When using the 'File' view, XBMC has the ability to recognize 'multipart' videos based on filename rules. When a stacked selection is selected for playback, you must choose which part you wish to play. Only video files are examined for stacking possibility. There are currently two types of stacking which can be specified by using the 'Stacking' option in MyVideo:

Stacking Filename Syntax
If a filename ends with specific types of strings (example: "-CD1", "-CD2" disregarding the extension), then multiple files will be collapsed into one file.
The various formats can be summarized by the following:
[token][cd|part][num]
Where [token] is one of the following strings:
- "-" (hyphen)
- " " (blank)
- "_" (underscore)
- "." (dot)
Followed by the string "cd" or "part" (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.
