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?

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.

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...

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.

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?

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. :/

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

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!
