This does not work anymore with 10.8.5:
Multiple Versions of a Movie
Multiple versions of a movie can be stored together and presented as a single title. Place each movie version in the same folder and give each version a name with the folder name as a prefix as seen below.
Movies
└── Best_Movie_Ever (2019)
├── Best_Movie_Ever (2019) - 1080P.mp4
├── Best_Movie_Ever (2019) - 720P.mp4
└── Best_Movie_Ever (2019) - Directors Cut.mp4
@ThomasPGH commented on GitHub (Oct 18, 2022):
I should probably add that the bug only shows for newly added films or when trying to add new versions to an existing film. Multiple versions stored with previous versions of Jellyfin still work as they should.
@ThomasPGH commented on GitHub (Oct 24, 2022):
I just tried it again and it worked instantly. A few days ago it hadn't worked several times. I have no idea what's different now.
@ThomasPGH commented on GitHub (Oct 31, 2022):
It came back. I don't know why it doesn't work.
@ThomasPGH commented on GitHub (Oct 31, 2022):
I checked and copied and pasted the title to ensure they're exactly the same up to the blank-dash-blank part. No idea what's differerent.

Folder name?
@ThomasPGH commented on GitHub (Oct 31, 2022):
The Haunted House (1908) [imdbid-tt0449308]
@ThomasPGH commented on GitHub (Oct 31, 2022):
Here we go. I omitted the imdbid and it works. It's the " [imdbid-tt0449308]" that prevents the files from being merged.
@cvium commented on GitHub (Oct 31, 2022):
The folder name must be a substring of the filename. Glad you figured it out.
@ThomasPGH commented on GitHub (Oct 31, 2022):
Shouldn't the "tip" then be removed, as it is obviously incorrect because it doesn't work with what's mentioned in the paragraph right afterwards?

It does work, but the files must also include it

How about this change to https://jellyfin.org/docs/general/server/media/movies/ ?

"Note:
The hyphen is required. Periods, commas and other characters are not supported. Also, the folder name must be a subset of the movie's filename(s). If this is not the case, files will be treated as different movies."
