I get the same result even when I place all files in the show’s root folder (i.e, not organized in sub-folders) and renamed as the support article suggests ( -behindthescenes, -other, etc)
Your season folder naming seems a bit off, but that shouldn’t impact show-level extras.
Did you refresh the show‘s metadata for Plex to pick up the local extras?
While the web and regular desktop apps won’t currently show extras on seasons / for episodes, the show-level ones should be showing up just fine.
Knowing that I will not be able to have extras in each season/episode (given the availability matrix in the article), I would be more than happy to make them appear on the show’s landing page (i.e. not assign them on the corresponding seasons/episodes). Unfortunately, this does not happen after refreshing the show’s metadata even when the media files are in the show’s main folder (i.e. not in subfolders)
As you can see in the photo, although the seasons seem pretty well detected and organized, the extras appearing are the ones that come “by default” when the show is “initially” detected on my server.
You do not add each tv show individually to the library.
You only point Plex to the parent folder, which contains all folders for your various series.
It is recommended to always add a folder to a Plex library, not a “naked” drive letter.
Which means you better create a folder named TV Shows on I:
then move all the other series folders into that TV Shows folder.
Then add onlyI:\TV Shows to the Plex library.
Hi Otto thanks for the advice, I followed it and it worked.
Since I am dealing with my local files for my movies library in this way not facing any “detection” problems whatsoever, I guessed that the mechanism would be pretty much more the same for the TV shows library, too.
