    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

    that did it!
    ok, so how do i get the [extended cut] to be the default one that plays, and is listed first
