Keeping DC and Original both in a PLEX collection?

Hello,


I was wondering if it is possible to have 2 version of the same movie in a PLEX-collection, renamed by FILEBOT with the correct code. Atm, I'm using the following code for my movies:

Code: Select all

E:\[Video]\{ plex * { allOf{ languages =~ /eng/ ? null : languages.name[0].upper() }{genre}{director}{vc}{vf}.joining(', ', ' [', ']') } }
and I'm wondering If I can get these movies:

Code: Select all

Donnie.Darko.2001.REMASTERED.DC.1080p.BluRay.x265-RARBG
and

Code: Select all

Donnie.Darko.2001.THEATRICAL.REMASTERED.1080p.BluRay.x265-RARBG
in my collection, correctly named and both visible in my PLEX media server?

Thx in advance!

It’s more of a Plex question. AFAIK, fundamentally not a problem, but the more you diverge from standard naming, the less well it’s gonna work.

Adding {tags} at the end of the file name should be fine. Not sure if Plex is cool with strange folder naming though. You probably want all the variations of the movie in the same movie folder.

but I would do it on the folder level like with KODI
because you can only have one file named movie.nfo
