Bug - Local extras aren't merged into an existing library entry

[JacksonWrath]

Server Version#: 1.19.3.2843

I’ve recently had to recreate and rescan my movies with slightly different filenames into an existing library (so as to not lose all the metadata-curating I’ve done). Along with that, I started adding local extras for several movies.

When it initially scans, it puts it as a separate library entry until the metadata match, at which point it gets merged into the existing entry, however the local extras don’t get merged with it. Rescanning doesn’t make them appear.

I’ve found that simply renaming one of the files after the metadata match causes it to treat the entire directory as new and properly show the extras. A rescan isn’t required.

Thanks!

With “Local Media Assets” agent enabled,
and at the bottom of the list,
Scanning files will bring it in.

Hi ChuckPa,

Thanks for replying. I just tested this (on version 1.19.3.2852) with another addition but am still seeing the same behavior. The extras show up on the initial rescan, but after it’s matched and merged into the existing library item, the extras won’t appear until one of them is renamed.
