So, right to the point, I just encoded the two volumes of Star Wars: Clone Wars to my system. This is the 2003 microseries of animated shorts by Genndy Tartakovsky, not the recent CG series. The "episodes" come in the form of 2 DVDs: Volume 1 and Volume 2 totaling 25 episodes (20 on the first volume, 5 on the second) with an average runtime of 3 minutes. Needless to say, because the DVDs contain the shorts as chapters, rather than titles, trying to break these out into individual episodes represents an amount of work I'd just as soon avoid.
Instead, I ripped two files, one for each disk. I'm at a loss for how to name them though. I can give them a standard s01e01 and s02e01 convention, but as expected, I get the summary for only the first episode of each season inside a sub-menu of the main show menu. It plays the entirety of each just fine, but it's not the most elegant of solutions.
I tried naming the first file s01e01e02e03(etc...)e20.mkv which sort of worked except that technically Volume 1 contains seasons 1 and 2, so it kinda screws up the scraper and I get unknown episodes and/or duplicates. I could probably suss all that out with properly written NFOs, but that still leaves the issue of if I choose episode 11, it starts the whole thing over from the beginning. If I'm not mistaken, there isn't a way to tell XBMC to start playback of an item on a specific chapter.
Anyone have any creative solutions?
