cenunix 0 Posted September 21, 2023 Share Posted September 21, 2023 So, I thought that having two items with different resolutions would combine them into one item, and give me the option to select which version. I believe i have followed the naming scheme to achieve this, am I making a mistake somewhere? or perhaps i need to clear cache or something? I'm using filebot to name all of my media, so I have deleted the library, recreated it, and tested it with one single item to make sure my naming conventions are good before I scan the rest of the library. (these files are symlinks, if thats important) https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/307521333926035457/1154395142883647611/image.pnghttps://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/307521333926035457/1154395030228832327/image.png Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pwhodges 1540 Posted September 21, 2023 Share Posted September 21, 2023 For automatic multi-versioning of movies, put the files in the same folder, name them the same as the folder plus a hyphen (with spaces is OK) and a simple description which will go in the selection dropdown. Note that "the same" means exactly that, not "pretty similar" which is where a lot of people go wrong. e.g : Folder: My Movie (year) file 1: My Movie (year) - 1080p.mkv file 2: My Movie (year) - 4k.mkv The dropdown selector will show "1080p" and "4k" Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cenunix 0 Posted September 21, 2023 Author Share Posted September 21, 2023 I see, did you see my screenshot of file names? (down below). If i'm understanding correctly, should my file names also include the [tmdbid=64688]? in the wiki post tmdbid was not in the folder name, which is probably where I assumed wrong, thanks.

Correct - the filename needs to contain EXACTLY the same name as the folder. In your case - /21 Jump Street (2012) [tmdbid=64688]/21 Jump Street (2012) [tmdbid=64688] - 1080p.mkv /21 Jump Street (2012) [tmdbid=64688]/21 Jump Street (2012) [tmdbid=64688] - 2160p.mkv If using the *arr's to rename - simply ensure you add that variable into the renaming for the filename as well.

cenunix 0 Posted September 21, 2023 Author Share Posted September 21, 2023 Thanks everyone, not sure why I didn’t think to try that, but am glad it’s all working smoothly now, cheers ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EFEris 6 Posted December 16, 2023 Share Posted December 16, 2023 I had the same problem today and it took quite sometime to figure it out, I'm also not sure if this is a good thing or not... @Luke Any plan to make the multi version feature a bit smarted? at the moment my folder structure is with [tmdbid] but not the file names, wouldn't it make sense to detect the movie name seperated from the folder name and then it versions?

HI, yes it's possible for future updates. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EFEris 6 Posted December 16, 2023 Share Posted December 16, 2023 OK thanks for the feedback, looking on competitor naming schema uses {edition-xxx} for edition version labeling which sounds like a okayish way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
