When ripping my DVDs, I simply have folders per DVD.
That works with movies, but Jellyfin has lots of problems with shows.
Yes, that could be changed by completely reordering and renaming all files, but I really don't want to do this!
I want a folder per DVD, exactly like I ripped them - and ideally, without renaming anything.
But it seems Jellyfin forces me to reorganize everything, as it otherwise messes up the right sequence, when episodes are distributed over several sub-folders.
Just wanted to drop this feedback.
No reply needed.
But it's frustrating.
In general, Jellyfin forces lots of things and is not very flexible.
But yes, I know the recommendations for naming shows!
One example:
Jellyfin cannot work with this, even as Seasons and Tracks are clear, but the folders-per-disk mess up the sequence.
