Multi-episode skip? or is this more of a bug?

[tom80H]

Just trying to catch up on this suggestion.
To be clear… Plex Media Server supports multiple episodes reflected in a single file. See Multiple episodes in a single file in the support article on how to name your tv-show files.

Plex will display that file as individual items – one for each episode included in that file. If you watch one of those episodes, Plex will mark all related episodes as watched and progress to the next episode (beyond the last episode within your file). If you manually trigger the playback of an item of the same file, the full episode will play again.

If your client repeats the same video, please specify which client that is – this would be more of a bug from all I can tell.

There’s an existing feature suggestion asking for a means to show those multi-episode files as a single item inside Plex (e.g. labelled as Episodes 1-2 instead of individual items for Episode 1 and Episode 2).

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.
