Associate extras and/or alternative versions to a movie/TV show title

I have this working in my build but I have one UI problem. The way I have it set up is that special features associated with a movie or tv episode are accessible from a button on the video info dialog. That brings up a context menu that lists all of the special features. However, with the confluence skin this context box appears at the bottom of the screen instead of center screen as you would expect. Is there any easy way to center this on the screen, or is there a better option with than the context menu for displaying these items? You can also associate an extra with a tv show season and then it just shows up at the end of the episode list for that season so there are no issues there.

I would like to +1 this also

And brentosmith, this is for TV shows not Movies.

Check the thread title.

The UI makes a big difference when you have a lot of extras. I appreciate that functionality should take priority, but it's something to bear in mind. The workaround that I created isn't perfect and takes a lot of legwork, but it's easy to navigate and intuitive to use. I encourage anyone with coding skills to come up with a new integrated solution, I know there a a lot of people who would appreciate it

That's not actually a way to associate extras with a movie, it's a way to tag common things just like genre. Extras are something quite different - they're things you don't want to display as movies but do want associated with the movie. Extending trailers is the way to go in that regard.

I just wanted to chime in that I am also interested in adding this functionality and have started to think of ways to implement this. Here are some of my thoughts so far:

As far as the UI goes, I like the idea of adding a "Movie Extras" button on the information page that would present a sub menu of movie extras.
The movie extras would need to be indexed in some fashion, either an extension of the existing movie database or an entirely new database altogether (movie extras db?).
As far as I know there isn't a movie extras scraper right now nor is there a good open database of movie extras that could be scraped.
Because of this, the extras themselves would most likely have to be scraped by hand (NFO files).

+1 to this thread and I agree with the above bolded.

I asked the same features in this thread http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=139715 in reply show me a ticket for something like this http://trac.xbmc.org/ticket/12782 but now the ticket is closed as obsolete. i don't know if they think to implement this feature

We're moving more things away from the trac system, including feature requests, which is why it was closed. As in, all existing feature requests on trac got closed regardless of their status or importance.
