Is there any way to have multiple edition tags for the same file? For example, if I have a remastered director’s cut, I would like to tag it with Director’s Cut and Remastered as separate tags, not one tag to rule them both.

Additionally, is there any way to search for editions? Eg: I want to find all Remastered editions in my collection. Searching for Remastered or Director’s Cut brings up only movies or content with that in the name. Nor is there any Category to match.

You can sort by editions.

In Plex Web, select your Movie library. Click on All. Edition is towards the bottom of the list.

Awesome, thanks.

Now if I could have multiple editions for one file, that would be the bees knees.

I have one file, it’s a remastered director’s cut. Presumably I could find just a directors cut, or just a remastered version of that video, but its both. I’d like to be able to tag it as {edition-Remastered} {edition-Director’s Cut} (or even edition-Director’s Cut; Remastered}, rather than {edition-Remastered Director’s Cut}. Hence when searching (Or sorting) I could see it in both the list for Remastered or the list for Director’s Cut.

There will be other cases like this I’m sure. Unrated/Remastered. Director’s Cut/Unrated, etc, etc.

hmmm… feels like a remaster would be a different version, rather than an edition, but I we don’t text label versions so I see the conundrum with that.

I’ll pass it along to team about multi editions for one file but can’t make any promises.

If it has to be a different version, that’s cool too. Just want to be able to have it work that way with the text label.

Some guidance alongside it as well would be useful. Eg:
Remastered - consider this a version and rename the file like so… whereas Director’s Cut is an edition, where you tag it as such. Etc, etc.

yeah there would need to be a whole new file naming scheme to add a version text to that menu which currently only lists resolution/bitrate/codec

That’s fair… so I guess we’re back to having multiple editions :stuck_out_tongue:
