not picking the extras for only this movie

[puppetj]

so i be putting all movies extras in subfolders in each movie folder thats has them like the docs mention subfolder for interviews, behind the scenes, etc... and it be working fine, great!

but for some reason, this movie "The Chronicles of Narnia- The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe", will not have them show up, i even tried putting them in all the same folder and putting -interview and-behindthescenes , that doesnt work either, this is the only movie that is that causing the issues.
any ideas? thanks!

Remove this dash (Narnia- The) from the folder and file names and scan with a replace metadata.

resfresh mode "replace all metadata" you mean? if i do that it will effect the other movies metadata, i dont want that.

also the "-" in " Narnia- The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe" , doesnt matter, i have it in "The Chronicles of Narnia- The Voyage of the Dawn Treader" movie folder and it shows the movie extras with no problem.

Add a space before (and after) "-".

For extras you can put then on a sub folder or add a suffix, see https://jellyfin.org/docs/general/server...vie-extras

they are in a subfolder and i even tried the File Suffix , they still dont show up.

Adding a space before (and after) "-" didnt help either, i even removed the hyphen entirely and it didnt help

It would help if we had a screenshot of your folder structure and filenames

Ok, I can see the problem now. I wish that information had been included in the original post, it would have saved a lot of time.

The current setup you're using, with multiple movies in a single subfolder, isn't supported. What is supported is having multiple versions or additional parts of a movie, which can work with the "Extras" feature.

It looks like you were trying to set up multiple versions, but the file naming is incorrect. For multiple versions to be recognized correctly, the folder name must exactly match the file name before the dash. Here's the proper structure:

Code:

The Chronicles of Narnia The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe (2005)/
├── The Chronicles of Narnia The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe (2005) - [Extended Cut].mkv
├── The Chronicles of Narnia The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe (2005) - [Bonus Cut].mkv

This setup will combine the versions into a single movie entry with a dropdown menu to select between them. If there's no resolution (e.g., 2160p, 1080p) specified after the dash, the versions will be sorted alphabeticall so "Bonus Cut" will appear first.

Extras will display correctly when set up this way. However, if you prefer not to combine versions and want them to appear as separate entries, you'll need to place each one in its own folder:

Code:

Movies/
├── The Chronicles of Narnia The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe (2005) - [Extended Cut]/
│  └── files here
├── The Chronicles of Narnia The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe (2005) - [Bonus Cut]/
│  └── files here
