I have an old file Stargate Atlantis labeled S01E01E02.mkv HT doesn't find it, so just shows E01 then E03, E04 etc I could split the file easily enough but then there is the subtitle track and that wold be a nightmare. I tried Stargate Atlantis S01E01 E02 (1)(2).mkv but no change. The other approach would be to make a dummy file and call it Stargate Atlantis labeled S01E02.mkv That at least would bring up the ep synopsis and actor list and backdrop etc
I came up with a solution that works for me but its not really addressing the problem in absolute terms! I named the combined episode of 1 and 2 thus Stargate.Atlantis.S01E01 E02 (1)(2) .mp4 I then created a dummy file using notepad and called it Stargate.Atlantis.S01E02.mkv ( 0 bytes in length as its really a notepad file) This resulted in HT inserting Ep1, Ep2, Ep3 etc with the correct synopsis shown. On the same page it shows Ep1 with a (1) and (2) shown that for me indicate ep 1 and ep2 as one file. If you attempt to play the HT entry marked Ep2 you get a Can't play message. This was the only way I could get entries for the episodes with the correct synopsis.
