two part TV episodes in one file - general79 - 2024-10-09

I have Media Companion and its good.
I have some TV series with two —or three-part episodes. So, I put each part in one file to make a full episode instead of part one and then part two.
S05E12 The Proposal part 1
S05E13 The Proposal part 2

So, in the title of the VIDEO file, do i format it to this here S05E12E13 The Proposal

If the two episodes are in the one file, then you would name them as you describe... S05E12E13 The Proposal.mkv
If there were three episodes, then it would be... S05E12E13E14 The Proposal.mkv

As long as the numbering matches what is at the scraper site, then it should work.
Remember that this is just a name. Kodi has no idea where the episodes actually start and end, but you can add bookmarks... https://kodi.wiki/view/Bookmarks_and_chapters#Episode_bookmarks
Personally I would leave them as separate files if they are listed as separate episodes at the scraper site.

I got that.
what if they part 1-2 or 3  episodes with different title names to them.
like this

S02E07 Goodwizzle Hunting part 1
S02E08 After Party part 2

S02E07E08 - Goodwizzle Hunting part 1 After Party part 2

Kodi doesn't care what you name the file. All it is looking for is the S01E01 numbering. Everything else is irrelevant.
