I'm sure there will be exceptions to this but so far pattern seems to be that the "Big" playlist is a combination of the the EPS and excludes the extra content.  I still like the idea of actually comparing the content of the playlists (eg the chapters each contain) over just the length as it will be much more robust logic in working out what content is contained / duplicated in each.

maybe it's best to see if there are 3-6 files of very similar size, then see how the total of those compares to the largest file; with any difference compared to the remaining files??

comparing contents seems more thorough or accurate, but also seems more processor intensive?

Actually I grossly simplified the process with DVD's, in that case we look for long titles that exactly overlap the same disc sectors as all of the titles with TV show type durations (20 -60 minutes) and only call them a TV show disc if it works out.  I'd like to get a blu-ray disc that exhibits this issue so I could use a similar algorithm in that case.  However it's possible that 99% of the cases would be correctly covered by a simple interpretation of the the durations.

Happy to test any of the ideas when you have it up and going.
