Simplier and nicer "Version" choice

[Tangsgod 22]

Hi!

After 2 years using Plex and being more and more desapointing I decided to give Emby a try
Also, Plex devs are not really listening to their users while i heard that the Emby team is closer to his users. Let see

I would like to share some things that I found usefull/better in Plex and that may be introduce or change in Emby.

Today I wanted to talk about how 2 or more versions of the same movie could be display.

First, in Plex, when 2 versions (for instance a 1080p and a 4K) of a same movie is found, they are automaticly put under the same movie poster while in Emby it has to be done manually by selecting the 2 versions and click on "grouper les versions" in french, I suppose it's "join the versions" in english. 
I would say, the Plex solution is better
Then when it is the moment to choose the version of the movie, in Plex we have to go to the "Plus" option, then to "Play the version" then choose the version. The choice of the version is simple then, it's just  written 1080p xxxxmb/s or 4K xxxmb/s. Here in Emby changing the version is much easier, directly under the synopsis, it is great!  What would be even greater, is to keep it simple as you do for the audio tab and the subtitles tab: 

Video:  - 1080P
             - 4K HDR10
 

I hope that what I said make sense , thank you


Here is what I'm talking about:

Hey up, 

and wecome to Emby. 

Both of your requests are already implemented but depend on your folder structure/filenaming. 

Check out KB article, Multi-version section:

https://support.emby.media/support/solutions/articles/44001159102-movie-naming

In short, if you put all versions of your movie inside a single folder and name them in supported naming convention, with everything after "space-dash-space" being what you want to see in the dropdown, you'll get what you're describing. 

If you keep them in separate folders, then you have to join them manually or use Auto-grouping plugin.
