So my mom was trying to watch Return of the Jedi the other day, and she complained that the version I have is “the one with all the stupid cartoon stuff.” Of course, I know I have both the special edition and the theatrical release, but over the phone I was unable to direct her to the right version.…

I’d prefer not to have duplicate movie entries, even for different cuts. I’d like to merge these editions but still have a switch function on the movie info page. Switching editions would also change the corresponding posters, duration, etc. They’d maintain their unique info, but can be switched, no…

There just needs to be a button called editions, and when you click it, it shows you drop-down menu with all the available Editions if there’s more than one. There’s really no need for multiple duplications in a library.

Hi all. While I am not going to close this out, this isn’t something we have on our current roadmap. As others have pointed out here, we do offer both edition and version support. There is a great article with information about the differences here: https://support.plex.tv/articles/200381043-multi-v…

Having just the file name attached to the chooseable options would be a godsend for me too. It’s very hard to decipher what to choose when I have more than 2 versions. Even though I shouldn’t have more than 2 versions.

Sad that this is still an issue 6 years later.

Making the filename visible would solve my use case, as I especially care about the codec being used, as say 1mbps x265 might even better than say 2mbps x264. Also downloading historical copyright-expired films from archive.org results in all sorts of formats and files, so unless filename is visibl…
