these in Kodi they are listed as four separate episodes.
21 and 22 are both the same file when played and 23 and 24 are the same as well.
Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong here?
As a filename can only get one episode title, it is usually the first episode in a multi-episode file. Also, at present, only the image from the first episode is stored.
In Kodi, While you will see two entries, eg if filename is S09E21E22, in Kodi you will see Episode 21 and then Episode 22, each episode will have its own plot etc details.
BUT, Kodi will play it as one continuous file as it is one file.
So once played in Kodi, both EP 21 & 22 will get checked as watched.
No way around this as no way of knowing where the split between episodes is.
Alternatively, you can find a Video Splitter program and split each episode it its own file.
BTW, recommend format of SxxExxExxExx etc for naming of multi-episode file.
