How can I get individual videos to display separately? - macromark - 2024-01-04

I have several folders of home movie clips that all have the same name prefix (per folder). I would like them to all display separately with their own thumbnails. However, Jellyfin displays them all as a single video with multiple "versions". Is there a way to fix this without renaming all the files?

What library type are your home movies in?

I tried Movies initially, then switched to Photos as JF kept trying to associate movie metadata with the videos. I've also tried Music Videos. Nothing works the way I expected it would.... as with Plex.

Note that my actual Photos sort and display "correctly"... that is... the way I expect honoring the folders they are in. I assume that's because none of them follow the same naming convention. Each photo has a unique name.

My assumption is that if I rename my videos, they will then appear as i want them to but... there are hundreds of these, so I really don't want to rename them.
