The Android TV and Android Plex clients do not support multi part files with the new player. This is a must have feature in my opinion.

Thanks for the clarification @TeknoJunky . I renamed the thread and indicated “split files”. Note that this name was originally suggested by @anon18523487 :face_with_monocle: but the thread is referring to split files.

Sorry the above definition is incorrect. The documentation refers to both “stacked” and “split” files. They are supposed to be the same thing. The little blue number appears when you have “multiple versions” of a video.

[image] TeknoJunky: there seems some confusion in terminology; stacked files = multiple copies of the same video (has the number in the corner), like having a 720 and 1080 version, or theatrical/extended/directors cut. multi-part files = multiple episodes together in a single file split files …
