    Your movies may work, but tv shows will certainly need to be nested in folders named "season ##" and each episode will also need to have "s##e##".

    You will also need to figure out how to mount each folder as Jellyfin explicitly expects the very first folder to be a show folder with the next subfolders being its seasons. Likewise for movies minus the season folders.

    You also can't mix and match tv shows and movies. Metadata detection is based on the library type the file is stored in.

    Also, if you plan on running Jellyfin over the same media files as Plex at the same time, make sure to disable Jellyfin's ability to store or modify metadata on the media file locations as Jellyfin uses a different structure of files for metadata.
