Cannot Get Movie Version to Merge - Kiekan - 2025-11-11

Hello,

Hoping this is an easy solution. I am following the documentation here for how to display multiple versions of the same movie: https://jellyfin.org/docs/general/server/media/movies/

I am currently using Jellyfin version 10.11.2 (via the linuxserver/jellyfin Docker container)

Currently I have the folder path set up as such:

Server Root
    └── Movies
        └── Marvel's Werewolf By Night (2022)
              ├── Werewolf By Night (2022) [imdbid-tt15318872] - Black & White.mkv
              └── Werewolf By Night (2022) [imdbid-tt15318872] - Colorized.mkv

However, whenever I scan the library, it continues to split the movies into separate versions:

     

I can manually group these versions together. However, I don't understand why the library is not automatically doing so. I checked to see there was a setting under the "Manage Library" that I had disabled. But I do not see anything.

Hopefully someone can provide some guidance on why these files would not automatically be detected as multiple versions of the same movie.
