Hello. I have a problem with extras. I followed Movie Naming convention and tried to get Emby to detect extras, but it doesn't work. Here is my current folder structure:

|   Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas (1998) - 1080p SQ.mkv

|       Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas (1998) - TV Spot - True Story.mkv
|       Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas (1998) - TV Spot - Twisted.mkv
|
\---trailers
        Trailer.mkv

 

Originally, extra's filenames didn't contain "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas (1998) - ", there were just their titles, for e.g just "Breakdown on Paradise Boulevard.mkv". I've added those in hope it would help Emby detect them, but to no success. I've tried renaming extras folder to featurettes etc, re-scanned library a couple of times, refreshed metadata and I still see no extras :(

Am I doing somethig wrong/missing something with naming or is it a bug? I found some old posts with people having problems with extras and multi-version movies (just like mine), but usually they either had bad naming (folder name didn't match video names) or additional folders (which is why I added "." and ".ignore" to "Covers & Screenshots"). For my eyes, everything seems fine in my case. I attached a log.

Nothing stands out as replicating info provided works.

You mean that extras files are found according to the log? They don't appear when browsing library, both in the browser and Android app.

You will need to enable debug logging for more info but testing the structure/naming provided I did not see any issues.

example

All right, seems that I found what was the issue. I had Emby pointed directly to "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas (1998)" folder, inside of which there were 3 versions of the movie and "extras" and "trailers" folder. I've realized, that with multi-version movies, Emby looks for folder name in which there are files itself, but since it was pointed directly to that folder, it only "sees" what is inside, ingoring its name.
So I created a new folder "F&L in Las Vegas", and then put "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas (1998)" folder inside it. Here is the structure now:
 

Spoiler
F:\Pulpit\Filmy i seriale\Filmy\F&L in Las Vegas\Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas (1998)
|   Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas (1998) - 1080p SQ.mkv
|   Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas (1998) - 1080p SQ.nfo
|   Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas (1998) - 1080p.mkv
|   Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas (1998) - 1080p.nfo
|   Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas (1998) - 720p.mkv
|   Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas (1998) - 720p.nfo
|
+---.Covers & Screenshots
|       .ignore
|       Cover.jpg
|       Disc 1.jpg

|       Breakdown on Paradise Boulevard.nfo
|       Deleted Scene - The DA from GA.mkv

|       Fear and Loathing on the Road to Hollywood.nfo

|       Hunter Goes to Hollywood.mkv

|       TV Spot - 3 Days.mkv
|       TV Spot - 3 Days.nfo
|       TV Spot - Come to Las Vegas.mkv
|       TV Spot - Come to Las Vegas.nfo
|       TV Spot - Defined a Generation.mkv
|       TV Spot - Defined a Generation.nfo
|       TV Spot - Great While.mkv
|       TV Spot - Great While.nfo
|       TV Spot - It's Not.mkv
|       TV Spot - It's Not.nfo
|       TV Spot - True Story.mkv
|       TV Spot - True Story.nfo
|       TV Spot - Twisted.mkv
|       TV Spot - Twisted.nfo
|
\---trailers
        Trailer.mkv

 

And then Emby is pointed like that:image.png.f5a305194e66d71d21a1aa86b75ae3d1.png
instead of being pointed directly to "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas (1998)" folder.
 

Now both extras and trailer are found :)

Thank you for help @Happy2Play

Is there a reason you don't just point to "F:\Pulpit\Filmy i seriale\Filmy"?  You should never point to the actual media item folder.

I just haven't sorted out my whole library yet, so pointed it there, as the movie was named correctly, contained trailer, extras etc. But I will indeed just point it to the main folder in the future.
