Interview clips are misidentified as alternate versions of the movie

[uncle_yuri 1]

Hello,

I'm using a pretty vanilla setup (new server setup, pretty much all default options) and have been following along with the suggested naming structure, but hopefully I've just missed something simple here.

I have the following file structure in place:

• D:/Video/
  • Movies/ (this is the library folder, content type is movies)
    • Dawn of the Dead (1978) {tvdb-923}/
      • Dawn of the Dead (1978) - Extended Edition.mkv
      • Dawn of the Dead (1978) - US Theatrical Edition.mkv
      • interviews/
        • Chris Romero.mkv
        • Tom Savini.mkv

My problem is that the interview clips are showing up not as extra features, but as alternate versions of the film:

 

I haven't uploaded many movies, and this is the only one where I tried to add alternate versions. I'm wondering if there's some kind of bug involved, or if I just have an issue with my setup.

Thanks!

Hi, what if you rename the folder to:

Dawn of the Dead (1978)

Hi Luke, that did fix it actually.

I also noticed that I had added {tvdb-923} when it should've been {tmdb-923}. I thought that would be the "other" fix, but when I tried using the right tag, it reverted to the problem behavior. Any idea why that is?

(Basically I mean, I thought it would be 'best practice' to add a definitive TVDB/TMDB identifier tag, but if it's better to just use title and year, I'll stick with that)

@uncle_yuriI think you can still use this folder naming

folder : Dawn of the Dead (1978) {tmdb-923}

But then you media files will also need to be named like that.

• Dawn of the Dead (1978) {tmdb-923} - Extended Edition.mkv
• Dawn of the Dead (1978) {tmdb-923} - US Theatrical Edition.mkv

And yes that will help Emby better to identify the movie, when you use {tmdb-XXXXXX}

Ok, it all makes sense now. That was the missing piece. I added that tag to the filenames to keep them identical with the folder and it's all working like it should be now.

Thanks folks!
