Adding -behindthescenes to Personal Media

I have a lot of concert DVD/BluRays from Japan, I organize them as a personal media library because none of the agents will match the content, I assume because none of it is in the agents available.

Most of these disks have behind the scenes or featuretts. I can not get any of the file naming conventions to work under personal media -behindthescenes -featurette, -scene, none of them work. Neither does using the folder method. I have all the options for local matching and local files enabled. I found a post from a guy 5 years ago who did what I am trying to do, but I was not able to reproduce the result.

I have managed to get that kind of content to show ONLY when I set the library to movie AND I force a match on some random movie. Then the -bts, etc show up. But then of course I need to manually remove all the mis-matched info (at least as much as I can).

Am I doing something wrong? Do those things only work on matched, movie/music content? If the later, that seems like a needless restriction…

  1. your library uses “Plex Movie” for both scanner and agent
  2. if your video will fetch wrong metadata in Plex because it is matched to some movie, perform the “Unmatch” command. Then “Refresh Metadata” and all your local extras should appear.

Example how it works in my library:

The presence of the “Match…” menu item is an indication that this video is unmatched.

back.jpg is not used by Plex
poster.jpg is automatically used
description.txt is a backup. If I ever have to recreate the library I can copy&paste from there into Plex.
The XML files are just remnants of my editing/naming the chapters in the files, so that I can jump to the particular tracks during playback.

You’re a legend! Movie/Movie and a metadata refresh did the trick. Thank you!
