Multi "Disc" Movie and Metadata?

[Vettro]

I can't figure out how to take a 2 disc DVD MKV and have both files be recognized by My Media Center. If I add Disc 1 or 2 onto the file name it doesn't help. Do I need to combine them into one somehow?

I have tried other HTPC software like Plex and XBMC but nothing works as well as MMC. Just can't figure out this one thing! Driving me mad!

No answers? I guess I'm either ignorant or everyone is stumped... either way I'm out of an answer.

Combine them - I use MKVtoolnix - MKVmerge - just google them - if you use MKV files you really should have these tools as they will assist in merging and other very useful things (like converting DTS to DD) etc.

inside of the my media center config go to Advanced -> Metadata -> Create playlist for multi-file movies

[Motz]

you can also create a playlist manually. Open up a new file in notepad and rename it to:
MovieName.wvx

Then open it to edit and add:
<ASX version = "3.0">
<Title>name of movies</Title>
<Entry>
<Ref href = "C:\MultifileMovies\MovieName\part1.avi" />
</Entry>
<Entry>
<Ref href = "C:\MultifileMovies\MovieName\part2.avi" />
</Entry>
</ASX>


I used to store my multifile movies in a different directory so they don't show up multiple times
