Add support for multi-part video files that are indicated as supported in Plex documentation as detailed and described in the following initial bug report.

> Server Version#: 1.28.1.6104 Player Version#: 1.23.2.3194 Desktop OS: Windows 10 21H2 When playing Split File Movies, Plex HTPC fails to properly switch to the next part of the film. Part1 will play successfully, but once Part2 hits, Plex HTPC will lose audio for the film and the progress bar will remain full. I’ve tried this with multiple movies and files on multiple computers and it consistently fails. I would provide logs if necessary, but the issue is easily repeatable…any 2 files mark…

Making this a Feature Request as the Bug report was closed as being noted as “not supported”, so please make it supported.

I will support this even if it seems no one else will.

I’ve a bunch of multipart movies, and discovered that even though Roku, Android, WebOS and Plex for Windows all support them, Plex HTPC doesn’t.

I can’t find a single Plex client that does everything I want anymore, and was really hoping Plex HTPC would be the answer. Alas, today I’ve discovered it is not.

If I could find a decent HTPC client for Jellyfin, I’d switch at this point.
