Multi-Episode Files?
posted by pricejn2STAFFMOD on January 29, 2019 at 9:43 PM
I started updating Season 1 to reflect the general standard of this series to use multi-episode files, but then the Contribution Bible made me question whether that was kosher. Season 2 is a mixed bag so confused what the preferred approach is.

I'm sorry, but multiepisodes for kids cartoon should always be split into separate segments. See my question on the same subject I made 2 month ago when I first came to TMDB. I know it's a pain as there is no real support for split multiepisodes on any major multimedia app (AFAIK only Emby can manage it in some reasonable way). I personally use Plex and as a solution I have to change the names of my files to skip each other episode segment (i.e. S01E01, S01E03, S01E05...). It is far from ideal (e.g. it doesn't work well with trakt.tv and I have to explain my kids why there is only a half of the show :-) ), but it is the only way that works for me.

Okay, thanks for the feedback. Is there an easy way to revert my edits or is individually the way to go? And yeah, Plex here as well. I named using the s01e01-e02.mp4 approach, but I think yours makes more sense (otherwise kids ask why the same episode plays twice in a row...).

Please revert them individually if you can. The only person who could batch reverse edits is currently on vacation.

Roger that. Titles and Descriptions for Season 1 Eps 1-12 are switched back to reflect separate segments.
