Hello,
I have Kodi 15.2 frontends on various devices (with Tvheadend as one backend serving all). Before, I had used VDR (on a modded Siemens Gigaset M740 DVB-T box) as backend and thus have several movies archived on my NAS (Synology ds214se) in the following folder/file structure:
/Movies
-----/From_Hell
----------/2014-08-31.02.25.50.99.rec
---------------/001.vdr
---------------/002.vdr
---------------/index.vdr
---------------/info.vdr
All movies with a file size >2 GB appear as split "001.vdr", "002.vdr" files and only as one "001.vdr" file if <2 GB. The "index.vdr" file has to do with the rewind/fast-forward functionality and that works flawlessly even in case of split movies (i.e. there is no gap/interrupt). I did not even have to concatenate the split files in order to watch the complete movie. The "info.vdr" file contains information on the movie in plain text and comes from the original VDR backend as well.
Now how do I achieve proper scraping of such (archived) movies, e.g. with the Universal Scraper? I understand that I could get rid of the "index.vdr" and "info.vdr" files (if these files disturbed the scraper), because I do not need them anymore.
For proper scraping results:
1. (How) do I have to adjust the folder/file structure?
2. Do I have to concatenate split movies ("001.vdr", "002.vdr") to one (e.g. "new.vdr") file?
3. Do I have to adjust the "advancedsettings.xml" file? (e.g. using stacking? or something else?)
Thanks a lot for your help.
