    Hi. New Jellyfin user here, moving to fully self-hosted infrastructure. I've read the docs at https://jellyfin.org/docs/general/server/media/shows/ and https://jellyfin.org/docs/general/server/media/movies/

    These recommended folder structures are not particularly handy for organization of media. I have mixed shows and movies in varying depth structures, as an example:


    Code:
    Movies
    ├── MCU
    │        ├── Black Widow (2021)
    │        │      └── Black Widow(2021).mkv
    │        ├── Doctor Strange (2016)
    │        │      └── Doctor Strange (2016).mkv
    │        └── Loki (2021)
    │                 ├── S01
    │                 │       ├── S01E01 Glorious Purpose.mkv
    │                 │       └── S01E02 The Variant.mkv
    │                 └── S02
    │                          ├── S02E01 Ouroboros.mkv
    │                          └── S01E02 Breaking Bad.mkv
    ├── Moulin Rouge (2001)
    │      └── Moulin Rouge (2001).mkv
    ├── Mr. Holmes (2015)
    │      └── Mr. Holmes (2015) .mkv
    └── Ocean's
             ├── 01 Ocean's Eleven (2001)
             │      └── Ocean's Eleven (2001).mkv
             └── 02 Ocean's Twelve (2004)
                     └── Ocean's Twelve (2004).mkv

    With different groups of media, such as Disney's cartoon shows, series of full features, single full features, with and without extras, the depth can vary quite a lot.

    I was looking for plugins or modules that can allow me to define my own folder mapping rules, and couldn't find anything decisive. Does anyone have solutions for organized filing structures?
