I have some multi episode files and after renaming them according to
https://kodi.wiki/view/Naming_video_file...i-Episodes
I have two entries for each file - one for each episode. I added the <epbookmark> tag in the nfo file for these episodes which works good as expected.

Are there more xml element tags available to optimize multi episode files?
I think of a tag for stopping the first episode after reaching the timecode which could be set before epbookmark sets the start of the second episode.
Good to have would be a tag with a timecode where kodi should make a thumbnail. Currently all multi episode files have the same thumbnail from the first episode.

I would say in general there's a need for developer interest in improving features for managing bookmarks (including episode bookmarks).

That's why we have the "recommended" way to store your files: https://kodi.wiki/view/Naming_video_file...how_Folder

Not saying that other ways won't work as well. But we recommend something else.

For my part, I use the Media Companion program to build / scrape my nfo files. It handles multi-episode files but doesn't set the <epbookmark> so I do that within Kodi by FFWing to the start of the each episode and setting the bookmark from full screen video.   Kodi captures a thumb when a bookmark is created and the bookmark/thumb info is stored in the video database but that info isn't exported and there's no JSON ability for an add-on script to get or set it either.  You can only get it by directly accessing the database.  You can't do anything in the http server/chorus.  Skin can only access bookmarks for the now playing video.
