Native Support for selecting Jellyfin's "Multiple-Versions" of a file

[zeanogit]

Possibly more of an edge case / feature request rather than a bug:

Currently when using segment editor and browsing into an item that has more than one version in the same folder / collection, the UI will pick the first option based on JF ranking (presumably). The alternate version can't be edited.

I have not tested if the defined segments would then apply to the alternative version but suspect that's not the case (which is desired since the content length presumably varies).

Jellyfin feature documentation:

https://jellyfin.org/docs/general/server/media/movies/#multiple-versions

Example:
Movies
└── Best_Movie_Ever (2019)
├── Best_Movie_Ever (2019) - [1080P].mp4
├── Best_Movie_Ever (2019) - [720P].mp4
└── Best_Movie_Ever (2019) - [Directors Cut].mp4

Only one of the 3 versions can be edited via the segment editor while the alternative versions are in the same collection as the original one.

Logically since versions like Theatrical Cuts vs Director's cuts could have their segment at different timestamps, there should be a need to allow for picking the version to edit via the segment editor UI. Albeit workarounds seem possible to achieve this.

That would be my question, since that is not something we control.
