filename convention(s) for multi-episode videos
Posted: Sun Mar 03, 2024 9:52 am
Some of my TV series files contain multiple episodes. Stated differently: a single video file might contain 2 or more consecutive episodes (e.g., parts 1,2,3).
I want to name my files in a way that UMS can parse successfully.
For a single episode, I use something like:
seriesName.S01E01.mkv
What is the best choice (from UMS's perspective) for naming a multi-episode video?
Below are some of the schemes I've seen people use:
seriesName.S01E01E02E03.mkv
seriesName.S01E01S02E02S01E03.mkv
seriesName.S01E01-E03.mkv
seriesName.S01E01.S01E02.S01E03.mkv
I have at least one video with 2 episodes that cross season boundaries (e.g., cliffhanger episodes).
I've used the convention below, but want to be sensitive to UMS's parsing:
seriesName.S01E22.S02E01.mkv
Thanks for any insights.
