Multiple Versions

[Todd3835 2]

I was referencing Movie Naming | Emby Documentation . 

I was having trouble downloading some BR Rips from my server on the android app. They were 22gb each so I'm not surprised. So I figured let's get out Handbrake, re-encode to x265, which got it down to a reasonable 2gb file. However, Emby now shows 2 copies of the movie. I have "The Hunger Games (2012) - 4k.mp4" and "The Hunger Games (2012) - Bluray.mkv". I'm wondering if I'm doing this wrong somehow? As a test, I tried renameing the "Bluray" to "1080p" and still the same issue.

I'd like to have different copies of the movies. A compressed, and uncompressed. Is that possible? I did try transcoding in the android app to a lower quality and that also failed.

Apologies if this isn't in the proper section. Not sure where to put it.

File naming seems correct. How is the movie folder named?

Spoiler

All movies are in /Movies3/

Both movie files are in: "/Movies3/The Hunger Games (2012)"

Am I supposed to have 2 copies separately in the Collections and Movies sections? Trying to determine if it's working as intended, or if when I open it, I'm supposed to choose a version to play.

You have your filenames named wrongly. 

They're not:

but "Hunger Games (2012) - xxx", missing "The". 

As stated in linked KB article:

Each version must begin with the folder name, followed by " - ".

Exactly same, not approximately or close enough. 

Either rename versions to include "The" at the beginning or rename folder to not have it.

Thanks, I figured it was something stupid I was doing
