    If you have TBs organized like that, your reorg path will be long and tedious if you want to use Jellyfin.
    You SHOULD have root folders for each of you libraries, and in each of them should contain one subfolder per movie/docu/series. It really can't work another way.

    I would suggest you to get tools to help you with that, to begin with Radarr and Sonarr that will do a great a job in reorganizing things for you and to rename the folders the way they should. I highly recommend that you configure Radarr and Sonarr so they add in each folder's name the imdb/tvdb/tmdb IDs so you are certain that all media centers will properly find what it is and download the right metadata for them.Proper folder naming is the most important and there are a lot of tutorials to help you with that.

    In order to not break your current organization if things goes wrong, Ideally you should copy everything on a new disk, and then Plug Radarr/Sonarr to start the reorg. Just begin with one subfolder to test and then when you have understood how they work, and tweaked the config, scan/reorg your entire library.

    This will be long. But at the end you will hopefully be very happy with the results !
