Hey there! Great Work! Thanks! Did check the Naming convention documentation for Videos in a Library -- Home Videos -- but failed to find the following use case: Checked also Running on Synology 7.2 with Emby version 4.8.8.0 (Latest one available to be installed from Synology Application Package). I have the NFO Metadata Plugin 1.0.82.0 -- options to Read from NFO are enabled. Options to write into NFO files are disabled. Use Case: I have multiple versions of "Some Video (2014)" - Home Video. So no ImDB, TvBD, etc. I have created one NFO file with associated Metadata. In a single folder/single file combination all goes smoothly and Emby loads up all the Metadata correctly. Now if I have multiple versions I wonder about the naming convention for the main folder, default video file version, NFO file name and then other video versions naming. Tried a few combinations. Option 1: recognises metadata for Some Video (2014)/Some Video (2014).mp4 and other files are treated as different videos. Some Video (2014)/Some Video (2014).mp4 Some Video (2014)/Some Video (2014).nfo Some Video (2014)/Some Video (2014) - 4K.mp4 Some Video (2014)/Some Video (2014) - 1080p.mp4 Option 2: Recognises metadata for Some Video (2014)/Some Video (2014) - 1080p.mp4 and other files are treated as different videos. Option 3. Same as 2. but naming NFO file movie.nfo Option 3. Same as 2. but added more NFO files for each version: end result is multiple independent Videos in the Emby Server Some Video (2014) - 1080p/Some Video (2014) - 1080p.mp4 Some Video (2014) - 1080p/Some Video (2014) - 1080p.nfo --> Tried also naming this file movie.nfo Some Video (2014) - 1080p/Some Video (2014) - 4K.mp4 Some Video (2014) - 1080p/Some Video (2014) - 1080p HEVC.mov Any option/combination that would make this work? Thanks in advance for any support!

I have several movies in multiple editions, ie Theatrical, Director's Cut, Extended Edition, etc. Right now I have these movies in the same root folder, such as: /Taken (2008) /Taken [Theatrical] (2008).mkv /Taken [unrated] (2008).mkv Both editions show up as a separate entry. As of right now, I've just taken to changing the name of each entry in the server so I can tell them apart. What I'd like to know is if there is a way to elegantly group them together under the same entry and choose which one to play after I select the movie from the main movie menu. I've thought about putting the non-theatrical versions in a "special" folder, but I was wondering if there was a better way to do this. Thanks, Chris
