Setting an overlay if there are multiple versions of an item in Plex?

[velvet heath]

So I was wondering - is there a way for PMM to set an overlay on a Movie (or TV Show), based on if that Plex item/listing has multiple versions attached to it? Below is a mockup of what I'm thinking (the bottom-left icon):

Probably gonna be a plex_search: all: duplicates type of command but I don’t really know

[cold igloo]

duplicates in plex search refers to two separate items in Plex of the same movie (i.e. if you did a "Split Apart") and does not refer two 2+ "Merged" items

There is currently no way to do this that I know of

So if you have a 4K version of Inception and a 1080p version of inception, isn’t that considered a duplicate?

Same for episodes?

Inception IMAX and just Inception to me are not duplicates. Even if both are 4K versions.

      all:
        duplicate: true```

I know IMAX gets treated as a different edition (like Extended Edition, or Final Cut) - so that's a different thing than versions, which Plex combines into one "listing". Maybe that's why the IMAX example doesn't get flagged in a duplicate search?

@cold igloo Think it's worth me making a feature request? Or is it likely not possible, due to Plex limitations?

[cold igloo]

Not if they are within one “listing” in Plex i believe

They are only treated as duplicates if they are separate listings like the new editions feature

[cold igloo]

You can but im not sure if plex shows the number of files associated with each listing

[velvet heath]

gotcha. in case Plex provides that information in a way the PMM could parse in the future, I've made a feature request here

so your speaking of versions where its all one item in plex but you could say play a different resolution. correct? and not the new editions thing plex added

@velvet heath

[velvet heath]

Correct, I'm talking versions, not editions.

[hardy gulch]

this isnt actually true

if you search for dupes youll get items with multiple versions

[cold igloo]

Oh really? It never used to do that

[hardy gulch]

i just tried it on your plex haha

[cold igloo]

I think that may have changed lol

[hardy gulch]

@cold igloo do you have any movies that have extras?

[hardy gulch]

@velvet heath i added it if you wanna test

[cold igloo]

Errrr no idea its an appbox haha

When you say extras, do you mean like the dovetail addon extras? Like imax, imax HD, directors cut?

[hardy gulch]

no i mean like a deleted scene
