Diiferent Extras/Featurettes for Different Versions of a Movie

General Discussions
1

I have the Theatrical version of Blade Runner and the Final Cut. They are both in separate folders and each with their own set of Extras. All named according to Plex conventions.

They are Split out in Plex as two separate movies which is the way I want it.

When I Refresh Metadata on the Theatrical version it finds the Theatrical extras and adds it to both the Theatrical version and the Final Cut. When I Refresh Metadata on the Final Cut it finds the Final Cut extras and adds it to both versions.

I have done the Plex dance of removing a version and then re-adding it but it doesn’t solve the problem.

To be clear it is not giving me both sets of extras for both movies. It will only let me have the Theatrical extras OR the Final Cut extras.

Does anyone know how to have the Theatrical extras show in the Theatrical version of the movie and the Final Cut extras show in the Final Cut version of the movie?

Do the individual folder names have the {edition-} mark or are these only present in the file names of the two movie versions?

I have the {edition-} mark on the folders and the files of the two movie versions. It doesn’t solve the problem of the extras.
I just tried putting the {edition-} mark on each of the Featurettes folders and that didn’t fix the problem.

Can you try the -featurette filename suffix, instead of Featurettes subfolders?

No luck.
It seems odd that Plex is able to see them as two different movies but can’t separate the extras.

Thanks for checking!
Could you perform the Plex Dance with both editions?

No good.

Thanks for the suggestions.

I posted the question to see if there was something I was missing or if someone new a workaround. It looks like it is just coded this way. I have put in a feature request.

You might clear your browser cache and see if they are still incorrect. I had this issue awhile back and it kinda “fixed itself”, and the problem might have been I was looking at cached pages on the web interface.

Thanks for your reply. The situation you seem to be describing is where only one version of the movie has extras. I have this in my movie library as well and have been able to get it working correctly the same as you.

My issue in this case is that each version has its own set of different extras.
