eg:-


MovieTitle.2024\
             featurettes\
                           feature1.mkv
                           feature2.mkv
             MovieTitle.2024{edition-DirectorsCut}.mkv
             MovieTitle.2024{edition-TheatricalCut}.mkv

The featurettes refuse to appear on the Plex entry :frowning:

Plex cannot currently deal with extras for multiple editions stored in the same movie folder. You’ll need to move each edition to its own movie folder and pick which edition should get the extras.

There’s a feature suggestion asking for Plex to support mixed-edition folders with shared extras.

MovieTitle.2024.DirectorsCut\
             featurettes\
                           feature1.mkv
                           feature2.mkv
             MovieTitle.2024{edition-DirectorsCut}.mkv
MovieTitle.2024.TheatricalCut\
             MovieTitle.2024{edition-TheatricalCut}.mkv

OK! That’s got around it! Thanks! As you suggest, the features are only in the one version, but that’s fine!

To be perfectly good, go with the official naming Schema and make that

MovieTitle (2024) {Edition-DirectorsCut}
             Featurettes
                           feature1.mkv
                           feature2.mkv
             MovieTitle (2024) {edition-DirectorsCut}.mkv

MovieTitle (2024) {edition-Theatrical Cut}
             MovieTitle (2024) {edition-TheatricalCut}.mkv

As a side note: Edition titles can have spaces… so you should be fine to make that {edition-Director‘s Cut} and {edition-Theatrical Cut}.
