Hi,

as the original thread is locked I started a new one to ask if there are some news on this topic. 

Kind regards,

I'm also very interested in this feature. I have some videos in different resolutions as well as copies of 3D SBS movies I'd like to use it for, but I almost exclusively use Kodi to access my media library. Thanks for any info!

I followed these instructions:

 

https://github.com/MediaBrowser/Wiki/wiki/Movie%20naming#multi-version-movies

 

and it imports the movie correctly.  However, in Kodi, it automatically chooses the 1080p version instead of the 2160p version that I have even though my Nvidia Shield is able to handle the larger file without issues.  As I type this, it occurs to me that it might be because I have my emby addon set to direct paths.  I'll investigate and report back.

 

 

edit:

 

So my suspicions were correct.  I renamed the movie so that the 4K version comes first.  Kodi then played the 4K version instead of the 1080p version.

 

So it went from:

movie title - 1080p.mkv

movie title - 2160p.mkv

 

to

 

movie title - 1. 2160p.mkv

movie title - 2. 1080p.mkv
