Issues With Extras

I have been playing with adding special features to some of the movies in my collection and I have been running into a few issues…

1. Plex seems to be using the file name for some files but not others. Here is one example:
   

   
   
   
   
   
   
   

2. When using the Multiple Editions feature, Extras do not show up at all. For The Cell, I have my files organized in this manner:
   

   
   
   Three different entries are created for it, none of which include Extras.

1. This is an unfortunate side effect of Plex’s overzealous parsing of “Opening” and “Ending” in extra names, assuming it’s an opening/ending sequence. The only way I know to get around this is to remove those words from the extras (and potentially replace it with a synonym).
2. This is a known limitation, since Plex doesn’t know what edition to attach the extras to. Arguably they should be attached to all editions, but that’s not how it currently works. You need a top-level folder for each edition, each having their own extras (you can use links to avoid tripling the storage space required).
