| When in [[My Videos#File View|File Mode]], XBMC has the ability to recognize and present 'multi-part' video files based on filename stacking rules. For example a two part VCD can be displayed and played as a single file in the user interface.

| ==Stacking in XBMC==
| |
| Stacking can be toggled on / off while in [[My Videos#Files View|File Mode]] in My Videos.
| |
| How stacked files are presented to the user can be configured with the [[My Videos Settings#General|Treat Stacked Files as a Single File]] under Video Setings.
| |
| The default stacking rules are rather "wide" and can cause files you normally would not want to stack to be stacked (e.g. rolling filenames from digital cameras, TV shows etc.)
| |
| The regular expressions that control stacking can be changed by the [[AdvancedSettings.xml#.3Cmoviestacking.3E|moviestacking ]] tag in [[AdvancedSettings.xml]].
| |
| | |
| Stacking is only available for video media.
| |
| | |
| ==Stacking Filename Syntax==
| |
| As an example, if you only want to have filenames ending with a specific type of string (e.g. "-CD1", "-CD2" disregarding the extension) collapsed into '''one file'''. Then you would do the following changes in [[AdvancedSettings.xml]].
| |
| | |
| <xml>
| |
| <advancedsettings>
| |
| <moviestacking append="no">
| |
| <regexp>[ _\.-]+cd[ _\.-]*([0-9a-d]+)</regexp>
| |
| <regexp>[ _\.-]+dvd[ _\.-]*([0-9a-d]+)</regexp>
| |
| <regexp>[ _\.-]+part[ _\.-]*([0-9a-d]+)</regexp>
| |
| </moviestacking>
| |
| </advancedsettings>
| |
| </xml>
| |
| | |
| The syntax can be summarized by the following:
| |
| | |
| '''[token][cd|part|dvd][num]'''
| |
| | |
| Where [token] is one of the following strings:
| |
| *"-" (hyphen)
| |
| *" " (blank)
| |
| *"_" (underscore)
| |
| *"." (dot)
| |
| | |
| Followed by the string "cd", "part" or "dvd" '''(case insensitive)'''.
| |
| | |
| [num] can be a number between 1 and 99.
| |
| | |
| The comparison is case insensitive.
| |
| | |
| For example, if you have the following two files (which both consist of a part of a movie):
| |
| | |
| * MyVideo-CD1.avi
| |
| * MyVideo-CD2.avi
| |
| | |
| They will be displayed in the file list as one file '''MyVideo.avi'''.
