Versions of the same film
Files with the same title and year — e.g. Dune (2021) - 4K.mkv and Dune (2021) - 1080p.mkv — show as one film. The best one plays by default; pick another under Versions (web), long-press → Play 1080p (apps) or the player's Version menu. Switching keeps your place.
Trailers and extras
- Put them in a folder next to the film: Trailers/, Extras/, Featurettes/, Behind The Scenes/, Deleted Scenes/, Interviews/
- Or name them after the film: Dune (2021)-trailer.mp4, -featurette, -deleted, -behindthescenes, -interview
- They appear under Trailers & extras on the film, not as separate films
Plots, ratings, genres and cast (.nfo)
Silux Media reads Kodi-style .nfo files made by Kodi, tinyMediaManager, Radarr and Sonarr: Film.nfo or movie.nfo next to a film, tvshow.nfo in a show's folder. Plot, tagline, year, genres, score, age rating, director and cast appear on the film's page and in search. Age ratings in a file's own tags are read too.
Questions
Can I search by actor?
