Add audio files as extras to movies and shows - JellyJeff - 2025-10-20

Hi,

according to https://jellyfin.org/docs/general/server/media/movies it is possible to add a file "theme.mp3" as an extra (theme song) to a movie. Is this only valid for that specific use case or can multiple different audio files be added as extras to movies and shows (e.g. audio-only interviews or music)?

If so, are all audio file formats supported as in music libraries or are there restrictions?

I remember trying to add a *.mka file as extra some time ago and it didn't work. When I renamed the file to *.mkv it worked and was shown as extra and was playable in the client but it gave error messages in Jellyfin log for processes that don't expect *.mkv files without video track (e.g. trickplay image extraction).
