Expanding the current SD/HD version functionalityW00t first thread in here! I'll copy/paste from a thread elsewhere previously :). What would be great is if Plex lists a movie once, but when you select it it then comes up with all the multiple different cuts that you've got in your PMS.

Yep :slight_smile: Client the “like” on the very first post. Send them emails, send them tweets – basically we need to keep letting them know its important to us

I also had this issue for a while but realized that I’m looking for something that might be a bit unreasonable. My guess: Plex uses fuzzy matching of title and year from the filename to grab metadata from IMDB. And IMDB does not maintain consistent structured data about non-theatrical non-premier…

@ankushnarula I think it could be done relatively easily using the file naming tags though. Something like: Avatar (2009) -theatrical.mkv = Theatrical Release Avatar (2009) -extended.mkv = Extended Cut Avatar (2009) -special.mkv = Special Edition Avatar (2009) -director.mkv = Directors Cut A…

I don’t think it would even have to be that complex. Use the multiple version picker that already exists. Have a space in the name that describes the version and have that appear in the version picker

@SerenadeXS - wait, what is the version picker that already exists?

@ankushnarula - I know. There’s nothing standard about how they choose to name those things. We’d just have to pick a few common terms and let users apply those to their movies as they see fit. Kind of like -featurette, -behindthescenes, and -deleted are somewhat generic while the actual DVD might c…

Yes, at a minimum it needs to be more descriptive in the popup where you select the versions. Maybe if it had the length of each file it would be OK, maybe if it had the filename, maybe if it had the differences in the filenames

“Note: This feature is not intended for situations where you might have, for instance, both a “theatrical” and “director’s cut” version of a movie. Likewise, it is not appropriate for 2D vs 3D versions. Those situations are best handled by Splitting the movie into separate library items.” Still wai…

@kamererhouse Actually Batman v Superman was released on iTunes as “The Ultimate Cut”. “Alexander” had a “Final Unrated Cut” followed by an “Ultimate Cut”. And then you will find “Mad Max: Fury Road - Black N Chrome Edition” and so on. Don’t get me started on Criterion Editions.
