roaku Posted August 25 Share Posted August 25 (edited) Are you sure you're following the guide? I don't see a dash ( - ) in your example after the year and before the version name in your example.

They say the multi version feature was only intended for different resolutions/qualities of the *same* cut of a movie, even though, again, their guide recommends using it for multi-cut movies. In addition to what you pointed out, there's also issues with tags and Parental Controls that leads to secondary versions being available to users that shouldn't be able to see them. Here's some feature requests for full multi-cut support you can vote for by adding a 'like': The alternative is to treat each cut like a separate movie, but this has the side effect of Emby treating each cut as the same movie throughout the system. So, if you watch one cut, they all get marked as watched. If you partially watch one, they all will show up separately in continue watching. Since they all have different runtimes, the continue watching/watched mechanisms can get confused and decide you've finished a longer cut before you've actually reached the end.

Happy2Play Posted October 29 Share Posted October 29 As the rule says Each version must begin with the folder name, followed by " - " So as long as translation applies to folder and file you should be fine. I will assume the Alien example above is a typo /Movies /Alien (1979) /Alien (1979) - Theatrical.mkv /Alien (1979) - Director's Cut.mkv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CAPRICORNX10X Posted October 30 Author Share Posted October 30 Luke. There is a possibility that once a movie version is selected for viewing. So in the thumbnail image under continue viewing, will it be possible to associate a different image? For example, to associate images with versions, so that the extended version will have a different image from the original version. And the same goes for the poster, once an extended version is selected, the poster will change to a picture with the extended version. I hope I explained correctly...
