Developing my Custom Provider Agent and want to accommodate the “/extras“ on a show request.

I think I understand the placing of all the files in each level (show/season/episode) from here Local Files for TV Show Trailers and Extras | Plex Support

My question is what responses should I be sending hierarchy etc to enable matching between the files on the server and the metadata i’m sending back.

There isn’t any documentation about it (similar to /images in the API documentation). But a call is being made (although only on the show level as I only have the desktop to test against at moment) so assume it’s supported but don’t really know what to send back.
