IF file contains more than 1 episode AND DOES play through = “mark all Episides with same filename as watched”; DO play unplayed episode. OR IF file contains more than 1 episode AND DOES NOT play through, set “continue hh:mm:ss” for all library items with the same filename.
That way you can continue where you left off from any of the episodes in the multi file
Even if its a range of Episodes in a single file, the Library knows the filename for those episodes is a match for the one that just got marked as played and should SKIP to the next un-played episode (file) not the next in the library.
This way it doesn’t even matter how many episodes are in a single file. There are some web series that an entire season of 5 minute episodes is in one file. (The Guild) It’d be neat to have the season marked as watched when you watch the whole file.
And if you don’t finish an episode completely have all episodes in the library tied to that file respect the continue where I left off time.
Lot’s of edits but i think that would solve the issue entirely.
Personally I don’t like the splitting of episodes.
I would prefer it to say E01-E02. The problem I was having was it would list both episodes separately, but play both full length.
What I did was separate it
eg. Animal Kingdom S01 E01 - E02
This shows only E01 then E03, skips E02. The only downside to this is it doesn’t give 2 summaries and episode titles. So usually I manually add it in.
In the case of Doctor Who specials it was more fun. Those went like this.
eg. Doctor Who S00 E002 - The Christmas Invasion
Doctor Who S00 E148 - The Husbands Of River Song
Tried this for Hinterland, but it didn’t work for me. I guess Plex is pulling data from TheTVDB, which has the show as three 8-episode seasons, even though each episode is actually a 90 minute two-parter.
