Wherewas that suggested? As using multiple folders is actually opposite to what is stipulated in KB (though it is feasible to have those and manually group versions or make use of community-made plugin), Emby core requires single movie folder for all versions for automatic multi-versioning.

You're philosophying too much and not providing information asked, if you expect to get any assistance you might think of being more forthcoming. You wouldn't be asked for above is everything was as clear as you assume it is. Since multi-versioning is not dependant on filename only, but folder name and other video files present, information you provided till now helps in no way.


Before Emby gets involved, there are precisely two files in the directory. Yes, I changed them a bit, to try to eliminate ANY possibility of confusion there (one was hevc, one was x256 because that's how Filebot is told to label things)


That's it. The directory is right there, the filenames are right there. Everything follows the docs, 100%. If there were extras, I'd add them to their own directory, again, per docs, but there aren't in this case.


Name your folder as your files or name your files as your folder. It ain't rocket science. Nor does it warrant so much whining. If you do not want to conform to naming guidelines, Multi-select>Group versions manually or use Auto-grouping plugin. Options galore. See no reason why Emby should be pampering to whoever comes with their own idea of how and under which conditions a feature should be functioning as it'll become a garbled mess and more likely than not break something else.


Thinking about it, one never would have thought that Sylvester Stallone, one of the icons of 80s and 90s action cinema, is capable of such a renaissance. After Cop Land from 1997, the Italian Stallion did not deliver anymore for some reason. With his wooden, mumbling and massive appearance, he did not seem to be a fit for box office blockbusters of the modern era. An impressive comeback that would put him back in the saddle seemed unlikely, even for most of his fans. Too many of Stallone's colleagues make their money with DTV movies nowadays. But with his decision to revive his legendary Rocky character in 2006 and awaken nostalgic feelings by doing a new Rambo movie two years afterwards, Stallone hit the bull's eye (and also his only real chance to reestablish himself). With the Expendables franchise, he followed that path with further development. He made old school action fans happy with a basic idea almost taking place on meta level: reactivating veterans from the macho-like, testosterone-filled action cinema from back in the day and sending them out for action as a group. It was no problem for the audience that the result was not very sophisticated or innovative. Seeing the action heroes on the big screen again working together as a group this time was sort of nostalgic and romantic. Who would have thought 8 or 10 years ago that it would possible that Chuck Norris, for instance, would give his comeback in a motion picture? Viewed in this light, one can only congratulate Stallone for his decision. He seemed to have a feeling for what fans want for quite some time. Unfortunately, he seems to have lost his way with The Expendables 3. A faux pas with consequences. Among those who made him important again, he has lost a lot of credit.




It is one thing if one adds fresher, younger faces to the cast. There are people who can really handle themselves in this area. But that was not enough for Stallone. He intended to transfer the rejuvenating cure to the audience, as well, and thrill teenagers with his muscly good old boy's club. In order to do so, he accepted to narrow down one of his basic elements from the movies that made him and the others what they were: the violence. Admittedly, there are many intelligent action movies without graphic violence but you can't say that about the Expendables franchise. Also, the violence in the first and second installment was quite graphic, the movies were rated R for a reason. The Expendables 3 on the other hand was rated PG-13 (for violence including intense sustained gun battles and fight scenes, and for language) in movie theaters and that version was shown in movie theaters worldwide.


But sometimes, it takes bare figures to figure out what prefences the next generation has. And apparently, what The Expendables 3 had to offer was not part of that. Sure, it was not very helpful that a version of the movie (allegedly without finalized special effects) was leaked three weeks before its theatrical release, many many downloads were the consequence. The impact it had on the box office result can hardly be determined. But still, that was not the main reason why The Expendables 3 only made approx. $40 million at the US box office. The rating suitable for the mass simply did not attract the mass. It is especially due to the Asian market that the movie made approx. $206 million USD. But it does not really mean that a lot of revenue was made because Lionsgate had sold the rights beforehand.


Well, opinions differ on that question. Given the huge number of differences, 90% of them are violence-related (the remaining differences irritatingly affect the rather harshly critized Antonio Banderas character Galgo), one is almost tempted to agree. It reveals the wide spectrum of alterations, often only a few frames were cut which is typical to satisfy the MPAA. The hostiles may hit the ground after being hit but one does not see the actual impact of the bullets. Stabbing once is alright, more than once is not. More harmless alternate footage and even zooming in on a scene was also a part of reducing the violence to a level acceptable for the MPAA. It kind of reminds one of all the efforts made to get a rating suitable for the masses for the Brad Pitt zombie flick World War Z (comparison). There is one huge difference though: the discrepancy between basic theme and execution did not end up in a fatal box office result for the latter.


Other than that, the Unrated Version also contains longer action scenes during which for instance Jason Statham may show us some more of his tactical warfare skills. But what is really eye-catching is the almost complete lack of blood. Admittedly, some of the CGI blood in the previous installments was way over the top but it also emphasized the filmmakers' intention to position themselves against the often more harmless mainstream action. Keeping that in mind, the Unrated Version is a complete and utter disappointment. Those hoping for a higher body count and for seeing the bullets hit their targets should be satisfied. Anyone else, however, will not be satisfied because the movie simply looks too sterile, too clean. The subsequent match point to improve the overall perception was thrown away. In this regard, The Expendables 3 will always keep his status as a negative exception within this franchise.





Compared are the Theatrical Version (PG-13) and the Unrated Version (not rated) (both available on the US Blu-ray by Lionsgate).



93 differences, consisting of

71 extended scenes

16 scenes with alternate footage

3 extended scenes in the Theatrical Version

2 recuts

1 additional scene



The Unrated Version is 350.56 seconds or approx. 5 minutes and 51 seconds longer than the Theatrical Version.


The rest of the new footage is during the climactic battle at the abandoned hotel. As previously mentioned Statham has much more to do here; whereas in the theatrical version he throws knives but you never really see any impact, we get more detail. His final fight scene is more brutal culminating in him sticking a huge knife into the back of the henchman.


Thanks alot JC. Apparently this reviewer says its an improvement over the theatrical edition. My question is have any of you seen the extended version and is the extended so much an inprovement to warrant a double dip?

Authorities allege the pair stole the film from a cloud-based system before uploading it onto the Internet. The pre-release leak of the movie was viewed hundreds of thousands of times, resulting in a significant financial loss to the companies that produced it, Lionsgate and Millennium Films. The film, featuring Sylvester Stallone, Jason Statham and Arnold Schwarzenegger, was scheduled to premiere in U.S. movie theaters Aug. 15. However, sometime around July 25 a high-quality version of the movie appeared on the Internet.


Here's why 2008's Rambo had the best iteration of Sylvester Stallone's Expendables. The image of Rambo audiences know best comes from Rambo: First Blood Part II and Rambo III. These turned the soldier into a muscle-bound, bazooka-wielding action hero capable of taking on armies single-handed. The lukewarm response to the third film, combined with action movies moving in a different direction, saw Stallone retire Rambo for the 1990s. When he finally dusted off the character's headband for 2008's sequel of the same name, the star consciously moved away from the previous sequels.


Stallone came to believe that Rambo's movie sequels glamourized war, so he wanted to make a darker war movie that also brought the character back to his depiction in the original First Blood novel. Rambo saw the titular character leading a rescue mission into Burma, and the sequel became infamous for its gory carnage and high bodycount. Despite its unflinching violence, Rambo's relentless pace and Stallone's taut direction have seen it come to be regarded as one of the best sequels.
