File stacking - VERSEAU44 - 2020-04-22
Hi !
The file stacking algorithm seems NOT work for KODI 18 (except for DVDs that are OK)!
I followed https://kodi.wiki/view/Naming_video_files/Movies#Advanced_Stacking_Options
But since it didn't work, I applied https://kodi.wiki/view/Advancedsettings.xml#moviestacking
Besides, the regex diagram must have 4 parts: several online regex only see 3 in the diagram provided as an example
So I forced my schema to be sure of me at :
<regexp> (. *?) (part) ([0-9]) (\. [^.] +) $ </regexp>
It still didn't work so I dug and came across https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/issues/16109
But that brings up the problem for DVDs (although looking at it more closely, it also brings up the FileItem.StackFiles procedure)
SO ... in Kodi 18.6, how to name the files so that a film made up of 2 parts read these 2 parts in succession (Movie-part1.avi and Movie-part2.avi for example) ?
The only alternative found for the moment that works : import a videodb.xml which specifies
<filenameandpath> stack: // smb: //FREEBOX/HDD-FILMS/Videos/Movie-part1.avi, smb: //FREEBOX/HDD-FILMS/Videos/Movie-part2.avi </filenameandpath>
The only problem : there is 1 second visible cut when changing files
THANKS for your help !
