I want to add a "show" to my Shows library that's just called interviews. The directory name for the show is also just "interviews". So if "shows" is my library folder, I have stuff like "shows/interviews/s1e1-foobar.mp4". This doesn't seem to work, jellyfin never adds the show, I'm guessing because "interviews" is one of the "extras" dir names described here: https://jellyfin.org/docs/general/server...as-folders
Seemingly the extras dirs are supposed to be within a show dir or season dir instead of at the top-level, but I'm assuming my "interviews" dir is still being ignored as a show and instead treated as an extra.
I could just change the directory name to eg "my-interviews" which does work, but actually I'm creating some shows in an automated way, mapping dir names from a db, and the title in my other db is just "interviews". So before making a special case for renaming, just wondering if there's some way to force a dir to be treated as a show. Like a ".noignore" file or something. I do add a tvshow.nfo by the way, and nfo files for episodes.
