Multipart-Movies only recognized once

On my TimeCapsule i have a split movie (2 hourst split)

/Movies/Ein gutes Jahr (1)/Ein gutes Jahr 1.mkv

/Movies/Ein gutes Jahr (2)/Ein gutes Jahr.m4v

 

Unfortunately only the second part is recognized in Infuse. It is tagged correctly, but i am missing the second half. How can i get infuse to recognize the Movie twice and tag it correclty?

Hopefully someone from the development team will help you out, but I've found the easiest way to deal with multipart movies is to remux them with mkvtoolnix: MKVToolNix - Bunkus.org

I had some multi-part movies that infuse would list twice (they were in the same folder named filename-a.avi and filename-b.avi for example). I couldn't work out a way of getting inFuse to handle them properly, and remuxing them keeps things tidy anyway. It doesn't take long to remux as it's not actually converting the video, just re-containering it (I know, that's not a word...)

 

 

 

I should add, mkvtoolnix doesn't work for all file types. If you need to deal with .avi files, I found this works on a linux/unix machine (with the mplayer package installed):

cat a-fish-called-wanda.cd1.avi a-fish-called-wanda.cd2.avi > tmp.avi && mencoder -forceidx -oac copy -ovc copy tmp.avi -o a-fish-called-wanda-complete.avi && rm -f tmp.avi

Unfortunately Infuse doesn't currently support multi-part movies, but this is something we're planning to add in an upcoming version.

PS - Thanks for sharing your workaround avidmoviegoer. :)

Why are Multi Part Movies not supported yet?
