View Full Version : Multiple File movies / Sequels

How do you get movies that are 2 pieces to show up as 1 (or at all)? My problem is the second piece doesn't even show up. Here is an example

Movie CD1.avi
Movie CD2.avi

I can see Movie CD1 but can't see part 2. I had to close boxee and go through media center to play it.

Another issue I am having is this (probably the same issue).

Back to the future.avi
Back to the future 2.avi
Back to the future 3.avi

Ghostbusters.avi
Ghostbusters2.avi


In both scenarios only the first movie shows up. I can't watch a sequel that has the same title but a different number at the end.

Any way to solve this?

also, have you tried the 'recognize video' option?

One way could be renaming your files. (All the info grabbed from IMDB). Adding the years could also help.

Back to the Future (1985).avi
Back to the Future Part II.avi
Back to the Future Part III.avi

Ghost Busters.avi
Ghostbusters II.avi

agreed... considering boxee's recognition ability is strongly based on imdb's naming scheme, following the way they name stuff is the best solution; if not always logical. (for instance: don't get me started on [u]the neverending story[/i])
