I know this topic has been rehashed over and over, but are Plex developers ever planning on allowing users to have all their movie and TV Show extras on a single folder called “extras”? This is the sole reason I don’t bother with Plex for videos. I have a sizeable movie collection and have been using the “extras” folder on Kodi for years - I have no interest in renaming thousands of folders to make this happen. It would be VERY nice to have a solution that works on both pieces of software.
Just came here looking, when I rip my movies and TV shows I put all the extras in as well and for TV it is just a bit of a mess. Some stuff like season documentaries and non episode specific stuff is fine to be in its own folder. But when it is a making of, behind the scene, promo, short or deleted scene for an episode it would be nice to have that as part of the meta data for that episode. so you could click and play it from the episode screen itself.
I am just ripping Nikita at the moment and they supply a lot of deleted scenes and I will never remember to go and check after each episode.
Even commentary tracks it would be great to be able to tag and episode as having a audio commentary. So much could be done to the TV side of things to make the experience better.
Just for context…
This thread is in particular about enabling having a single folder for all local extras across movies and tv-shows (/extras/).
If you’re looking to be able to use the “basic local extras treatment” from movies for tv-shows as well – THIS is the suggestion to go for:
This is already implemented and available. If your files contain commentary audio tracks, Plex will show the track name (e.g. Commentary by xyz, Director's Commentary…) in the audio selection.
This is currently working for most clients. There’s a feature suggestion asking to bring it to the few who do not yet support it.
