Using extras with strmlnk files

First of all, huge kudos to James for this new version. I love the addition of movie and tv show extras. I use streamlink files for my movies and tv shows for Itunes purchases, but rip extras from dvd’s. This feature is working for tv shows, but not with movies (it will work with a ripped movie file but not a streamlink file). This is an example:

{6699CD0F-3B89-41E3-A192-1A2CA13F0B98}

Inside the Featurettes folder, these are the extras:

Are the strmlnk and Featurettes folder both contained in a dedicated folder (EG Draft Day) or how do you have them organized?

Yes, they are both contained in dedicated folder titled Draft Day. I have tried with about 4 titles so far. When extras are with streamlink files, they do not show up. When extras are with a ripped title, they show up fine. They also show up fine with TV show files that are streamlink files. Hope this helps!

James, I am curious if you are able to replicate this issue on your end?

Looking into this. Thx

Bug continues in 8.4.1 when it comes to extras. For movies, I have my structure as:

Folder (titled the main movie. i.e. Draft Day (year).

Inside the folder, I have a streamlink file to Apple TV and an extras folder with deleted scenes, commentaries, etc. The extras continue to not show up. TV Shows streamlink files and extras work perfectly.

For movie folders, where the main title is a mkv/mp4 file (not a streamlink file) and an extras folder is also present, then extras show up perfectly.

This is still being looked into. Thx.

Alright, so in the current version, if you would like to use strmlnk files inside a dedicated folder (such as you are) you would want to add the .strmlnk extension to the main folder.

I tested this here with your file/folder names and it is working for me.

Note: The extras I’m using here are just empty dummy files so that’s why they appear with empty white squares instead of preview images.
