roaku 836 Posted August 25, 2022 Posted August 25, 2022 (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.

CAPRICORNX10X 68 Posted October 29, 2022 Author Posted October 29, 2022 hi again, I try again with the movie alien (1979) And it doesn't work I wrote one file as alien (1979) And the second file alien (1979) - Director's Cut And emby recognizes it as two separate movies
GrimReaper 4160 Posted October 29, 2022 Posted October 29, 2022 Try naming first movie something like alien (1979) - Theatrical or alien (1979) - Original, rescan.

Luke 40145 Posted October 29, 2022 Posted October 29, 2022 How exactly are your folders and files named?
CAPRICORNX10X 68 Posted October 29, 2022 Author Posted October 29, 2022 Alien (1979l / Alien (1979) - Theatrical Alien (1979) - Director's Cut
CAPRICORNX10X 68 Posted October 29, 2022 Author Posted October 29, 2022 Another thing. Is it possible to translate the movies version names? to the language relevant to me

Happy2Play 9459 Posted October 29, 2022 Posted October 29, 2022 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

CAPRICORNX10X 68 Posted October 30, 2022 Author Posted October 30, 2022 Hi, thanks everyone. I succeeded, now everything works properly.
CAPRICORNX10X 68 Posted October 30, 2022 Author Posted October 30, 2022 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...
