Beetle PSX does not recognize CHD multi-disc games when renamed to .CD# for tidying up RetroArch playlist #752

I seem to not be able to play multi-disc PSX games from a .m3u playlist when my CHD files are renamed like so: Driver 2 (Disc 1).CD1 Driver 2 (Disc 2).CD2

I did this so that, for multi-disc games, only the .m3u is shown in the file browser and in the Libretro playlist, and not the individual discs.

When loading the m3u playlist, I get a Unknown CUE sheet directive "MCOMPRHD" error and then RetroArch crashes. I don't have this problem when loading the same m3u playlist with PCSX ReARMed.

this is not a standard file extension for cd images, and should not be used as a standard practice

imho

He did that because of that, so that the RA scanner didn't pick them up.

Anyway, the scanner, as terrible as it is, is supposed to already have a feature to filter out the files that it picks up in m3u (added by jdgleaver). If it's not working for chd on a recent compile, it's a bug - this workaround is supposed to be unnecessary.

Or maybe i misinterpreted it and it's only filtered in the manual scanner, wouldn't surprise me.

Pretty sure that's only ever been applicable to the manual scanner. It -should- be extended to the normal scanner though. But yes, I also disagree with adding support for arbitrary extensions.
