Stacked files in android.  
  
  
  
I would love if they worked or any kind of work around without having to manipulate the file names/locations. I haven’t had good luck with handbreak or mkv joiner. Nothing more disappointing in my plex experiences so far is trying to watch a movie in my google TV, not realizing it even has 2 parts.   
  
  
  
At least something that warned you that the movie may be incomplete.

+1. I just replaced my Roku with a Google Nexus Player (Android TV), and now I can't watched my stacked content.

This hasn't directly affected me yet, but I do have some stacked content and some of my clients are Android based. Please fix.

Please fix this! It seems that we can't use stacked content on ANY clients other than the web or PHT. It really should be included in the Android (and by extension, the Fire TV) client!

Don't just +1... you gotta "LIKE" the first post to add to the count (see the section on how the feature request voting works if you have doubts).

Not that we don't like the added support, but make it count in the right place! :D

I was really disappointed when I found out that stacked content is not available on Android. I am also surprised with only a dozen of votes for this feature request. I am pretty sure that there are lot of users that are renaming their files and losing meta tags correspondence due this failure.

I don't think a lot of PMS users understand how the voting system works and/or the significance of this issue. It affects a lot of Android based players (like Amazon Fire TV or the AFTV stick, and the Google TV player). Not being able to play multiple episodes or anything broken up into segments is a huge loss.

So the Roku player just got a "big" update recently, but the Android (including FireTV and Fire Stick) players still don't support Home or stacked (multi-part) content. What's up with that?

I have no problem manually merging videos as a workaround, but cloud sync splits large files up and reintroduces this bug. Please multiply all votes on this issue by 10.
