Server Version#: 1.30.1.6497 Player Version#: 4.97.3 I’ve been adding local extras to Movies for quite a few years, and I don’t think I’ve ran into this problem before. I use the subfolder method for extras - Trailers, Deleted Scenes, Scenes, Featurettes, etc. A movie I added recently has two ex…

Try to rename them to Deleted Opening and Disused Opening. Then Refresh Metadata of the movie.

Well, one of them recognized the new name :smiley: I didn’t like “Disused Opening” for a title, so I renamed the file in the deleted scenes folder to “Deleted Title Credits.mkv” The file in the Scenes folder stubbornly insists it is still “Opening” even with a new name of “Deleted Opening.mkv” I’…

I don’t think this will help. PMS is not storing a bogohash for local extras.

I’m pretty sure that Plex actually recognized the file name change automatically and assigned the new name before I refreshed the metadata for the movie. The manual refresh didn’t work for the second extra, though. When I have the time, I’ll re-name till I find one that Plex will accept.

I’m going to take a wild guess that it’s something to do with the intro/credit detection and skip and finding the “extras” or credit scenes hidden inside those. The last two beta releases for the server have this in the release notes: (Extras) Improved support for matching TV series extras with …

For the time being, use Anime notation, e.g.: Clean OP 1-scene.mkv Clean ED 3-scene.mkv etc.

Thanks, but how does naming files that way work using the sub-folder method? And, how are the extras named, even if I decide to use the inline method? I’m sorry, but a title of “Clean OP 1” is hardly descriptive of the content of the extra. I’ll do some research on Anime notation, I’ve never even …

OP opening ED ending The numbers are only used when there is more than one version of each (which happens often in longer-running anime).
