If you want to simply use something like a "folder view" where everything is organized according to the folder structure in the file system, that doesn't presently exist. There are some existing feature requests for it, but it's just not implemented right now.
If, instead, you just want to organize things a little differently, it sounds to me like a TV library might work for this. You could have each channel as a "show" and then either structure the underlying media as "seasons" based on year or just use something like an absolute episode order. Then you'd be able to browse the library by show. You might need to use custom NFO files to make sure that the metadata is collated correctly, or look for a plugin that can retrieve metadata for YouTube, if one exists.
Because the auto metadata flange gets so much wrong, and I don't want to spend time and effort on fixing it all, I just want to see the directory structure I have that's already organized.
It blows me away that it's not a duh obvious of course we're including that feature.
There are so many valid and useful reasons to have the *option* of one, the other, *both.*
Literally, I just switched to Emby today only because it allows this.
