    How does the limitation to only use movie.nfo work with the multiple versions movie folder structure shown in this link:

    https://jellyfin.org/docs/general/server...of-a-movie

    Movies
    ├── Best_Movie_Ever (2019)
    │  ├── Best_Movie_Ever (2019) - 1080P.mp4
    │  ├── Best_Movie_Ever (2019) - 720P.mp4
    │  └── Best_Movie_Ever (2019) - Directors Cut.mp4
    └── Movie (2021) [imdbid-tt12801262]
        ├── Movie (2021) [imdbid-tt12801262] - 2160p.mp4
        ├── Movie (2021) [imdbid-tt12801262] - 1080p.mp4
        └── Movie (2021) [imdbid-tt12801262] - Directors Cut.mp4

    The .nfo file includes information about the video, audio, subtitle(s), and embedded images of the movie, such as:

      <fileinfo>
        <streamdetails>
          <video>
            <codec>h264</codec>
            <micodec>h264</micodec>
            <bitrate>5552534</bitrate>
            <width>1920</width>
            <height>1080</height>
            <aspect>16:9</aspect>
            <aspectratio>16:9</aspectratio>
            <framerate>23.976025</framerate>
            <scantype>progressive</scantype>
            <default>True</default>
            <forced>False</forced>
            <duration>87</duration>
            <durationinseconds>5246</durationinseconds>
          </video>
          <audio>
            <codec>ac3</codec>
            <micodec>ac3</micodec>
            <bitrate>384000</bitrate>
            <language>eng</language>
            <scantype>progressive</scantype>
            <channels>6</channels>
            <samplingrate>48000</samplingrate>
            <default>True</default>
            <forced>False</forced>
          </audio>
          <subtitle>
          </subtitle>
          <embeddedimage> 
          </embeddedimage>    
        </streamdetails>
      </fileinfo>

    So by having only a single .nfo file in a folder with multiple versions of the same movie, the correct information for at least one movie (and maybe more) will not be included in metadata for the movie (which is stored in the .nfo file).
