my mum's TV recorder splits file when they reach approx. 1Gb of size.
all recordings are mpg files, starting with 000.mpg to 001.mpg etc.
VLC plays fine the first recording (000.mpg) , but I cannot get it to play the following files, (001-002 etc)
It shows me the file in the playlist window but even if I right click play file nothing happens.

Note2. I recently upgraded my mum's computer to Linux Mint Debian 201403 and vlc version is 2.1.1 Rincewind
until few weeks ago she was using ubuntu 12.04, version of vlc she was using was: VLC media player - version 1.0.6 Goldeneye
Hope this helps
Please let me know if there is any info that might be necessary to tarck down the issue
thanks
M
