I'm finally trying to get all my Doctor Who into Plex but the bonus features are driving me crazy.

For example in Season 7 there's a bonus video called "Down to Earth"

Nothing I do can make it show up in Plex. I've tried S00E01 - Down To Earth.mkv

I've tried "Down to Earth -featurette.mkv"

I've tried \DoctorWho (1963)\Featurettes\Down to Earth.mkv

If I name it S00E01.mkv and put in into \DoctorWho (1963)\Specials it shows up but its labeled wrong. There are dozens of bonuses for each Season so I don't wan to have to fix every one.

Try throwing it into Doctor Who (1963)/Season 7/Featurettes/ instead of the root show folder. Also name it "Down to Earth.mkv"

Edit: I'm not finding a S00 listed for this, so it's probably specific to whatever DVD distributor made it. It'll be a custom file with no episode matching

    Tried it and didn't work.

    The frustrating part is that when I started organizing and renaming trying everything Google suggested, I had Plex show the bonus tracks in the season directory. But then I tried putting them all in a /Featurette folder and in all the renaming attempts I couldn't get it back to working like I got one season working.

    So I know if I name it right like s00Exx or -featurette or something I can have them in seperate seasons. They're not labeled right by Plex but its better than not showing up at all.

    I also got it somewhat working by putting them in /Doctor Who (1963)/Specials. But each has to be renamed to match themoviedb.org episode number.
