hi, how do i see my bonus / extras for tv shows? , they arent showing up in my library. Server Version#: Player Version#:

Stupid question… Are you following naming conventions for the bonus content and placing those items in a Season 00 folder? Don’t mean to assume you aren’t, just eliminating the Easy Fix first. :slight_smile: For example: Buffy the Vampire Slayer/Season 00/Buffy the Vampire Slayer - S00E01 - Un…

To be clear, Plex does not support extras for TV shows like they do for movies. Any specials/extras must be placed into a “Specials” or “Season 00” folder, named using S00Exx format, and match accordingly in TheTVDB. If you want to add something not listed in TheTVDB, use a fake episode number not…
