The few posts before yours deal with the same known issue. Read back and read here... https://github.com/tamland/kodi-addon-extras/issues/3

• "E" icon (or any identifiable icon) to display on media with Extras.
  
• Option to display the extras menu when the media is completed.
  
• Advance settings XML update button to stop extras media from being scanned to the library.
  
• Compatibility of the above with popular skins like Aeon Nox Silvo.

Here is fine for now, but the developer of this addon has not been active for a couple of years. Even though the addon still works it is basically unmaintained.

Please do not direct me to special features, I am not a fan of the way it needs to constantly build a database and it does not contain an icon either and needs special modification to work with different skins. From my tests it is an extra menu when you click into a media, the above way is much more desirable and streamlined.

1. Adding any kind of icon to the movie listings would be dependent on skin authors adding the support for it. I'm not sure we'd get much interest in such a niche request, but if I get enough skin authors who express interest, I can look into it.
   
2. If I understand correctly, you want to watch the whole movie and then (with the correct option enabled) have the extras movie popup automatically.  This would require substantial work, as I'd have to add a service component that would watch when a movie is started and then also when it ends (and probably when people stop it before the credits are over).  No promises, but I'll look into it.
   
3. Rewriting the advancedsettings.xml would have to be done brute force and require a Kodi restart. The likelihood that the script could properly add the needed options to the literally infinite potential advancedsettings.xml files without damaging the file is somewhere between slim and none.  Given that, unfortunately people who want to use this addon are going to have to do that manually.
   
4. The answer to this is probably the same as #1.

Since I've done some work on the addon now, I thought I'd respond to these.
