I am trying to get several TV Show extras to do something besides collect virtual dust in their folders. I first started to use the method that is used for the Movie section which obvioiusly didn’t work. So then I made a Season 00 folder with a few extras with the S00_Exx in the name of the clips under the TV series folder so it looks like this:
One of the reddit forums or plex forums I viewed said it would then be able to manually add titles and etc if thtvdb.com did not recognize the special.
Would the metadata be messing with this ability to manually add local extras?
I usually can find out what my issue is either on my own or through other users posts but so far what has been posted has not worked for me so far. Until then I shall let the specials collect dust unwillingly.
Scroll down to “Local Extras” and you will see the complete list.
After you have done the renaming, update the library. they will be there when you go into it.
One example of extras in action, shown for a movie in my example, is:
For Television Series, simply follow the TV naming convention, putting them in Season 0. Actual names I use are:
