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.

The main issues with TV shows is the nature of them So you have an alternate version of episode 5 of show X. When you are auto playing and hits episode 5 which does it play? I have no doubt some folks will expect it to work with things like the CW Arrowverse crossovers to work because they consider …

[image] BigWheel: which does it play? I mean I’m not too concerned with the TV shows Alternate cuts personally, but wouldn’t there always be a Main Cut? I would assume that would be pretty simple to have it play unless you selected otherwise. For a TV Show I guess if you had a lot of ones yo…

[image] BigWheel: I have no doubt there will be folks that will not be happy, think we missed the mark etc; some folk will be happy with it; and others for whom it is fine but have other concerns. I’m just happy that there is finally some movement on this issue. Whatever the first solution wi…

[image] BigWheel: So you have an alternate version of episode 5 of show X. When you are auto playing and hits episode 5 which does it play? Emby seems to simply choose the first episode in the list.
