Scanning subfolders

[TheDreadPirate]

I've never used the Synology Video and Audio Station apps, but I'm assuming they were less rigid about organization.

It isn't that Jellyfin can't "find" them. Jellyfin retrieves metadata from TMDB, TVDB, and other sites, to enrich your content, provide images and descriptions. And to aid in that process you are supposed to organize and name your files and folders in such a way that Jellyfin can parse the names. If you don't organize and name your files in a compliant way, Jellyfin won't be able to figure out what movie a file is. And will just ignore it.

Jellyfin also has features, like "extras", that requires additional organization.

To make all that work, Jellyfin requires strict adherence to our documented folder structure.
