Adding local extras to a movie not working

Plex Media Server Desktops & Laptops
1

I have the new Wicked extras (Behind the scenes, deleted scenes) and want to load them into Plex as such. I followed the guidance of this page but it didn’t work (note that I elected to use subfolders rather than inline naming). Based on a very similar post the recommendation was to refresh metadata…tried that and it didn’t help.

Any extra hints or perhaps some screenshots of your folder structure would be helpful…mine is below.

Thanks in advance!

(edit: The screenshot shows two editions in the same movietitle folder. Yes, I realize that doesn’t work. However, I removed one of them from the movietitle folder and the extras still don’t show up. I also tried the inline naming technique and that didn’t work either)

Different editions cannot share their extras.
Store each edition in its own folder. Add the extras only to one of these.

Sorry, I forgot to add that I tried that as well…that didn’t work either

Please show what you tried exactly.

Refer to the link in my OP…THAT’S what I did…exactly. Both techniques

  • Only one edition in the movie folder.
  • Move [stuff in square brackets] after {edition-…}.
  • Rescan & refresh metadata.
  • If that does not work, Plex Dance the entire Wicked (2024) folder.

Example from my server:

/movies
.../Oklahoma! (1955) {edition-70mm Todd-AO}
....../Oklahoma! (1955) {edition-70mm Todd-AO} [1080p].mkv
.../Shorts
....../Still Galleries.mkv
....../Vintage Stage Excerpts.mkv
.../Trailers
....../Oklahoma! (1955) Theatrical Teaser.mkv
....../Oklahoma! (1955) Theatrical Trailer.mkv

  • I learned about the first one after I captured the screen…removed one and still didn’t work
  • Does the {} order just screw up extras? Because the way I show it in my OP has never been an issue before. Those movies both show up as designed. Just the extras don’t.

I’m not sure. I’ve never seen any definitive documentation that says square brackets must go at the end of the file name. I’ve always placed them at the end and it has always worked.

In my case I’ve always done the at the end and it’s always worked so I suspect it doesn’t matter.
