Please describe your bug

As per the doc on Movie: https://jellyfin.org/docs/general/server/media/movies.html, adding a media provider identifiers, such as [tmdbid-1667] on a movie folder works.

But if you add multiple version of the movie, + a featurette folder within that 'identified' folder, all the movie version within it ,including the extras, are considered different movies in Jellyfin interface.

They are all properly identified though.

But it seems these features are mutually exclusive at the moment (v10.7.7)

Jellyfin Version

This works as expected:

Movies
└── Best_Movie_Ever (2019)
    ├── Best_Movie_Ever (2019) - 1080P.mp4
    ├── Best_Movie_Ever (2019) - 720P.mp4
    ├── Featurettes
    ├──── Best_Movie_Ever (2019) - extra.mp4
    └── Best_Movie_Ever (2019) - Directors Cut.mp4

This also works as expected:

Movies
└── Best_Movie_Ever (2019) [tmdbid-11111]
    ├── Best_Movie_Ever (2019) - 1080P.mp4

This produces weird result:

Movies
└── Best_Movie_Ever (2019) [tmdbid-11111]
    ├── Best_Movie_Ever (2019) - 1080P.mp4
    ├── Best_Movie_Ever (2019) - 720P.mp4
    ├── Featurettes
    ├──── Best_Movie_Ever (2019) - extra.mp4
    └── Best_Movie_Ever (2019) - Directors Cut.mp4

--> all included movies are properly identified, but they show up as independant movies in Jellyfin GUI, instead of versions of the same movie, as would be expected

Place each movie version in the same folder and give each version a name with the folder name as a prefix as seen below

https://jellyfin.org/docs/general/server/media/movies.html#multiple-versions-of-a-movie

Emphasis mine. It works as expected :) It could be argued that it should strip the [tmdbid-11111] when doing "building" the versions but that is a change request.

ok, it works as expected if all movie files also include the identifier.
Though the TMDB identification fails for some reason, IMDB works

Have you enabled the tmdb provider? You can also see if Alpha 2 works better (backup before attempting this).

It does work, but I have had occasional failures.
I'm not sure why really, but imdb seems more reliable.

What plain doesn't work for me is the OpenSubtitles plugin, but that's for another issue...
