Special features not listed for some movies

[MelanX]

Describe the bug

1. Open Swiftfin
2. Click on a movie with special features
3. See that sometimes they were loaded, sometimes they didn't

Here's a log from where I made the screenshots. I restarted the server, then made screenshots in web browser for all 4 example movies. Then I did the same in the same order on Swiftfin.

1. Die Tribute von Panem - The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes
2. Insidious Chapter 3
3. A Nighmare on Elm Street
4. Nightmare on Elm Street 3

Just to add to this:

Changing 'shorts' to 'extras' resolves this. If I put some in 'shorts' and some in 'extras', I get nothing. The existence of the 'shorts' folder stops all results and I get this:

Error fetching special features: dataCorrupted(Swift.DecodingError.Context(codingPath: [_CodingKey(stringValue: "Index 1", intValue: 1), StringCodingKey(stringValue: "ExtraType", intValue: nil)], debugDescription: "Cannot initialize SpecialFeatureType from invalid String value Short", underlyingError: nil))

I think, from the error, this is just we need to make sure we're accounting for all extras "types" found here:

https://jellyfin.org/docs/general/server/media/movies/#extras-folders

• behind the scenes
• deleted scenes
• interviews
• scenes
• samples
• shorts
• featurettes
• clips
• other
• extras
• trailers

I only tested with shorts and extras, but I would guess that other types are impacted as well.

To clarify this, the existence of any special features in a folder called 'shorts' means that no special features will show up even if they are in a supported folder name.

I'm pretty green on the SDK generation side of Swiftfin, but I think that's where this originates from?

The extras for movies and tv shows don't appear on my tvOS client, though I'm not sure if they were fully implemented yet unlike the iOS client.

I can confirm that the current build of tvOS has Extras/Special Features:

Simulator.Screen.Recording.-.Apple.TV.4K.3rd.generation.-.2025-01-08.at.16.39.41.mp4

I can't confirm if it's on the current App Store version (1.0.1) but if it's not, it will be included when this is ready:

#1294.

Please note, this the bug for this issue also impacts tvOS so it may be that only Extras in a folder named "Extras" will be visible. As I mentioned, I don't have the App Store version (1.0.1) installed so I can't confirm if Extras/Special Features are present there.

I currently have the App Store version (1.0.1) and it does not show video clips in folders titled "extras" that the web client can. Though thanks for showing me a beta preview of it working!
