Title Switch (based on Version-Selection)

[Anderella 13]

Hi,

just upgraded (and jumped over some versions) to server version 4.9.5.0

And as I previously didn’t put different versions of movies or different resolutions of a movie in one folder – cause of structure reasons - I’m really very, very happy that at this point emby obviously made a move to support versions based on movie-id.  (one thing I liked very much with infuse).

Thank you!

But:

Although Emby switches (based on version selection) length, language and subtitle fields accordingly, the title (from nfo) stay’s the same, which unfortunately doesn’t allow me to select the version I wanna watch. Enclosed screenshots for example „Blade Runner“ – I have different versions and cuts of the movie.

Right now there's no way to select the "Final-Cut" or the "Working Print"....

I hope you can implement a kind of „Title-Switch“ soon. (And in this case "remembering" the watched/started version of the movie would also be very, very welcome;)

__________

I also figured out that obviously „new added versions“ of an existing movie are not visible/shown as „new movies“.

Maybe I missed: Is there any option to switch this on or off? (Example: Some movies I already own, I re-buy on bluray or UHD or get a new remastered version, but this "new entry" is not shown)

 

Thank you so much for all the great work, I’m a big big Emby-Fan and very happy user.

Hi.  This is just a naming issue.  If you name your versions properly, you will see them in the drop down.

Movie Naming

Re-Organizing all my library is still not an option for me, cause of folder structures and strict common naming formats in my lib since beginning.

DVDs or Bluray's or TV-Recordings are all located on different "places".

That's why I love that "Versions" are now supported, and hope that "Title-Switch" or Info will follow......

(please don't tell me I have to switch back my library to a previous version of emby-server)

It works fine already.

@crusher11is right

Its all about the naming.

Well, it's not.

The "Versions" option is an "option" since years, if you put all movie versions in one folder and name the files different. Which was - as I wrote - never an option for me.

So my organisation worked well and "Blade Runner" search found 6 entries with different titles and different covers (DVD, Bluray....).

Now - obviously versions are also found via movie-id, what really makes sense and is great (as working under infuse front-end), but right now my library is kind of messed up, without showing the differences, if I select a movie with different formats or versions in my library.

How are your files and folders named?
