Possibly merge these (green circle) 2 together into 1 item view and then just have a pop up to pick the resolution. Similar to when you get the “versions” option.
Feature targeted for users who keep both 2160p DV/HDR10 and 1080p of the same item.
Makes less clutter. Example above is with using PMS but it could work with all shares if the metadata matches
Totally optional toggle in the general setting similar to Show Filenames.
Yeah. And almost 180 likes .
I wouldn’t think it that hard to implement, considering both versions are already treated as the same file by Infuse, anyway (they share TMDB metadata and watch progress status, for example).
What I’ve done is photoshop custom poster artwork (stored locally with each file) to visually differentiate between my movies with different resolutions (my 4K posters utilize the same, easily identifiable top banner) or different edits.
One could take this a step further and create a custom collection that only includes versions of the same movie; and with collection grouping enabled in the library, all these versions should show up under one poster, after which one then decides which version to watch; which would be functionally equivalent to serving this request (though less attractive than a pop-up asking which version to play).
Biggest problems with doing that, though, are this forces users to use Collection Grouping when they’d otherwise not want to, and our inability to override Infuse’s horrid auto-generated collection posters with artwork of our own choosing.

I’ve recently pulled a lot of 1080p SDR-version movies off my server (for titles I also have in 4K DV/HDR) due to space constraints and that’s reduced clutter (since I rarely access my server away from home these days) but still have a few left to take a couple pics:
Would it be possible to change the Version Selection, if you have at least 2 different Versions of the same Movie, say Extended, Theatrical, DC and so forth.
As it is now, you have the file size and container info, which sometimes can be hard to tell, if it is version one, for example The Theatrical Version, or Version two, for example a DC Version (Apocalypse Now, comes to mind).
Put the Versions in conjunction with the name of the file you have natively.
It’s possible to have multiple versions and select one? For example a movie in 1080p or 4K and just select the version you want instead of having the movie duplicated?
A way to find duplicated movies? A have a lot of folders that and movies. It’s a pain going through all the library looking for duplicates.
Check how many episodes I have in a tv show. Example: Breaking Bad “available 55/63 episodes.”
Audio timing? Since it’s possible with subtitles and in VLC I think it should be possible in infuse? Sometimes I have to adjust the audio in VLC to then match it in MKVToolNix. It should be better if I can adjust the audio in infuse instead of VLC.
Be able to restring an episode or movie with the MPA film ratings. Some times an episode has the rating “R” but next episode not and kids can be able to bypass that even with restriction enabled.
I moved your post to a currently running thread requesting this feature.
Don’t forget that you need to click the like button on the first post in this thread to show your support for this suggestion!
Also it’s best to search the suggestions forum for requests before starting a new thread that way you don’t dilute the interest between multiple threads and the devs can focus on one request per thread.
It’s best to not have multiple suggestions in one thread so people can vote for an individual suggestion.
Voted for this feature as well since like many here do not use plex server and I would like to have the ability to use a different format/resolution of the same media depending on the device I am using.
@james this update for multiple versions will detect duplicated movies for example multiple 1080p? I’m trying to clean my library and this way will be easier than going to my GD.
I stumpled upon the multiple editions feature for plex pass users, which lets you tell plex which version of a movie you have, if you have several: e.g. Extended version, Unrated etc.
Does this work with Infuse? So that the data about the version shows in Infuse for ATV? Or is there some other way to show this? (Other than editing the title)
Totally agree, in my case i have a lot of 3D movies and it would be great if i could see some “3D” tag (similar to the new “4K” in order to select the version i wanted to see.
I never thought I would live to see the day this feature was being added! Im actually excited now My son recently asked me why we had so many copies of the same movies and I had to explain to him about the resolutions & how to look a the filename in infuse to pick between 4k and 1080p. Going to be nice to just have a UI prompt instead!
