Hey everyone,

I added a deleted scene as an extra for one of my episodes using the local files method described here:  
[https://support.plex.tv/articles/local-files-for-tv-show-trailers-and-extras/](https://support.plex.tv/articles/local-files-for-tv-show-trailers-and-extras/)

Filename: Breaking Bad (2008) - S03E01 - No Mas {1080p}-deleted1.mkv

The extra does show up under the episode, but the display name Plex chooses is terrible. I want it to change the name.

Has anyone figured out how to rename the extra that shows up in Plex?

Assuming the file name of the episode is:

```plaintext
Breaking Bad (2008) - S03E01 - No Mas {1080p}.mkv

```

This will work:

```plaintext
Breaking Bad (2008) - S03E01 - No Mas {1080p} - Deleted Episode Title-deleted.mkv

```

That extra will be listed in Plex as „Deleted Episode Title“.  
Make sure the extra title contains no dash `-`!!

# 

Side note: I would suggest to place the technical gibberish in a set of square brackets to avoid Plex from attempting to use that part to recognize what show / season / episode the file represents.

Edit:  
Sharing an example…

Edit 2:  
I noticed I’ve got that very example of yours 😉

Thanks a lot. The `{1080p}` part was also causing issues for me. After I removed it, it worked.
