Please describe your bug
Currently when having a movie as multiple parts, named using any of the recognized patterns (i.e. cd, part, pt) Jellyfish will show the movie as a movie (part 1) with "Additional Parts". (see screenshots)
The expected behaviour would be to show it as one movie (combining the playtime, making chapter list based on all files), and either transcoding the files to play as a single movie on the fly, or simply automaticly start playing the next part when finished with the first. As can be seen in the comments on the feature request, this is what is wanted and expected from this feature.

@cvium commented on GitHub (Jun 2, 2023):
I think there's some confusion surrounding this. The bug that you're describing is how it is intended to work. We do not support automatically joining the parts with ffmpeg and we're unlikely to implement it.
@Kagee commented on GitHub (Jun 2, 2023):
Would it then not be sensible to re-open the feature request?
@cvium commented on GitHub (Jun 2, 2023):
It would, but I can't do it from my current location.
@dmitrylyzo commented on GitHub (Jun 2, 2023):
FYI, in webui 10.9, additional parts will be added to the play queue automatically.

@Kagee commented on GitHub (Jun 2, 2023):
That will be an improvement indeed.
@thornbill commented on GitHub (Jun 2, 2023):
That feature request describes the feature as it already exists. If you want the behavior to be different, you should create a new feature request that clearly describes how you think it should work in comparison to how it currently works.
@Phippe commented on GitHub (Jun 13, 2024):
FWIW, you can easily join multiple parts in MKVToolNix by starting with the first part, then importing all the remaining parts with "add/append to an existing source file" (or whatever it's called in English).
