I have a -scene extra file containing several chapters. I have named them and for the main title chapter names shows fine, but for the -scene extra file they don´t. Are chapter names not possibel for local extra files? ---

From what I remember, local extras don’t support chapters. ---

You’re right, they are showing. I’ve added a dummy MKV file as local extra – the file has named chapters and those appear to be showing fine in Plex Web and other clients. ![Bildschirmfoto 2021-09-12 um 22.13.11](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/plex/original/3X/3/f/3f020c74f3371e0cd3a71e9fde72306183a78508.png) # Have you only added the chapters after adding the extra to your library?

I added the extra file with chapter names and did a refresh. When I added the main movie they showed as soon as I refreshed metadata. What kind of extra did you create, a -scene or? ---

MKV file in a `/Scenes/` subfolder of the main movie’s folder. Chapters added / named using MKVToolNix. Added the file, scanned for metadata updates – nothing else. ---

I just have the -scene file in the main folder. I also cretaed the chapters with MKVToolNix. Strange. I will try to delete the file later and the add it again. Maybe that will do the trick. ---

It helped just deleting the extra file and then adding it again. Now chapter names are visible 🙂 ---
