Feature Request: Use numeric mpls order

Post by preserve »

Almost all of the time on TV discs with multiple episodes (at least the shows I watch and have been recently ripping), the disc's numeric mpls order has the episodes in the correct order, but MakeMKV screws it up.

TV shows are a large part of my collection and will continue to be, so this option would save a lot of time.

I would also be more than happy to submit disc episode data if MakeMKV wanted to gather such data to automatically provide better ordering for known discs.

Previous threads on this topic show that the topic keeps coming up, and it's certainly of interest to a number of folks:

As a bypass you can use the ":SN" keyword in the output file name template to include the mpls number in the file name. see also: https://www.makemkv.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=21913

This results by using "{NAME1}{Title:+DFLT}{_ID-:SN}" in:

xxxxxxx_ID-00801,mkv
xxxxxxx_ID-00802,mkv
xxxxxxx_ID-00803,mkv
xxxxxxx_ID-00804,mkv

It's not perfect, but it works :D
