Experimental support for local TV extras
With the latest preview build, local extras are supported for Plex TV Series libraries. Note that as this is a very new addition not all clients will have equal support for this.
There is support for the extras at the Show, Season and Episode level, the required naming for these is detailed below.
Shows and Seasons:
Follow the same guidelines as per local movie extras: Local Files for Trailers and Extras | Plex Support
Example:

/Trailers

Trailer 2.mkv
/Featurettes

/Season 01
/Behind The Scenes

Episodes:
Episode extras must be named exactly like the episode it’s accompanying. Use the suffixes outlined in the “Inline extras” part of Local Files for Trailers and Extras | Plex Support.
Example:
Game of Thrones - S01E01 - Winter is Coming.mkv
Game of Thrones - S01E01 - Winter is Coming-deleted.mkv
Game of Thrones - S01E01 - Winter is Coming-featurette.mkv
You can add multiple episode extras of the same type by adding a number index to the end of the suffix:
e.g.
Game of Thrones - S01E01 - Winter is Coming-deleted1.mkv
Game of Thrones - S01E01 - Winter is Coming-deleted2.mkv
Game of Thrones - S01E01 - Winter is Coming-deleted3.mkv
Client limitations:
As mentioned earlier, this feature has limited support for now and not all clients will show all the extras. From preliminary testing here are where some clients sit with compatibility:
Web Client: Only supports extras at the Show level. There is a bug currently where the extras may disappear, you’ll need to leave the show screen and go back to it to get them to display again.
Android and iOS Mobile devices: These are generally found to support all the local extras types.
Android TV and Apple TV: Support at the show level.
This information will be documented on our support pages once the feature is stable.
