Help Organizing Youtube videos - GrumpyGorilla - 2025-10-12
I currently Organize my youtube videos using the TV Library structure. I have various folders for Documentaries, 3d Animation, or content by a certain creator, which get treated as separate shows.
The problem arises when I want to filter the content inside of these folders. Below is an example of my current structure.
TV Library(Youtube Content)
│
Show (Documentaries)
│
├── World Documentaries
│ ├── Industrial Works - Factory Genre
│ ├── Wonderful Sea World - Nature Genre
│ └── Natures Scariest Bugs - Nature Genre
│
│
├── Space Documentaries
│ ├── Distant Planets - Planet Genre
│ ├── Dwarf Stars - Star Genre
│ └── Our Sun - Star Genre
└──
This isn't inherently bad, but if my episode list has 100 documentaries, each with their own genre, I want the ability to filter the content so that I'm not scrolling down a list of 100 episodes.
If I'm in the mood for a space documentary, and only want to browse episodes under the Space Subfolder that have "planet" as their genre in their metadata, there doesn't seem to be a way to do this currently.
Do I need to use another folder structure to achieve this?
