    I have been having an issue with setting up metadata for sports so been using an kodi type nfo format which works great but having a small issue now and not sure how to go about it.
    I have my sports section setup as tv shows in the same format as 
    Shows
        |Seasons
              |season 2025
                    |Show A
                        |show A.mkv
                     |Show B
                         show B.mkv
              Season 2024
                    |Show A
                        |Show A.mkv
                     |Show B
                         Show B.mkv

    The issue I am having is that the plot is showing up in the Show A/B level and most of it is long and it fills up the screen. I want it to show up only in the show A.mkv level but dont know what tags to use to do that .
    Tried  <outline><biography><review><description> nothing seems to work it has to be something simple but I am not seeing it.
    Any help would be great.
    I am using this type of format for the nfo files
    Code:
    <episodedetails>
    <title>Australian Grand Prix</title>
    <showtitle>Formula 1</showtitle>
    <season>2025</season>
    <episode>1</episode>
    <aired>2025-03-16</aired>
    <premiered>2025-03-16</premiered>

    <plot>The 2025 Australian Grand Prix (officially known as the Formula 1 Louis Vuitton Australian Grand Prix 2025) was a Formula One motor race that was held on 16 March 2025 at the Albert Park Circuit in Melbourne, Victoria. It was the first round of the 2025 Formula One World Championship.</plot>
    <biography>Description: The 2025 Australian Grand Prix (officially known as the Formula 1 Louis Vuitton Australian Grand Prix 2025) was a Formula One motor race that was held on 16 March 2025 at the Albert Park Circuit in Melbourne, Victoria. It was the first round of the 2025 Formula One World Championship.

    Lando Norris in the McLaren won the race from pole position, ahead of Max Verstappen in the Red Bull Racing and George Russell in the Mercedes. Norris' victory marked McLaren's first at Melbourne since 2012. Debutants Isack Hadjar in the Racing Bulls and Gabriel Bortoleto in the Sauber both retired due to accidents, the former on the formation lap, and Andrea Kimi Antonelli in the Mercedes finished fourth.</biography>

    I'm assuming you added that first "Shows" folder as the library root. In which case, this structure is not supported. You would have to add the "Seasons" folder as the library root.

    If you are using NFOs for metadata, give the Music Videos library a try since it is a glorified folder view. This would allow you to keep "Shows" as the library root.

    Sorry for not posting back earlier but I myself was trying to figure out how to word this.
    In my OP the setup of the flow is the way that Jellyfin works. I am not talking about the directory structure which I am using according to how it should be
    eg TV Shows/Ended/Hardy Bucks/Season 1/Hardy Bucks - S01E01 - The Shkyline.mp4
    But this is when you set the folder in JF to have Ended TV Shows as root
    This is how it works
    (You select) Level 1
    Ended TV Shows (you get your list of TV Shows)
    (You select your Show) Level 2
        |Hardy Bucks(It shows the Series list)
    (Select a Series) Level 3
              |Season 1 (It shows list of Episodes)
    (you select your Episode) Level 4
                    |Hardy Bucks - S01E01 - The Shkyline.mp4 (It shows details of the episode)
    (you play the episode) Level 5
                        |Hardy Bucks - S01E01 - The Shkyline.mp4(Episode Plays)

                    |Hardy Bucks - S01E02 - Zambezi Nites
                        Hardy Bucks - S01E02 - Zambezi Nites.mp4
        |Porridge (1974)     
              |Season 1
                    |Porridge - S01E01 - New Faces, Old Hands
                        |Porridge - S01E01 - New Faces, Old Hands.mkv
                    |Porridge - S01E02 - The Hustler
                        |Porridge - S01E02 - The Hustler.mkv

    The RED write up is action you take 
    The Green  write up is the progression of jellyfin
    The Yellow is the frontend view levels
    so as you can see the even if the folder structure is setup as 
    Ended/Shows/Season/test.mkv 
    which is 4 levels, jellyfin structure takes it to 5 levels at the frontend.
    This is where my initial question comes from
    Since there is already a level 5 on the frontend to show the whole plot 
    Level 4 should have something to show plot summery or something like that.
    I hope this clears up my intention, because when it comes to Sports data the <plot> field in the nfo is huge so the when you select Series and it shows the Episode list, 1 episodes plot can takes up the whole page before you even see the episode name. thats where I am looking to minimize it with something like if more then 300 characters hide the rest or have a button to say ...Show more.
