What should poster names be with multiple movie versions? - MetalSnake - 2023-07-30

Currently I have the filenames like this:

A great movie (2020)
├── A great movie (2020) - 1080P.mkv
├── A great movie (2020) - Extended Edition.mkv
├── A great movie (2020) - Uncut.mkv
├── A great movie (2020)-poster.jpg
└── movie.nfo

in this situation the poster isn't visible in the Jellyfin Web UI.

The docs don't mention filenames for graphics: https://jellyfin.org/docs/general/server/media/movies/#multiple-versions-of-a-movie

What's the correct naming scheme for this, and is this documented somewhere?

Someone posted this in the Matrix chat.  Let us know if it works for you.

Hi You should keep each movie in a separate folder & install the TMBD Boxset plugin, this will put the movies into 1 boxset & you can adjust images & filenames for each film in the boxset so you know what is waht I do this for movies I have in 720p & 4K buy just changing the poster image of the 4K movie so I know which version is in 4K easier

I'm sorry, that's a TV Show, and the *-poster.jpg and other files are not even visible in the screenshot.
