For some reason local extras are not showing on a movie library in new app. They showed in the old app and on the web. I’ve searched and can’t see anyone else saying this?
Extras should still be listed on the movie details pages (below Cast & Crew and Ratings & Reviews sections).
Is this a movie or other-video type library?
Thank you for the reply. This is a movie type library, I’m using for my ripped Dr Who DVDs where the name of the movie is the full file and the extras are added as per Plex naming convention.
I’ve will attach some photos in the next message
I guess those aren’t matched but you manually set the metadata/artwork etc. (given those are usually tv-series / episodes)?
I’ve seen a similar report earlier today where a user reported local extras aren’t currently displaying for unmatched content (incl. personal media in an other-video type library)
The meta data is from are from xbmcnfoimporter-bundle which I know is no longer supported - but as they are in the web UI and old app I thought they would show in the new app too.
Should I try with manually set data instead for one of them in a new library?
Thanks again
Which also means that the library is using a legacy agent.
Since the mobile app has been rewritten from the ground up, support for legacy libraries (which are going to go away in the not-so-far future ) is not something that got prioritized.
Thank you for the reply. Do you have a suggestion on how I can get the extras to show please?
Convert it into a modern library.
Preferably a TV Show-type library.
Which would also mean: renaming and reorganizing all your files.
(i.e. completely ditch the approach to organize by DVD discs or story branches. Use the originally aired episodes instead.)
But then you will be able to use the modern support for local extras in a TV show type library, which is extensive. You can have show-level, season-level and even episode-level extras. And the new app shows all of them.

Thank you, I will give it a go before I’m forced to change it - one at a time as there are a lot.
