icthusman1 23 Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 I know with Movies I can have multiple versions of the same movie treated as 1. Ex: "Movie Name - 480p" and "Movie Name - 1080p". Or "Movie Name - Director's Cut" and "Movie Name - Theatrical Cut". I use this frequently. I was wondering if there is something similar for TV shows though. I checked the Wiki and nothing screamed to me "I'm the solution!". So right now I am ripping a show and some episodes come as original and a second version of the episode with commentary. How do people handle having these included?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37098 Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 Hi, Emby already supports this. As long as they both follow the tv naming guide, both versions will be grouped together similar to movies. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke 37098 Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 Yes. @@cayars will be adding this to the TV naming wiki. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icthusman1 23 Posted June 25, 2019 Author Share Posted June 25, 2019 Just tried it. It is supported! However it is not quite as elegant as Movies. They show, in the dropdown, just the end bits (Directors Cut) whereas shows show the entire file name. Still better than nothing . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution blade005 172 Posted June 25, 2019 Solution Share Posted June 25, 2019 Sounds great. So do I just "-somethingaboutepisode" at the end like with Movies? Do the same as you would with Movie naming convention. Examples below: Original Version: SeriesName.S01E01 - Episode Name Commentary Version: SeriesName.S01E01 - Episode Name - Commentary You should get a pull down option depending on the Emby app used that will allow you to select Original episode or the episode with Commentary. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not a requirement for this feature to work, but it will make the version selection box look nicer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate to argue since you are being quite helpful here, but those are direct copy/paste titles where the only discrepancy is at the very end " - Commentary". If it were stripping off all common starting characters then it should look different shouldn't it? Unless I need a "- something" at the end of both for that to work?

MndWrp 99 Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 Maybe there's a reason to have two files for a commentary that i don't get but maybe you should remux the two in a single file. Saves disk space and is fairly easy to do Sent from my SM-G920W8 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garbonzo17 26 Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 Yeah, something like MKV Tool Nix makes it easy and quick to remux. Or just rip it with both audio tracks to begin with. Sent from my ONEPLUS A6013 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my ONEPLUS A6013 using Tapatalk On the Blu-Ray disc they are separate video tracks, hence ripping the two files. I have never remuxed something and may have to give that a try.

The GUI for it is very approachable Sent from my ONEPLUS A6013 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
