horizonbrave 1 Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 Hi, I was reading the wiki regarding naming convention and it suggests to create a single for sub-folder for each extra content (extras, specials, shorts, scenes, featurettes, behind the scenes, deleted scenes, interviews, trailers). I found really time consuming.. because I have to do rename a lot of files folder for each movie have... can I instead just use a single "extras" sub-folder and chuck everything in there? If so, please any con? Can I just leave them named with interview.mkv, cutscenes.mkv and so on? Thanks for any clarification Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aspdend 174 Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 I only use a single extras folder and everything is named the same as the main movie with -extras01 -extras02 etc at the end. Eg deadpool (YEAR) [bDRip-2160p] -extras01.mp4 And that has worked for me - I don't really care about the separate elements being identified specifically, as I only tend to watch the extras once Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lorac 100 Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 You'll see extras under the cast and crew. Doesn't matter how they are named. If you have extras you can't have multiple movies in the same folder though as then emby detects your extras as individual movies.

horizonbrave 1 Posted October 11, 2018 Author Share Posted October 11, 2018 Not if they are named using our extras naming convention. Thanks Luke for joining. So let's say I'll start having multiple version of the movie in the same folder.. do I need to strictly adhere to the naming convention (one folder for each extra) or can I put them all in one "extra" folder? For multilple version I guess we're just talking about different resoluions/encods, right? The wiki actually doesn't mention what to do in case of Director's cut version, Teathrical Releases.. and I'm curious about it Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37060 Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 The wiki does go over multi-version. it's in the movie naming guide. I would check that out. Thanks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't use multiple encodes for different devices etc as I don't need that currently in my setup. However, if I have a different cut of a film, I will normally just store it in the extras folder and it will appear as an extra under the main title. Again, this works for me (As luke said, follow the wiki for the naming conventions) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miggyluv66 0 Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 (edited) Sorry I must be really thick. I've referred to the Wiki that kind of makes sense (but also kind of contradicts itelf by saying you can create an extras folder and place it 'beneath' the movie folder, but the example shows it nested inside the move folder, and it also says 'some folders can be nested, such as 'extras' while also stating that nested folders are unsuported) I've created mine with a film folder: The 7Th Voyage Of Sinbad (1958) inside this is the film: The 7Th Voyage Of Sinbad (1958).mp4 and a folder called extras then inside the extras folder I have the extras. But it's not working? I'm moving over from Plex and thought it would be similar or the same structure. Do I have to change everything (I have about 2000 films) Edited August 24, 2022 by Miggyluv66 clarification Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy2Play 8281 Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 @Miggyluv66 Yes that is correct /Movies /Home Alone (1990) Home Alone (1990).mkv /extras deleted-scenes.mkv All of these work inside a movie folder. extras specials shorts scenes featurettes behind the scenes deleted scenes interviews trailers What is not working? What do you see? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pwhodges 1528 Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 "Beneath" in this context means "nested inside". I would expect your layout to work - it is the preferred arrangement. Can you give a little more detail? Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
