Display extras from a series

Hello,

I have a well-known series and it has funny videos or behind-the-scenes videos, etc.

I’ve created a separate library for hot documentaries.

I can see the videos here, but they’re all separate, and I can’t seem to get them to appear together, like (series name) > season 1 > episodes 1, 2, 3, and so on.

I can’t do this either after reading this page:

https://support.plex.tv/articles/200265256-naming-home-series-media/

How do I organize my files in the folder structure now?

Documentary Library > (series name) > Season 1 > Extra S01E02 - Reels

If these are extras which pertain to a certain show or movie, you better add them to that movie or show directly.
If they live in a separate library, a Plex user has a hard time to navigate through to them, or they might not even be aware that those extras exist.

I’m having this random issue, and it’s not working yet. I can’t possibly be doing something wrong, but I can’t see what.

I have:
(series name):

  • Season 1
  • Season 2
  • Season 3

In the Season 1 card, there’s a card labeled “Other.”
This contains the additional movie files.

What are you referring to as “card”?
Which Plex client type are you using?

Sorry, mistyped.
I mean:
In the Season 1 folder, there’s a card labeled “Other.”
This contains the extra movie files.

I have this version on my Synology nas: 1.41.5.9626-72009626.

There are no updates for it and it is up to date says the Synology nas

I tried this a long time ago but I stopped because it didn’t work but I would like to achieve this

What is a “card”?

Sorry, I don’t understand it anymore, haha. I’m translating my text with a translator, and it turns it into “card.” I checked it but I didn’t do it right

Here’s the correct sentence:

In the Season 1 folder, there’s a folder called “Other.”

Which Plex client type are you using?
There are some which are not able to show season-level extras, yet.

My second link above should have a table.

Oh yeah,
I’m watching on an Android TV, so that doesn’t work yet. I can see it on my Android phone. But the name is an old one from an hour ago. I changed the name and scanned the library, empty the trash bin, but nothing changed. I then removed the extras from the map so Plex can’t find them anymore, and they remain permanently in the Plex app (I just can’t play them, of course, because then I get a failed error). What could be the problem?

When I go to the Plex website, there’s always a message that I need to get an update, but my NAS says there’s no update available?

Extras are a bit cumbersome to change.
Remove the file first.
Then Refresh Metadata of the whole show. Verify that the extra is no longer shown.
Then re-add the file with the correct name.
Refresh Metadata again.

If you want to change other aspects of an extra, like adding subtitles or changing the video quality etc. do it the same way.

Yes, that works great, thanks.
Do you know if this will also be visible on Android TV and Plex Web soon?

I did say i have an android tv but i dont know if thats true, i have a samsun smart tv. Is that the same as an android tv?

Is it true that Plex Web indicates I need to perform a server update, but Synology says there are no updates available?

You should manually update: the version that in the Synology Package Center is usually a few releases older then the latest one.

Simply download the latest package for your Synology from the Plex download page:

https://www.plex.tv/media-server-downloads/

Choose the correct package based on the DSM (6,7, or 7.22+) and processor (Arm or Intel/AMD).

Then update from the Package Center using manual install and select the file you just downloaded

okay I will do that thanks

No. Samsung use their own operating system, named “Tizen”.

My TV remote is broken, so I couldn’t check it. A new remote is arriving today. It worked fine with the extras on the PlayStation 5.

Thank you all!
