    Hello,

    Hoping this is an easy solution. I am following the documentation here for how to display multiple versions of the same movie: https://jellyfin.org/docs/general/server/media/movies/

    I am currently using Jellyfin version 10.11.2 (via the linuxserver/jellyfin Docker container)

    Currently I have the folder path set up as such:

    Server Root
        └── Movies
            └── Marvel's Werewolf By Night (2022)
                  ├── Werewolf By Night (2022) [imdbid-tt15318872] - Black & White.mkv
                  └── Werewolf By Night (2022) [imdbid-tt15318872] - Colorized.mkv

    However, whenever I scan the library, it continues to split the movies into separate versions:

         

    I can manually group these versions together. However, I don't understand why the library is not automatically doing so. I checked to see there was a setting under the "Manage Library" that I had disabled. But I do not see anything.

    Hopefully someone can provide some guidance on why these files would not automatically be detected as multiple versions of the same movie.

    Look at the example again and the wording directly from the document 

    "The part before any suffixes MUST be exactly the same, including any years and/or metadata provider IDs. "

    Movie (2021) [imdbid-tt12801262]
    ├── Movie (2021) [imdbid-tt12801262] - 2160p.mp4
    ├── Movie (2021) [imdbid-tt12801262] - 1080p.mp4
    └── Movie (2021) [imdbid-tt12801262] - Directors Cut.mp4

    I didn't realize that the folder name had to be identical to the file names (prior to the suffixes). Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.
