BTS, Extras, Other Folders Not Loading - jravin - 2025-06-01
Hello World!
First post, hence the above.
I am having an issue with a R&M series. It is not loading the behind the scenes, extras, or other folders/directories. The following is my directory structure, within SHOWS:
rick-and-morty
└------ season-3-2017
├------ behind-the-scenes
│ ├------ RAM_S3-behind-the-scenes-peek-behindthescenes.mp4
│ └------ et-cetera.mp4
├------ extras
│ ├------ RAM_S3-ep-01-the-rickshank-rickdemption-extra.mp4
│ └------ et-cetera.mp4
├------ other
│ ├------ RAM_S3-full-ep-01-10-high-res-other.mp4
│ └------ et-cetera.mp4
├------ RAM_S3-ep-01-the-rickshank-rickdemption.mp4
└------ et-cetera.mp4
When I am in user-land side the only thing that shows up is "RAM_S3-ep-01-the-rickshank-rickdemption.mp4" and the following episodes, but there is no reference to the Behind the Scenes, Extras, and Other videos.
What might I do/try to remedy this?
Thank you in advance.

I would say it's likely due to the fact that your naming scheme is all over the place at the moment. Jellyfin's parser uses folder names ("Series Name (YEAR)") and filenames as clues. Your folder is
rick-and-morty while your episode names don't even match that nomenclature.Pick a small segment (maybe one season) and rename to match the spec. Files, folders, all of it. If that resolves the issue, you've found the culprit. Then you can decide what you want to do next. There are tools that can help.

Thank you for giving me a soft RTFM.
Using the guidance from https://jellyfin.org/docs/general/server/media/shows/ I renamed directories and files to the following, and now all of the media files are showing up in jellyfin.
./rick-and-morty imdbid-tt2861424/

I wanted to avoid using spaces wherever possible, as this server is running on a linux console and as I copy and move and modify files spaces in names are sometimes a hassle.
The metadata was not pulled from anywhere, so I did have to manually clean up a few fields for each file, but there is a rhythm to it which allows for the pace to go faster.
When I posted the above tree output I did see there are five files which break the naming convention, which I will rename once I post this.
Again, thank you.

Actually, it is in line with the above guidance.
