Fewer and fewer movies and TV series are being released in physical format, but streaming platforms do not provide enough for some film buffs, who miss the extras they offered
I imagine most people don’t care, but I love commentary tracks and behind-the-scenes stuff. I’ve been ripping all of the extras from my DVD collection and adding them to my Plex server, with the intention of donating the DVDs to my local library once I’m done.
Short answer is put a tag like “-featurette” in the filename, or add a folder to contain the extras.
Jellyfin supports the same structure as far as I can tell. One thing I’ve found Jellyfin does better is in allowing you to organize extras for TV shows in with each season, while Plex only seems to allow you to dump all the extras into the root folder for the show.
I was hoping someone with experience with Jellyfin would reply here :D. Plex has worked well enough for my needs for a long time, but I keep seeing praise for Jellyfin here on Lemmy and I’m always interested in free and/or open-source alternatives. I’ve only got a handful of DVDs left to rip, and once I’m done with that I’ll be looking into Jellyfin!

I’ve been thinking of doing this for my server. How do you organize the extra features?

Just like @dmention7@lemm.ee said in their reply – I prefer the “folder” method, over adding the tags to the filenames.
