    Hello everyone!

    I've been struggling for a while now to add BDMVs and BluRays (TV Shows) to my Jellyfin collection, the reason why is that Jellyfin scans for every m2ts file and "takes for granted" that I want to see it, even though most of them are actually "trash" (ex: ads, notices, menus, etc).

    I've been googling around and I found out some code and PRs relative to BluRays and DVDs playback, I've found some people mentioning .NFO files with the name index.nfo and I have seen people mention that Jellyfin "does not play the correct playlist", but none of this makes sense to me.

    In my case it looks like Jellyfin is just looking m2ts files and is ignoring the index.bdmv file or any playlist, it just looks for video files and makes them available; it even adds an .nfo file for every m2ts file  present in the STREAM directory.

    Is this due to a configuration error, should I manually add an NFO file? (and if so, what should it look like?) Or are BDMVs not really supported aside from opening the m2ts files and therefore some more development is necessary?

    I wanted to clarify before spending more time navigating the large code base or googling for a solution that doesn't exist. I would also like to contribute to the documentation is the solution is already available.

    I'm aware that a possible solution is to convert the directories to .mkv, I would prefer to keep the original .bdmv structure.

    Thanks in advance!
