I was about to start a new thread when I saw this one. I’m not sure if I’m reading some of the above posts right, but it sounds like some people think the [Plex Dance](https://forums.plex.tv/t/the-plex-dance/197064) has been made unnecessary somehow (at least for movies and TV), but that does not seem to be the case for me at least. I’ve been trying to add a single new extra/featurette file for 10-15 movies, but Plex keeps refusing to recognize/add the extras unless I do the [Plex Dance](https://forums.plex.tv/t/the-plex-dance/197064) (after which it does work). I have several hundreds of these extras piled up waiting to be done, but it’s extremely unworkable to do this if I have to dance with every one - especially since after the dance Plex has forgotten all of the genres and collections I had assigned to the movies when I initially added them into Plex.

Is there really no way to make Plex recognize and add these extra files without having to dance every time?
