I’m having an issue where I can’t get it to work without creating a new folder for the extras, something I can’t do because I’m sharing this and can’t change folder structure.  
If I understood correctly just by having the filename end in `-extra.ext` or` -extra_type.ext` it should work, right?  
This is my folder structure right now

And it’s not showing as an extra, rather it takes it as an episode

But while checking the log it shows the agent recognizes the extras but figures it has already added both.

Refreshed metadata, did a [Plex Dance](https://forums.plex.tv/t/the-plex-dance/197064), and it still hasn’t shown the files as extras.

EDIT: Had an epiphany a minute after posting and did a [Plex Dance](https://forums.plex.tv/t/the-plex-dance/197064) with JUST the extra files and after Refreshing metadata it worked, leaving this here just in case this solves the issue for someone else
