I just purchased Zack Snyders Justic League and imediately ripped it and put it on my server. I named the files Zack Snyders Justice League-dvd1.m4v and Zack Snyders Justice League-dvd2.m4v.
When I go to stream the movies shows it as 4h 2m which is correct. During the first disk I can fast forward and reverse, but when the second disk is playing I cannot.
Also when the second disk is playing the progress bar shows the incorrect information (see attached picture).
TV=Plex for LG — LG 65NANO91VNA
Server= Version 1.26.2.5797 (RPi4)
Just wondering what I have missed as this is the first time I have attempted split movies. My only other option is to join the 2 volumes to make one contiguous file.
Join them. Not all Plex clients handle split file well.
From Naming and organizing your Movie files: However, to get a better overall experience, we encourage you to instead use a tool to join/merge the individual files into a single video
Joining is easy with MKVToolNix. The output will be a MKV file.
If you need mp4/m4v, you can remux the combined file with XMedia Recode, Subler (Mac), or similar tools.
You can also use ffmpeg if you’re OK with command line tools: ffmpeg -i input.mkv -map 0 -c copy output.mp4
Remuxing is fast, as the tracks are copied, not re-transcoded.
OK, I’ve elected to join the 2 files using ffmpeg.
Not to others using this method.
Use this method when you want to avoid a re-encode and your format does not support file-level concatenation (most files used by general users do not support file-level concatenation).
