Multipart episode not playing next part - freegamer - 2024-01-11

Hello,

I have a problem when watching an episode that is split in parts. The player automatically plays the next episode instead of going to the next part.
In the webinterface when you open the episode you can see the "additional parts", but it doesn't automatically play them when the previous part ends, but jumps to the next episode.

Meaning it goes from S10E09-part1 to S10E10 instead of S10E09-part2.
I have to exit the playback and select the next part manually if I want to watch it.

In the Swiftfin mobile app the additional parts are not shown at all.

Is the naming of the episodes wrong for this to work? I've read on reddit that apparently it should work and I'm using the naming convention from the wiki if I'm not mistaken.

The episodes are named:
Detektiv Conan - S10E09-part1.mp4
Detektiv Conan - S10E09-part2.mp4
Detektiv Conan - S10E09-part3.mp4
Detektiv Conan - S10E09-part4.mp4
Detektiv Conan - S10E10.mp4

Server Version: 10.8.13
OS: Linux
Install method: Docker
Client: Browser (shows parts, does not play them automatically), Swiftfin iOS (does not show parts)z

Webinterface showing the episodes parts:

Webinterface shows that it wants to play the next episode (S10E10) instead of the next part (S10E09-part2) when ending part1:

Thanks

Instead of

Code:
Detektiv Conan - S10E09-part1.mp4

Detektiv Conan - S10E09-part2.mp4

Try these files names

Code:
Detektiv Conan - S10E09 part 1.mp4

Detektiv Conan - S10E09 part 2.mp4

Using a dash without spaces is a reserved syntax for other behaviors.

RE: Multipart episode not playing next part - freegamer - 2024-01-12

Thanks for your answer, but sadly it didn't work.

I renamed the files to

Code:
Detektiv Conan - S10E09 part 1.mp4

Detektiv Conan - S10E09 part 2.mp4

Detektiv Conan - S10E09 part 3.mp4

Detektiv Conan - S10E09 part 4.mp4

rescanned the library and marked the episode as unwatched (the parts where already marked unwatched after the renaming). The parts are now also shown without the dashes in the web interface.

Sadly it still jumps to episode 10 after the end of the first part. It also jumps to the episode 10 when clicking the "next" button.

When I get home tonight I will do some testing. It will be tomorrow morning for you by the time I get home from work to do this testing.

Thank you very much for taking so much time looking into that problem. 🙏

I got multi-part episodes detected, but I have the same behavior as you.

But I found this in a github ticket.

Jellyfin 10.9 will automatically queue additional parts when that version is released.

RE: Multipart episode not playing next part - freegamer - 2024-01-14

Ah nice, kinda glad that I'm not the only one who would have expected it to already work that way (especially with reddit posts telling you that it already does). Hopefully 10.9 won't take too long to release anymore.

And again thank you for taking so much time looking into this.
