Multi-Episode Handling

[tom80H]

Enabling plex to assign multiple episode tags to the same file, and list it only once would be nice.

Currently, episodes marked S01E03-E04-E05 show up as episode 3, episode 4, and episode 5, and if you watch any of those “episodes”, you see all 3.

Having plex mark it simply as Episode 3, Episode 4, Episode 5 in the UI would make it much cleaner, and more efficient.

There’s already an existing feature suggestion discussing such an option. I suggest you comment/vote in that thread in order to help us avoid distracting or cannibalizing votes. Unless I’m missing some unique aspect of your suggestion I’ll close this thread as a duplicate.

Display single file multi episode shows in a single item

a way to have Plex display single file multi episode shows in a single item, ex: episode name, Episode 1-2, instead of duplicating it in the display and playing the full file twice. Instead of having to split the files, or only having one of the episodes in the file name, making it seem like im missing something. also: ability to show multi part movies in a way that makes sense, like part 1 and 2 under the same Title, instead of showing it as if there was a duplicate movie.

side note:

…episodes marked S01E03-E04-E05 show up as episode 3, episode 4, and episode 5…

That’s only partially true… the correct naming for that particular multi-episode file example is S01E03-E05
