Media Folders on Sony TV - Jelly_KS - 2025-09-08

Simple setup: running Jellyfin on PC/host with a Sony XBR TV as a client for the purpose of playing my music media on TV's soundbar setup. Everything is working well and I was surprised at ease of setup!

My question is that when I open Jellyfin app on TV, I can see my top level category (called Music). When I open this, I was hoping to see a folder structure of my music directory which consists of many, many folders like Fleetwood Mac; The Beatles; U2, etc. Under each of these folders are the album names and under those folders are the songs.

In the TV app, I can filter for Artist, Album, Genre, etc. but there is no way to filter for my configured folder structure. I have set the flag in the PC app (in dashboard>library settings) to allow the folder structure to be displayed and this looks correct on the PC/host side but not on the TV/client side. I haven't found any other settings on the TV side to help clean up this view so I see are the underlying folders (like I do on PC side).

Is there some other setting for this?

Thanks!

UPDATE: In summary, when looking at Jellyfin on PC/host, I can see a "folders" poster and under it is a nicely arranged structure of all my ,usic. On the TV/client, no such folders option is available. Only filters like artist, album, genre, etc. Trying to get the same folders view on TV.
