Is there any way/hack to add extras to TV Shows

I tried putting suffixes to downloaded videos like -trailer; -interview; -featurette, etc in TV Shows folders, but to no avail.

Anyone knows how to make these videos appear on plex for TV Shows?

Nope, can’t be done. The Local Media Agent is what picks up extras and trailers. This hasn’t been updated to support seeing extras for TV Show libraries.

except you want to consider using the “Specials” season…
https://support.plex.tv/articles/200220707-naming-tv-show-specials/ – it’s not the same but it’s the best we currently have

Would it be a very arduous task for you devs at Plex to update it for TV Shows? I mean can not be that hard, since it has already been implemented for Movies. Its just the same thing that we want. Extras like scenes / interviews and trailers …just put them in respective season folder (downloaded from web) so that the same could be accessed from the pre-play screen.

P.S.: It wont need to pull extras automatically from the web. We will manually place them in respective seasons.

Firstly, thank you for kind reply, Sir.

Secondly, you’re right… thats not the thing I asked for… at all. What I asked for is completely different.

Is there any workaround going on to show extras for TV shows?

I have already requested the team member to consider making an update to one of Plex’s media agents that is able to display the extras that users manually place in the media folder.
