How you you name or list the same movie but in different versions? For example Blade Runner and Blade Runner Directors Cut? I currently have them both in separate folders, and both the folder and the file inside are called the same thing - for example:
Hereās what I would do (though, being my favorite movie of all time, I only include the Directorās Cut for viewing): Using Subler (so as to not re-encode the movies), select two different poster art for the corresponding versions. Then when you see them come up, youāll be able to identify immediately. This will require that you tell InFuse to use your meta-data and not go an fetch it from the Internet (also something I do, as I prefer to use classic poster art). Not the only solution, but one I would use. Good luck.
Hello,
I fully agree with eon_designs. This should be something that Infuse should support. I have a couple of movies with this problem myself (Gladiator, The Lord of the Rings, Avatar, ā¦).
The solution could be something similar to the āSeasonā-View where multiple episodes of a TV show get grouped together and which Infuse already supports. This way, if Infuse finds movies that map to the same TMDb entry could be put on the same movie title (just named Version 1 and Version 2 (and so on)). In addition, a naming Syntax would allow us to name the editions for better sub selection. Instead of showing episode Version 1, 2, 3 Infuse would show the versionā description in the sub selection.
Example: āGladiator [Directorās cut].mkvā and āGladiator [Cinema Release].mkvā would result in a single āGladiatorā tile with two āepisodesā āDirectorās cutā and āCinema Releaseā in the detail screen.
One additional comment: This could also help to group special features/bonus content for a film to the same tile. For example āGladiator [Making of]ā could lead to a third entry in the Gladiator tile.
Some really good comments here. Iām in the process of transitioning from Kodi on to Infuse and thatās one of the few things that Kodi does really well. It automatically groups movies together. For example, all the Star Wars films are grouped under Star Wars Collection. However, it has the flexibility to make your own groupings too.
As I said in another topic, really love Infuse and know that it will just get better and better.
Reviving an old thread as Iāve tried to tackle this multiple ways. I currently have a folder for Blade Runner - inside are:
Sub Folder>Blade Runner - Theatrical Version (1982):
Blade Runner - Theatrical Version (1982).mkv
folder.jpg
I have this structure for 3 versions of the film (Final Cut, Theatrical, and Workprint). All three have different names, posters, dates, etcā¦ Infuse will sometimes pull in the correct artwork from the folder.jpg image but then almost immediately goes back to showing the MVDB poster for all 3. If I turn off fetch metadata it still exhibits this behavior. Can I turn off fetch metadata and tell Infuse to refresh the embedded metadata? Thanks!
Apparently, I have to turn off metadata fetching globally even after telling Infuse to use embedded for an individual file. It āsticksā now but I also have to go in an match each new movie I add.
Great! Is there a guide on backup/restore of metadata for Infuse? Iām backing it up to iCloud but is there a manual way to restore if something wipes out all the manual editing Iām doing? Thanks again.
