Question About Multi Version Grouping

[buddymolly 0]

I canceled my Plex subscription and subscribed to Emby because Emby made it easier for me to have different versions of the same movie in my movie directory. As of 4.9.1.80, this no longer works for me and it only shows whatever random version Emby chooses. Is there a way for me to fix this? If not, will this be fixed or do I need to find a new media server solution? Sorry if I come off as grumpy but this is annoying and having different cuts of my favorite movies is the reason that I switched from Plex to Emby and 4.9.1.80 seems to have broken this for me.

For example, I have both have versions of Rocky IV. They both showed up fine in Emby before 4.9.1.80. I only get the first one showing now.

Rocky.IV.1985.1080p.mkv
Rocky.IV.Rocky.vs.Drago.1985.mkv

Hi, it sounds like you don't want the automatic merging, so just disable this in the options for the library and then run a scan.

@buddymolly has this helped?

I did disable this Merge the contents of the top level folders when using folder view but I was still missing the different versions of the same movies. I just moved all of my versions of one movie into it's own folder and they seem to be showing up. It looks like I will need to manually fix them but this is a good start.

 

Looks like I spoke too soon, they just finished updating and they are gone again. I will try and find time this week to see if I can somehow make it work.
