There has been a lot of discussion of the years around multi-episode file handling and metadata. Largely this works well for true two part episodes. However many kid programs are 22 minutes with individual 11 minute episodes back to back. These are not two part episodes, but individual episodes contained in the same 30 minute TV block. Plex’s handling of these often results in the two concurrent episodes between displayed as E01 and E02 (same file) resulting in playing the same two episodes back to back.
Emby has a very elegant solution for these specific shows and consolidates the Metadata and Episode listings to be Episode 1 and 2 with a single entry point via the UI.
I recognize this is a specific use case that largely effects kids shows, but unlike regular programming with occasional multi-part episodes, almost all childrens shows have a structure like this.
