combine 2 folders of the same name within 1 library - msiawesome - 2024-01-24

so here is what I want to do Inside of a library, I will have it access "D:\testfolder21" and "K:\testfolder22"
Inside of each "testfolder21" and "testfolder22" is a folder called "test folder 5"
In jellyfin, I want it to only display one "test folder 5" but currently it displays both. I'm on Windows is there any kind of workaround to make this work?

If this is a TV show library you can go to the library settings and enable "Automatically merge series that are spread across multiple folders", which is located near the bottom.  If this is a movie library you are out of luck.

Thanks for the reply mate
but the library folder was meant for a random assortment of videos, that I had on 2 hard drives.
just make a compromise for now where it's its own library

I recommend using something like this to pool the drives together. Jellyfin likely won’t be updated for your use-case.
