Prefer Widescreen over Fullscreen - DerekBerger - 2024-09-30
Hey, is there a way to have Jellyfin select by default the Widescreen version of movies when a Fullscreen version is also present. I have looked through the documentation on naming files, but can't see a solution.
I have a few movies where I want the Fullscreen version to be *available*, but not presented as the default. Everything I read makes it seem as though there isn't a way aside from renaming the fullscreen file to be something that alphabetically comes after widescreen.
My files are named as:
Movies/Batman Returns (1992) [imdbid-tt0103776]/Batman Returns (1992) [imdbid-tt0103776] - Fullscreen.mp4
Movies/Batman Returns (1992) [imdbid-tt0103776]/Batman Returns (1992) [imdbid-tt0103776] - Widescreen.mp4
Is there a way to override the alphabetical sorting for this? When I watch on a 3rd party app (Infuse on my Apple TV, Kodi on my Android projector) that doesn't support multiple versions of media the only version that will play is the first which in this case is the Fullscreen version.

You can remove the default version's version name, so that it will always considered as default. So now it becomes:
Batman Returns (1992) [imdbid-tt0103776] - Fullscreen.mp4
Batman Returns (1992) [imdbid-tt0103776].mp4
