I’ve been waiting for this feature for ages, but I got to say that in its current state it leaves a lot to be desired for. https://support.plex.tv/articles/multiple-editions/ Downsides of the current implementation - 2022-08-19: Library gets cluttered with multiple instances of the same movie th…

Plex’s addition of Editions was met with a lot of groans over its extremely underwhelming implementation after years of users begging for it. Namely, it was just a tag and fairly useless overall. There were multiple threads on this, but the promises in those by the employees never came to be, and ma…

Besides the things that have already been suggested (especially interested in merging all editions into one) I’d also like to have the ability to specify a short form edition name. It would for example display “DC” in the library view and “Director’s Cut” in the movie view. The motivation being tha…

I don’t think that’s a bad idea, but I would prefer them to figure out a way to fix the layout so a single, longer Edition name is readable.

Yes, the original feature request for proper multiple cut support was created more than 10 years ago. And we still only hit a thrown together solution.

Currently “Other Editions of ____” is listed below Cast and Reviews. The layout showing the “Other editions” should be higher/visible/selectable right away. Both plex features using “versions” and “editions” are displayed poorly in the UI. They should be able to be displayed and selected for pl…

I also think the tag {edition-[Edition Name]} should be shortened to the universally accepted acronym for edition, {ed-[Edition Name]}. This is useful on movies with very long names. Take The Lord of the Rings movies. The Lord of the Rings_ The Fellowship of the Ring (2001) {edition-Extended Editio…
