Trying to get extras working my Star Trek Deep Space 9.

I think I followed the instructions correctly, but I’m obviously doing something wrong.

I put it in the root folder names Featurettes with all the other Seasons along side them. Then I added a suffix to the files like “-featurette” which I think is what the directions are asking for, but it’s still not showing up.

Any assistance would be amazing.

You only need one naming schema – applying both can cause some hiccups:

- option 1: add show level extras into a subfolder named `Featurettes` of your show’s folder
- option 2: add show level extras into the show’s folder and add a suffix `-featurette` to their file name

After adding your files, refresh the show’s metadata.  
Make sure you’re using the `Plex TV Series` agent for your library as only that will pick up your local extras for tv shows.

Side note:  
While all tv-show tiers support local extras (shows, seasons, episodes), not all apps will be able to display extras on all tiers (all apps support extras on the show tiers; only the mobile apps support extras on all tiers).

Ok, I’ve chosen Option 1, they’re all in a folder called “Featurettes”, but I removed the “-featurette” suffix from all the files in this folder.

Also, I have made sure that the agent is turned on under:  
Settings \> Agents \> Shows \> TheTVDB is turned on  
(I think this is what you’re referring to)

I’ve also rescanned my Series in Plex, and checked Plex on my iPhone mobile app, my desktop and Chrome browser and it’s still not show up ☹

I’m at a loss, I can’t figure it out.

I’m still missing something.

1. confirm the library’s agent

2. after preparing your library and the extras, refresh the library’s metadata (don’t scan the library files)

# 

If you’ve only added local extras for a single or a few shows, you can also trigger the metadata refresh from the context menu of those individual shows.
