Autoplay with merged episode - Ozoroyn - 2025-06-11
Hello !
I have a show with multiple versions for some (not all) epiodes. Here is the naming:
- Show (year) [id]
- Season 01
- Show S01E01 episode title - [typeA].mkv
- Show S01E01 alternate episode title - [typeB].avi
- Show S01E02 episode title - [typeA].mkv
- Show S01E02 alternate episode title - [typeB].avi
I did merge manualy the episodes, and I also tried by merging them with the plugin
Merge Versions.The question is: How do I ensure that the autoplay keep playing episodes with [typeB] tag if I started by this type.
As a bonus: How can I fallback to [typeA] if there is no [typeB] but pick-up [typeB] each time available.
The current behavior is, no matter what [type] I first use, it keeps selecting [typeA] for the next episode.
Thank you for your time.

I don't know as though Jellyfin will exhibit the desired behavior. If you want to watch both back to back, I would merge them with mkvmerge.
Code:
mkvmerge -o "<MERGED EPISODE FILENAME.MKV>" "<TYPE A>" "<TYPE B>"
