Local TV Extras No Longer Showing Up

Plex Media Server

Cool, thanks!

Messy in terms of the names being displayed and the order?

Yes… it’ll be an assorted dump of all show/season/episode extras – though based on your previous statement about not categorizing them, that might be ok for you.

Cool, thanks!

Yeah, that’s plenty fine for now. If/when season level works in the other apps I might switch back to season level.

Thanks for all your assistance on this!

I am using Plex server 1.24.4.5081. Trying on Plex Web (on my PC) 4.63.0, and iOS app 7.24. I have a lifetime Plex Pass, and have checked that “Find extras” setting for the Plex TV Series agent is turned On.

The extras don’t show up in either client when I try both these ways of storing them:

You are not adding the file correctly.

I have been trying to manage extras at the episode level (for iOS). I have been able to get the extras to show up at the season level but can’t get it to work at the episode level. In my case I have two featurettes (with “-featurette1” and “-featurette2”) for an episode). When I have the files inline in the season folder (“Show -SXXEXX - Episode Name-featurette1”) it is not working. Am I missing something?

Make sure the base name of those extras is an exact match of the episode file name.

Example:

TV Shows
  Futurama (1999)
    Season 06
      Futurama (1999) - s06e01 - Rebirth.ext           <- the episode
      Futurama (1999) - s06e01 - Rebirth-deleted1.ext  <- 1st deleted scene
      Futurama (1999) - s06e01 - Rebirth-deleted2.ext  <- 2nd deleted scene

In the meantime you can also give those inline episode extras their own title and include it in the filenames:

TV Shows
  Futurama (1999)
    Season 06
      Futurama (1999) - s06e01 - Rebirth.ext                                                                    <- the episode
      Futurama (1999) - s06e01 - Rebirth - 1. Alternate Opening (used for original U.S. broadcast)-deleted.ext  <- deleted scene "1. Alternate Opening (used for original U.S. broadcast)"
      Futurama (1999) - s06e01 - Rebirth - 2. I'd Like to Build a Bot-deleted.ext                               <- deleted scene "2. I'd Like to Build a Bot"

Also make sure to refresh the episode/show metadata after changing your extra file names.

Thank you for the reply. I had been keeping the season and episode numbers matching but not the title before the “-extras” extension. I have it fixed now.
