Extras in Collections

[crusher11 1278]

Is there a way to have extras attach to a collection but not a specific film? I have a lot of box sets that have extra bonus discs (Godfather, Indiana Jones, Harry Potter), and thus a lot of extras that don't tie to a specific film.

Not currently, but it's a good idea for the future. thanks.

Should this be moved to Feature Requests then?

[Luke 43050]

I've moved it, but it's already planned/approved. Thanks.

[crusher11 1278]

Any update?

[Luke 43050]

Not yet, sorry.

[crusher11 1278]

So what does "already planned/approved" mean?

[Luke 43050]

It means this will be in a future update. Thanks.

[crusher11 1278]

Bump?

Well, I tested packing a folder in the collections main folder and of course it does not work.

Right this isn't implemented yet.

[HansWurst 16]

Is this feature still in progress or delayed?

[Luke 43050]

It's possible for the future. Thanks.

[HansWurst 16]

OK, thanks.

Collections with extras are supported now.

Ebr just directing me to this topic and I also think this would be a great addition to allow us to add Featuretts & Extras to the Emby generated collections under the collection library like we do with or to individual movies? 

Sometimes there are extras, deleted, scenes and certain content that are made for the entire collection group, not just for the individual movie(s)

How?

[STR8 76]

A little help on how to get this done if you please?

I tried creating a folder called Featurettes and I placed it in the Rocky collections folder within the metadata folder and nothing then I tried placing it in the Rocky collections folder within the data folder still a no go. Where should the extras folder and content be placed for it to show or be seen? 

[crusher11 1278]

I'm guessing @Lukehas jumped the gun and this will be supported in an imminent beta?

[STR8 76]

awww... Okay that makes sense. 

[Luke 43050]

Oh extras for the collection, not adding existing extras into a collection. Right OK, that is not supported right now.

So extras for a film can now be added to a collection, where they previously could not? That seems...pointless? The entire purpose of the request is to cover box sets with bonus discs that don't connect cleanly with just one of the films in the set. I have no idea why anyone would want to list a film's extras within a collection.

But I still haven't seen this mentioned in any update notes?
