Both of those are being detected by Emby as 'Extras', not movies, so you probably have an issue with your folder/file structure. Sharing a screenshot of that structure will probably help you get some help.

Here is the Extras folder

Aren't those hidden files made by the filesystem?

No they are not hidden files.

I have tested, show hidden files, nothing is hidden

And does right click edit metadata show the same path for both item?  But server log from when it was added would be needed.  Otherwise, it will only be guessing.

But it is or was a file created by your environment/filesystem per the attached link above correct?

I don't know, because I can't find such a file in Nas either

Don't own MAC or Synology but this is a known interaction of the two per the internet.  Why you are not seeing the file I don't know but Emby is so it was there or is hidden.

Emby Server does not ignore files that are marked as hidden, so that is why you see it in Emby.

But files that start with a dot are supposed to be ignored. For whatever reason this probably isn't happening for extras, but we'll take a look at it. Thanks.
