The content of the extras folder is not shown

[Mentalblaze 9]

As i found out that I could add extra materials by using the naming convention, I tried with one movie to begin with. 

But the extra content is not showing.

 

I added it this way:

Film4/My Name is Modesty (2004)/My Name is Modesty (2004).mkv

Film4/My Name is Modesty (2004)/extras/Behind_the_scenes.mkv

Film4/My Name is Modesty (2004)/extras/interview_Peter_Odonnel.mkv

Film4/My Name is Modesty (2004)/extras/interview_Spiegel_and_Tarantino.mkv

 

Have I missed something in the settings or the naming?

Hi, did you run a library scan after adding the extras? Where are you looking for them?

[Mentalblaze 9]

Yes I did. I Have tried a couple of different folders and names and scanned the library each time.

 

And if I understand it correctly, I should have seen the extra material above the Cast & Crew.

Below Cast and Crew.

 

There is a feature request to display above cast and crew.

extras appear below the cast and crew

 

IIRC there was an old thread re this - try changing the extras folder to Extras

I saw another print screen in the forum, where it was above. But that doesn't matter much, I have scrolled down the page as well...

Did you scroll down further?

Cross posting.

 

Can you show a screenshot for the media folder content.

Thanks, I'll try with renaming it to "Extras". 

I was sure it had to be lower case... But I should have tried I guess.

It shouldn't matter, but the wiki shows lower case.  I know in my Windows testing it doesn't matter.

[PenkethBoy 2068]

in linux it would if its significant as its case sensitive unlike windows

[Mentalblaze 9]

The Emby server itself is a Docker container on my OpenmediaVault Linux. So not windows (I posted it here as it also stated "General" and I didnt think this was OS specific...)

 

 

Can you show a screenshot for the media folder content.

 

Not sure in what medium for "media folder" you mean, Windows explorer or one of the views in the Emby library?

[Mentalblaze 9]

It is late here, so I will log of for now. 

But I really appreciate all help on this!!

I'll check in tomorrow again.

The content of "Film4/My Name is Modesty (2004)", explorer.

I just renamned the .nfo to see if I got it recreated, but that have not been updated yet. 

Also just realized I should look in the logs. Nothing have come up yet (maybe I need to give it some more time).

 

Next, I'll activate the debug log and see if that give me more info.

The .iso is the source I have created the mkv and extras from, as my clients have problems with .iso directly. :/

 

[Luke 42081]

Well I suppose a lower case extras folder name is worth trying in case that resolves it.

[Mentalblaze 9]

I renamed that folder as a test when lower case didn't work.

 

I have investigated the logs and added debug log and I found that I had a couple of problems.

Main culprit was that I had permission problems in a couple of folders so Emby wasn't allowed to update the files, even if it worked in most places.

So I fixed that. Then I renamed the folder to "extras" again, as that is what was stated in the wiki and @@Luke suggested it as well.

Then I scanned the Library with "Search for missing metadata" as well as "Scan for new and updated files", just to make sure.

 

And now it works and I get the extras content. 

 

Thanks to all that have chipped in with troubleshooting tips that helped me solve this!
