Question on file name for TV Show ISO files

    Has anyone successfully been able to get TV Shows to work as ISO files and have the episodes list correctly in Home Theater 5.0? Just doing a ChatGPT search it said to label the file like this: Star Trek (1966) S01E01E02E03E04E05.ISO or Star Trek (1966) S01E01-S01E05. But either way the files end up getting dumped into the unmatched category.
    On my R_volution PlayerOne 8K, I can re-identify the file and manually select all the episodes that ISO file contains and it shows/displays each episode correctly. But when trying to re-identify using Zidoo, it will only allow you to manually select ONE episode per file.

    Thanks for any help anyone can provide

    If you look on TMDB or TVDB or any other video data base sources you wont find a title called "Star Trek (1966) S01E01E02E03E04E05" so a mismatch will result. I would simply use Star Trek (1966).ISO as a starting point and see what happens. I don't use ISO but individual MKV files

    My only solution was either to extract the files from the iso and name eps properly; or to keep the ISO format, simply name them as disc 1 = ep 1, disc 2, ep 2, disc 3, ep 3, then edit the listing to be first ep on that disc.
