Multiple editions: can't get special features to show up after scan

I've added plenty of extras/specials/featurettes/etc to my film library. I haven't had issues adhering to the Emby naming convention with these sub folders. However, I'm having an issue with them in regards to a film with two editions, in particular, Longlegs (came with 2 discs, ripped both formats), which I've never tried to do before. Currently, I have both editions in the same folder, so maybe that's the issue (to be clear, the films play 100% fine, I just can't get the extras etc to appear even after a scan). I combined the editions from 2 separate film entries in the movie library view to just 1: meaning that there's just 1 "Longlegs" entry to select not two like default, and from within there you just choose the edition via the standard dropdown. The current file structure looks like this:

Movies/
    Longlegs (2024) [tmdbid=1226578]/
        Longlegs (2024) - CrappierEdition.mkv
        Longlegs (2024) - 4kHDREdition.mkv
        (.nfo/.bif/art files stored here as well)
        extras/
            Clues1.mkv
            Clues2.mkv
        interviews/
            interview1.mkv
            interview2.mkv

 

I'm guessing I need to move each edition into its own folder? If that's the case, where should I put all the extras? Thanks!

@Happy2Play are you able to reproduce?

Technically yes as neither version matches folder name so linking does not happen per individual movies even if manually grouped, but don't remember this ever working with mismatched info/Manual grouping.

With both versions following automatic grouping naming extras/Interviews show correctly.

What version did you test on?

Ended up testing in both with same results.

OK, now that I've had coffee and am not logged in as my mom, I renamed my files to include the tmdbid tag so that the prefix before the dash is EXACTLY the same as the folder name. They're still in the same directory, but extras now show up properly even with the two files combined. Thanks!
