Combine split video items - Main page: File stacking
By using certain naming extensions and enabling this setting, you can enable "file stacking" for split video files. File stacking allows multiple video files to appear and play as if it were one movie file. This also allows VIDEO_TS files from DVD rips to act as a single video when playing them in file view, as if it were an ISO.
Replace names with library titles - When a file is scanned into the library it will display the metadata title instead of the file name.
