One thing I’d like to see added to Plex is the file name to the “Play Version” window, particularly when all version are the same resolution. Mbps doesn’t tell me anything useful when they’re all 1080p. The problem is when I have multiple versions of the same movie in the same resolution, usually 1080p, like 4 versions of Blade Runner and 3 of Close Encounters. Without the file name I have no idea which is which.

I also have 150 or so movies that I’ve ripped both the 1080p and 4K versions. If that’s the only versions I have the “Play Version” window tells me enough since it specifies which is 4K and which is 1080p. I’d still like that information but all my 4K files have (2160p) added to the title so it would still apply and I imagine it would be easier to code adding the file name to any multiple version title. I don’t want 4 different movies showing, it’s much cleaner with just one showing and multiple versions.

If you name your editions as suggested it’ll list them in the UI

In addition to BobSnot‘s response… there’s an existing feature suggestion to collapse multiple editions into a single library item — in case this is actually about editions.

There’s already an existing suggestion discussing an option for the `Play Version` modal to display more information, e.g. the file name. I suggest you comment/vote in that thread 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.

> So my mom was trying to watch Return of the Jedi the other day, and she complained that the version I have is “the one with all the stupid cartoon stuff.” Of course, I know I have both the special edition and the theatrical release, but over the phone I was unable to direct her to the right version. Ultimately I deleted the special edition from my server entirely to avoid confusion in the future, but this presents a problem. The information provided by the “Play Version” modal is not particular…
