I'm afraid, but there are no immediate plans for this at the moment.

np - thanks for an honest answer.

Each time when we say yes to something and nothing happens for several years, it causes disappointment for those who are waiting for it, and when those disappointments aggregate, it makes things much worse for all sides, thus it's often better IMO to set expectations straight right away.

The DataExplorer plugin is great for those who need it, but that's a fraction of Emby users. And handling multi-version items in DE is again of interest only for a fraction of DE users. This makes a fraction of a fraction of audience and doesn't weigh against all the big things which are coming up. If it was a straightforward change which could be done blindly and doesn't likely need cycles to get it right, then it's a different story, but it's not a change of that kind, unfortunately.

PS: Still I didn't say "never", just don't expect it

Agree 100% - thus my original response.   I'd much rather know it's unlikely to happen, then be given an undecisive response leaving me hanging.

tbh - I can sort this myself as I already get the multi-version metadata using my enhanced MediaInfo Plugin ...

If you'd want something simple like a link from DE to your plugin page (passing the item id), that'd be another story.

It seems this plugin doesn't work on Emby Server for Android. Below is the error found in the log.
