SOLVED: Can't 'Split' versions of movie if the movie title is one word

[hornakapopolis]

The ones that show the split options and the ones that don't are all named following the same format.

.../Movies/Alien (1979)/Alien (1979) [Director's Cut].mkv
.../Movies/Alien (1979)/Alien (1979) [Theatrical].mkv
.../Movies/Alien Resurrection (1997)/Alien Resurrection (1997) [Special Edition].mkv
.../Movies/Alien Resurrection (1997)/Alien Resurrection (1997) [Theatrical].mkv

Jellyfin allows you to have multiple versions of a movie, which is automatically triggered based on a specific naming scheme. This behavior works independently of any plugins. The naming format must follow a particular structure: the movie name should be identical to the folder name, followed by a dash (-), and then any additional text. For example:

Movie (2000)
--Movie (2000) - Best Movie Ever
--Movie (2000) - Best Movie Ever Really Long Version

You have found an exception where using square brackets [] instead of a dash also triggers this feature. To avoid triggering the multiple versions feature, simply remove the brackets or replace them with parentheses () and the movies will no longer be treated as multiple versions.

This did it. Thank you! I'm migrating from Plex and have a somewhat large library, so I'll probably only remove the brackets for the single word titles for now. Like I said before, it's hard to word this in a way that doesn't bring up the typical 'multiple versions' questions. Do you know if this is this a known issue? It presents itself oddly and, if it hadn't been for having 'Alexander,' 'Alien,' & 'Aliens' so close to each other alphabetically and with the other Alien movies splitting fine, I don't think I would have noticed the 'single word' detail.

Regardless, I do appreciate the knowledge and help!
