Actually, file stacking is working quite well with most files, like:

'Kokowääh (2011).nfo'
'Kokowääh (2011) part1.ts'
'Kokowääh (2011) part2.ts'
'Kokowääh (2011) part3.ts'

The nfo file is created during library export.
But, with the following files it does not work:

'Männerherzen (2009) part1.nfo'
'Männerherzen (2009) part1.ts'
'Männerherzen (2009) part2.nfo'
'Männerherzen (2009) part2.ts'
'Männerherzen (2009) part3.nfo'
'Männerherzen (2009) part3.ts'
'Männerherzen... und die ganz ganz große Liebe (2011) part1.nfo'
'Männerherzen... und die ganz ganz große Liebe (2011) part1.ts'
'Männerherzen... und die ganz ganz große Liebe (2011) part2.nfo'
'Männerherzen... und die ganz ganz große Liebe (2011) part2.ts'
'Männerherzen... und die ganz ganz große Liebe (2011) part3.nfo'
'Männerherzen... und die ganz ganz große Liebe (2011) part3.ts'

Is this because these two videos start with the same string "Männerherzen"?
Can I make it working, e.g. by changing some setting?

Yes, there is "This feature can only be used when Movie Folders are used.". And yes, I tried Movie Folders.

But, if I browse a directory, I want to see the folders first, and then the files. Which does not work, if I use Movie Folders, because the system does not distinguish between "Movie Folders" (which are, from my point of view, files) and other folders.

So, I thought a small change in the regexp used to identify stack files could solve my problem.

Possibly. I think the current regex is a bit greedy and works best when Movie Folders are used. Here is the regex...

Hi,

I checked "(.*?)([ _.-]*(?:cd|dvd|p(??:ar)?t)|dis[ck])[ _.-]*[0-9]+)(.*?)(\.[^.]+)$" on https://regexr.com/ , and this regexp is just fine .
Group 1 evaluates as "Männerherzen (2009)" for my first movie, and "Männerherzen... und die ganz ganz große Liebe (2011)" for the second one.
Also the other groups are as expected, for all "part1.ts", "part2.ts" and "part3.ts".

So, it's unclear to me why stacking does not work for these files. If all files are combined where "Group 1" has the same value, it should work.
@Karellen , thanks for your help and hints.
As this is not officially supported, and I cannot solve it with another regexp, I will accept the current behavior.

Works fine here with







In Files view parts are combined



In Movies - Title view movies grouped as a set



Movies in the set

Thank you for testing.
Seems to be related to my 32 bit rpi3.
On my 64 bit Intel system, it also works.
