This agent detects local extras in a TV Show directory, and adds them to Plex. It’s quite a basic agent as it only supplies TV Extras, and nothing else. It can contribute to Personal Media Shows, TheTVDB and The Movie Database TV agents. The extras can either be named in the form [title]-[extra typ…

I’m having trouble after recovering my database from a failing disk, I updated the agent to make sure it would be recognized. And it does, but it shows the files both as extras and as actual episodes. Here are the logs. Did a Plex Dance , Emptied the Trash and Refreshed Metadata, but it still picks t…

So if I understand it correctly, the extras agent isn’t misidentifying anything that shouldn’t be an extra, but extras are being identified as episodes. The Plex scanner ignores any files with -extratype at the end, but it seems that the absolute series scanner doesn’t exclude them and the Part 1, P…

Thanks! It somehow worked for those numbered extras but the Opening and Ending still showed up as episodes. Then I deleted and reinstalled the scanner and refreshed metadata and it worked. Thanks for your patience!

Hi Contrary_Cat I’m excited to get this working and think it might be but so far the clients I have tried aren’t showing anything. I’ve tried plex web on windows and Ubuntu, and Client on iOS. I have not checked on my Samsung tv yet. But if I interpret the log correctly (attached here) the plugin is…

Yes, the log confirms that the extras have been correctly added. The problem you have is one of client support: Plex Web will only show extras at the show level and the iOS client only displays extras that are linked to an episode.

After moving to a new server on a Qnap and reinstalling the plugin, configuring it in agents and then restarting everything to make sure everything stuck, I get nothing from any client. No extras in any of my shows. Previously on my Mac, it worked, without thumbnails, but it worked. any clues?

I’m assuming that the agent shows up in Settings > Agents? If yes, please navigate to one of the shows where you have extras, refresh metadata on that show, then once the refresh is complete, upload the log (either here or github) - that should help me see if something’s gone wrong in the code.

After several restarts and meta refreshes it now seems to work. Yay!

Same exact problem here with the extras and also using Plex client on the Nvidia Shield. Once playback ends or if you stop playback, the Plex client crashes. This seems limited to the Shield maybe? I’m not sure, but pretty annoying regardless
