Possible to turn off grouping by folder? - baronvonj - 2024-07-24
I have some directories of animation shorts that won't match on any metadata DBs. On the file system I organize the into subdirectories by the creator. Depending on the library type (I've tried Home Videos and Music Videos) Jellyfin will group the files by folder too
However, I don't want Jellyfin to display the folder structure, I want the recursive contents to be displayed flat like if I had set the library type to Movies. I've tried changing the default Sort by folder to Sort by name but that doesn't ungroup the files.

I'm not aware of a way to ungroup them. BUT, if you were to add each sub-folder, instead of the overarching folder these videos are in, you would achieve a flat structure in the Jellyfin UI while maintaining the file/folder structure. Not ideal, might be tedious, but I'm not aware of a way to flatten the Music Videos/Home Videos libraries.

Thanks. Guess I'll post it in the feature requests forum.
