How to add Extras/Featurettes to a Collection?

Hello All,
I successfully add Movie exras such as interviews, Making of and so on, these are in folder labelled Featurettes and appear under the Movie.

The problem I have now is how to add something link Featurettes which appear under the movies listed in a Collection.

These extras relate to the whole movie collection (‘Carry On’ films if you’re interested!) and are not specific to one of the films, but are relevant to the whole series of films.

I tried to add a Featurettes folder but this doesn’t work.

Can anyone please advise me how this might be possibly done?

Thank you!

Andrew.

It can’t be done. There are no extras for collections.

Oh, OK… Thanks for letting me know.

An alternative approach could be to have a separate library for that kind of media.

I’ve created a library „Specials & Featurettes“ where I store shorts/extras/featurettes which relate to collections instead of their individual movies. I’m assigning those videos to a same-named collection. This way, they show up in their own „Movies in XYZ Collection“ hub (though not as an „Extras“ hub).

Examples:

  • The Matrix: Revisited is assigned to a Matrix collection
  • The various Blade Runner 2048 prequel shorts are assigned to a Blade Runner collection
  • The Toy Story Toons shorts and the Halloween(?) shorts are assigned to a Toy Story collection
  • Marvel One Shot Videos are assigned to a MCU collection (instead of handling them as extras of the movie with which they were released)

… and how they’re listed below the „main collection“:

Positive side effect… most of those are also listed as regular movies, so I get a full set of metadata/posters… which I won’t get for local extras.
