Extras

Extras can be added to movies, show series, show seasons, and music videos in a few different ways, as listed below.

Extras Folders

One of the cleanest ways of adding extras is to place them in subfolders within your media folders.

Supported folder types are:

  • behind the scenes
  • deleted scenes
  • interviews
  • scenes
  • samples
  • shorts
  • featurettes
  • clips
  • other - Generic catch all for extras of an unknown type.
  • extras - Generic catch all for extras of an unknown type.
  • trailers

└── interviews
    └── Interview with the Director.mp4

File Name

Some types of extras support a special option if you only have a single of that type. These options are to name the filename a specific word when stored in the same folder.

Supported filenames are:

  • trailer
  • sample
  • theme - Audio file of the theme song

│   └── theme.flac
└── sample.mp4

File Suffix

If you would rather keep everything in a single folder, you can append special suffixes to the filename which Jellyfin picks up and uses to identify the file as an extra. Note that, with a few noted exceptions, these suffixes DO NOT contain any spaces.

  • -trailer
  • .trailer
  • _trailer
  • trailer - This is a space followed by the word trailer
  • -sample
  • .sample
  • _sample
  • sample - This is a space followed by the word sample
  • -scene
  • -clip
  • -interview
  • -behindthescenes
  • -deleted
  • -deletedscene
  • -featurette
  • -short
  • -other
  • -extra
