How to Group Versions on Multiple Drives?

4.5.0.7

 

Hi, can't find an answer for this. I have a Windows VM running Emby and using local storage on that for movies.  I've recently added a NAS to my network and want to start putting movies on that and keep the movies on the Windows VM for the time being.  I was doing testing and I added a movie to the NAS that already exists in Emby.  When it scans it in, I have two separate entries for the same movie and they didn't auto-group.  Is there a way to fix this?

Auto grouping multi-version only works being in the same folder and named properly.

There is a plug in on the forum that will group your items, or you would use the multi-select option and manually group them.

Thanks for the reply.  Is this the plugin you are speaking of? https://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/63643-automatic-version-grouping-for-movies/

 

I was waiting to test this as I have some people watching things at the moment so I didn't want to interrupt, and wanted to know if Emby natively supported this yet.

Yes

 

Worked perfectly, thanks! I hope this becomes a feature because I hate relying on plugins that could become outdated, but this works for now.
