Does MythVideo automatically set "Browse = 0" for the second video, thus
hiding it from display? Does it also set "Play after: 2nd Movie" for the
first movie?
Say I have aquired a video from some source or other that has files named:
My Movie [Part 1 of 2].avi
My Movie [Part 2 of 2].avi
(or similar).
Ideally, IMO, I only want to see one listing in MythVideo for this movie
(in playback mode, not in the Video Manager where two entries is
appropriate). I wan the movie to appear as "My Movie" (I don't care how
many parts are in it when I'm watching it), and I want MythMovie to
automatically play part 2 when part 1 finishes....
If this is what MythMovie is doing (i'm not able to test this 100% at
the mo'), then I say this is very definatly a feature rather than a bug
(albeit a feature that should be documented better/FAQ'ed up a little!)
