    I am backing up Pixar Short Films Collection Volume 2, which is just a series of shorts and some bonus content… no feature film. I made a parent folder of the dvd’s name and tmdbid and created shorts and extras folders in it. In the shorts folder I added each one with its imdbid in the file name. After uploading, the movie (the thing that would represent the dvd based on the parent folder name) doesn’t show up. Is there some trick to making this show up even though there is no feature film?

    Here is the folder structure:

    Code:
    Pixar Short Films Collection: Volume 2 (2012) [tmdbid-303659]
    ├── extras
    │   ├── A Story Intro.mp4
    │   ├── A Story Short.mp4
    │   ├── Lady & the Lamp Intro.mp4
    │   ├── Lady & the Lamp Short.mp4
    │   ├── Nightmare Intro.mp4
    │   ├── Nightmare Short.mp4
    │   ├── Somewhere in the Artic Intro.mp4
    │   └── Somewhere in the Artic Short.mp4
    └── shorts
        ├── Air Mater (2011) [imdbid-tt12280202].mp4
        ├── Burn-E (2008) [imdbid-tt1334585].mp4
        ├── Day & Night (2010) [imdbid-tt1620446].mp4
        ├── Dug's Special Mission (2009) [imdbid-tt1537759].mp4
        ├── George and A.J. (2009) [imdbid-tt1552624].mp4
        ├── Hawaiian Vacation (2011) [imdbid-tt1850374].mp4
        ├── La Luna (2011) [imdbid-tt1957945].mp4
        ├── Partly Cloudy (2009) [imdbid-tt1425244].mp4
        ├── Presto (2008) [imdbid-tt1245104].mp4
        ├── Small Fry (2011) [imdbid-tt2033372].mp4
        ├── Time Travel Mater (2012) [tmdbid-141528].mp4
        └── Your Friend the Rat (2007) [imdbidd-tt1134859].mp4

    TMDB treats them as their own movie. Because of that, each would need to be in their own folder as if they were a proper movie.

    https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/141528-...uage=en-US

    TMDB also lists it as a single movie: https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/303659-...n-volume-2 Does that change anything?

    The DVD also has extras that are not movies, in case that helps any.

    You may have to merge each short into one long file to use the "collection" listing for the shorts.
