Can we get a customizable local extras folder for movies and TV ? The current handling of extras is rather rigid and does not play well with other front ends like Kodi/XBMC et al. It would be nice to have the flexibility of custom extras file/folder tags. It shouldn’t be hard to implement and wou…

What do you mean? You haven’t really specified anything actionable here. https://forums.plex.tv/discussion/139657/how-to-create-a-feature-request

I think both us were referring to \Movies\Specific Movie Folder\Extras as folder structure. Both Emby and Kodi are able to index the extras using this folder structure but Plex refuses to do it as an Extras folder is ignored on purpose by the scanner.
