Extras for movies with multiple formats or editions

Metadata & Artwork

First of all, a big thank you for implementing support for extras. In my case it works very well for single movies but I have problems when a movie has multiple formats or editions.

My library is structured with a main folder for each movie. Inside that folder I can have one or more movie files (depending on formats or editions) and an optional “Extras” folder. For example:

- All Is lost
  - All Is lost.mkv
  - Extras
    - Making of.mkv
    - Deleted scenes.mkv

In this case, extras are displayed correctly. Unfortunately, this doesn’t seem to work when there are multiple formats or editions of a movie.

For example this:

- Annihilation
  - Annihilation.mkv
  - Annihilation [4K].mkv
  - Extras
    - Making of.mkv

or this:

- Aliens
  - Aliens {edition-Theatrical Cut}.mkv
  - Aliens {edition-Special edition 1991}.mkv
  - Extras
    - Making of.mkv

is causing Infuse to fail to display extras in the respective movie page.
Worse than that, Infuse will try to load extras as movies with complete wrong metadata.

Is this a bug? Because a structure like this seems logical (at least to me) and easy to parse.

If it’s not a bug, then what is the reason why Infuse won’t recognise such a structure?

And if there is a good reason, how can I manage to display extras in these cases?

Please note that the goal is to display the extras in the movie page, regardless of the selected format or edition.

Thank you

This type of folder organization is not supported at this time, but we are hoping to improve support for folders with multiple editions in a future update.

For now, if you move each video into its own folder you would be able to use these extras.

Thank you for the answer james. What do you mean exactly by “move each video into its own folder”? You mean creating a folder for every format or editions and duplicate :anguished_face: all extras files for every format and editions? Like this?

- Aliens
  - Aliens {edition-Theatrical Cut}
    - Aliens {edition-Theatrical Cut}.mkv
    - Extras
      - Making of.mkv
  - Aliens {edition-Special edition 1991}
    - Aliens {edition-Special edition 1991}.mkv
    - Extras
      - Making of.mkv
