Server Version#: 4.142.2 I’m trying to figure out why Plex is ignoring some of the extras I have for TV shows. The Library type is TV shows, the scanner is Plex TV Series, the Agent: Plex Series. The 2 test episodes themselves and the series are recognised. I’ve tried various file naming as below, but the extra never appears either at the Season level, or if I include S01E01 at the beginning of the file. I’ve tried referencing [from the guide](https://support.plex.tv/articles/local-files-for-tv-show-trailers-and-extras/), but I’ve not found the magic combination of naming yet to make it work. Can anyone else spot what I have wrong ? > [adrian@homenas1 House of the Dragon]$ find …/House\ of\ the\ Dragon/ > …/House of the Dragon/ > …/House of the Dragon/Season 01 > …/House of the Dragon/Season 01/House of the Dragon - S01E01 - The Heirs of the Dragon.mkv > …/House of the Dragon/Season 01/House of the Dragon - S01E02 - The Rogue Prince.mkv > …/House of the Dragon/Season 01/Behind The Scenes > …/House of the Dragon/Season 01/Behind The Scenes/thisissometext-behindthescenes.mkv > …/House of the Dragon/Specials > …/House of the Dragon/Season 03 > …/House of the Dragon/Season 02 ---

I’ve also tried moving the folder up a level as below > [adrian@homenas1 House of the Dragon]$ find …/House\ of\ the\ Dragon/ > …/House of the Dragon/ > …/House of the Dragon/Season 01 > …/House of the Dragon/Season 01/House of the Dragon - S01E01 - The Heirs of the Dragon.mkv > …/House of the Dragon/Season 01/House of the Dragon - S01E02 - The Rogue Prince.mkv > …/House of the Dragon/Specials > …/House of the Dragon/Season 03 > …/House of the Dragon/Behind The Scenes > …/House of the Dragon/Behind The Scenes/thisissometext-behindthescenes.mkv > …/House of the Dragon/Season 02 ---

Looking around on the forums I see other people posting on this back in 2021. But the article seems to call out that it should work with this as the example: ```auto /Game of Thrones An Interview With Emilia Clarke-interview.mkv /Trailers Trailer 1.mkv Trailer 2.mkv /Featurettes Special Effects.mkv /Season 01 /Behind The Scenes A look at season 1.mkv Season 1 Deleted Scenes-deleted.mkv ``` So… having the “Behind The Scenes” under the “Season 01” folder should work… but doesn’t appear to. ---

Did you look at it with the web app? That’s among those client types, which don’t show season-level extras yet. ---

Ah okay… I understand now, thanks Otto very much. Seems odd to me that the mobile apps have functionality that Plex’s own web interface doesn’t. I just checked on iOS and I can see it there. Do you know if there’s any timeline for when that type of feature becomes available in the web app? ---

Would it work differently if the server was Windows vs Linux ? My test setup is Windows based, and it seems to work there (iOS client). But the same iOS Client on the QNAP install doesn’t seem to work. ---

> [@ade\_m](#): > > Would it work differently if the server was Windows vs Linux ? No, that doesn’t make a difference. > [@ade\_m](#): > > But the same iOS Client on the QNAP install doesn’t seem to work. Then there is something different on the QNAP. Possible causes include: - item hasn’t got a “Refresh Metadata” yet - subfolders with those extras don’t have sufficient access permissions applied - library is still using a legacy metadata agent (tv show extras only work with the modern agent) - server software version is too old ---

Thanks again. It looks like I had to run a manual Refresh Metadata on the library for it to get picked up. Now I understand the mechanics a little, I just have to go back through all my collection to move files around and rename them ! Oh well thats the xmas week break sorted out 🙂 ---

Oh well thats the xmas week break sorted out 🙂 Tip: [Filebot](https://forums.plex.tv/t/plex-naming-schemes-for-filebot/121538/1 "Filebot") can take most of those duties on a whole tv show’s worth of files. ---
