"Extras" Interface Enhancements

I’d like to see a “Play All” option for “Extra

There’s already an existing suggestion discussing this feature.

Feature Request: Play All Extras

Would love a “Play All” button on the movie extras section somewhere. It would be handy to just hit play on the extras and watch them all back to back, particularly since many movies have multiple, very short extras. This creates a problem where the user has to re-navigate back to the list of extras and find the next one to watch over and over again - very cumbersome. Sometimes, after a good movie, you just want to eat up all the extras without having to click through them one by one by one b…

an additional Extras screen that would allow for different sorting options

I‘m not 100% sure what you’re looking for / trying to achieve. There’s a few existing suggestions dealing with this context.

Add Advanced Language and Sorting Settings for Extras

Since my Plex Server will have many international entries and extras that have been produced in their original langauges exclusively, I was wondering if it would be possible if the advanced settings could be enhanced one day so that users like myself would have the option to enable the “Always On” setting for the Extras’ subtitles. This way the users wouldn’t have to manually turn the subtitles on every time they want to watch the extras for their shows. It would also be helpful if more customi…

Extras grouping

Every plex client I’ve used seems to just list extras in a single list. After ripping a few dozen extras from the feature discs, it’s fairly hard to find anything. I’m not sure what the solution is from a UI perspective, but the current method doesn’t work for more than a few extras. Perhaps grouping by the native categories (behind the scenes, deleted scenes, etc), or a way to change the sorting order (flagging favourites, rating extras, or something else).

display alternate versions of the movie

You can use the Editions feature to manage alternative cuts/versions. Those will be listed in a separate hub on the movie details page.

@Ianwohlgemuth

an option to play the movie with the “commentary” audio tracks or subtitle annotation track.

There’s also an existing suggestion discussing this feature. I remember this used to be a thing with DVD menus - though personally I’m quite happy with the option to select tracks on the movie page (or during playback)… however that’s just me and shouldn’t discredit the suggestion

Commentaries tracks as "extras"

The TLDR: The “I’ve got time to burn”: As I’ve added more and more media to my library over time, I’ve learned more and more about what is possible in different file-types, encodings and so on, and it always stings a smidge when I see something that would be fairly useful that isn’t implemented. Really, that applies to a lot of different software (why oh why does no one support animated heics or PNGs?) but I dunno, for some reason I really feel it with my media libraries. Anyway, the one I’m…

Please comment/vote in those threads in order to help us avoid distracting or cannibalizing votes. Unless I’m missing some unique aspect of your suggestion I’ll close this thread as a duplicate.
