I just noticed that if I add a certain type of local extras content (for example, -scene or -short, as per the naming convention), these show up in my Movies section as standalone entries rather than under the Extras section inside the moving they are related to.
If I change the extras type to, for example, -behindthescenes, then the extra content appears correctly in the Extras section of the movie.
I am wondering whether this is by design or if it is a bug I should report?
I don’t know if it’s the same bug as reported here or if it has been fixed: https://forums.plex.tv/discussion/210331/added-movie-with-extras-in-subfolder-extras-shown-as-movies-not-as-extras-since-last-patch/
That bug showed up if you had “Run a partial scan when changes are detected” enabled in the server settings. I haven’t turned the option back on to test, and in my case, the extras were in subfolders

That’s probably something different then, as that option is disabled on my system. Also, I ran a full library refresh afterwards so that should have solved this if this were indeed an issue related to the partial scan option.
As it stands, the only way to solve this was to change the type of local extras to -behindthescenes, some of the other options are not working very well yet.

Do you create a folder for each movie as in
/Movies/ <-- Folder /Movie Title (YYYY) <-- folder /Movie Title (YYYY).ext /Some Descriptive Name-scene.ext

Yep, that’s exactly how I do it.
Which server version are you using?
(Settings - Server - General)

Your version is simply too old.
It doesn’t support these other ‘extras’ types.

Understood, thank you.
