Hello-
A lot of threads on this subject end up with people saying 'why are you doing that? just transcode instead...', etc, etc.
I'd really rather not do that for a number of reasons.
The problems i'm seeing aren't identical to any of the threads i've found, either.
I have a few videos that are split into two dvds. I've named them appropriately and kodi seems to identify them as together and stack them in the source:
And from the context menu in the movie listing, i can 'play part' then select the correct part.
Side note- From the main 'movies' listing of 'recently added', the context menu does not give this option. Not sure if it is supposed to, but it would be nice if it did.
The main thing is, when playing them, i always get a black screen endlessly after the first video completes. Experimentation shows that i'm actually on the first dvd's navigation, but the screen remains black (if you click around and hit enter, you'll get the screen back in one of the dvd menus)
Example log from Gettysburg An example is here (doesn't show getting menu back, just shows black screen playing first title again):

Example log from Das Boot is here; this one includes the video recovery to the menu screens by selecting a menu button (while on the blacked out screen):

thoughts?
