Multiple TV Show Library Folders - mylinuxguy - 2025-02-21

So I have Jellyfin setup and running in a docker container. When I access the web side of the server I see:

my config has:

Code:
    volumes:

      - /data/jellyfin/config:/config

      - /data/jellyfin/tv:/tv

      - /data/jellyfin/movies:/movies

      - /data/jellyfin/cache:/cache

I am not 100% sure how Movies and Shows maps to /movies and /tv but that seems to be how that works.

In my 'Shows' / /tv folder I have a bunch of folders.... (83) and in the file system they show up as:

Code:
.

.

.

S.W.A.T

Ted.Lasso

TheDiplomat

The.Equalizer

The.Irrational

The.Last.Of.Us

The.Lincoln.Lawyer

The.Night.Agent

The.Recruit

The.Rookie

TheUnit

Tracker

Travelers

TulsaKing

Virdee

Virgin.River

Wild.Cards

Will.Trent

Zero.Day

and when I go to my Shows folder I see the 83 folders that I can pick from.

A lot of these... once I have watched them I want them to be less prominent.... maybe have some sort of "Archived Shows" directory and move some of the 83 folders into this "Archived Shows" top level directory. I don't want to 'delete' old stuff... but I don't necessarily want to wade through it when I am looking for new content.

Can I add a top level ( same level as Movies and Shows ) folder called "Archived Shows" and move some of the

Code:
/tv/<showname>/

folders into the 'archived shows' folder?

if so... how exactly would I do that.... in the docker-config file and in the Jellyfin config setup?

I found a docker-config.yml and fired this up.. but I am not 100% sure what I'm doing...

Thanks - jack

There is a filter in the Jellyfin UI you can apply to not show watched content. You don't need to move them to an archived folder.

Ok... so I answered my own question. I created a Collection and called it New Stuff. That shows up at the same level ( or the Collections folder does at least ) as Shows and Movies. I can 'add to collection' the folders of the newer TV Shows that I am interested in watching. Then I can go to Collection, New Stuff and have a sub-set of the Shows directory. Once something becomes less-new... or I've watched that seasons shows, I can take it out of the New Stuff collection. Think that will do what I need.

Can't you just filter based on "date added" or something else instead of manually moving folders?
