Incorporating multiple versions of a movie together (not collections)

[asquare3376 6]

Apologies if this feature already exists and I am not aware of it but this is what I'd be interested in seeing on emby (screenshots are from Plex)

When you have 2 or more versions of a movie (e.g. theatrical/alternate/director's cut etc. OR, just teh same movie ripped in different bitrates 4k, HD, SD etc.), can we present the user with an option they have in Plex to choose the version they want to play (instead of having multiple entries/thumbnails for the same movie, one each for each type)

It'd be such a nice to have thing

Have a read here:

You can also Multi-select and choose "Group Versions" from three-dot menu top-right.

one last question here - how would you 'ungroup' the items?

There will be "Split Versions Apart" in grouped/multi-versioned item Detail screen (at the bottom).
