    /path/to/tv-media/<rating>/<tv title>/<year>/<season>/files

    This structure maintains the essence of your current organization while slightly adjusting the placement of the year within the TV show's directory. By including the year within the TV title directory, you retain the year information but align more closely with Jellyfin's expected metadata placement for TV shows.

    I take it back, @FireSale. This didn't work at all. I thought it did, but I was unfortunately wrong. It seems like having the year in the directory structure may be the thing that messes up the indexing. If this is true, this is deeply disappointing. More specifically, it seems like placing several shows in the same year is problematic:

       

    directory structure (just indexed):
    Code:

    drwxr-xr-x jellyfin jellyfin  4 B  Wed Nov 29 16:08:40 2023  'The Looming Tower'

    drwxrwxr-x jellyfin jellyfin  8 B  Wed Nov 29 21:12:14 2023  'The Newsroom'

    .rw-r--r-- jellyfin jellyfin 3.3 KB Wed Nov 29 21:14:23 2023  tvshow.nfo

    If anyone else can offer some advice, it would be deeply appreciated.
