    Hello!

    I am about to install a Jellyfin server on my LAN. In parallel, I am also about to restructure my folders of Movies, TV Shows and a personnal "Home Videos" which I built using a Kodi logic (Home Videos have local nfo files, with folder like Season 2016, etc.). The movies and TV Shows are either in english or in french (either dubbed english shows or native french shows).

    My question is how should I reorganize them so that it works with less pain with Jellyfin. I'd like to get a confirmation from knowledgeable persons or suggestions before I proceeed. 

    Thanks!

    ---

    My idea was to organize as follow:

    Shows and Movies would have the same logic.

    Shows (EN)
    └── Show 1
        ├── Season 01
        │  └── S01E01.mkv
        └── Season 02
            └── S02E01.mkv
    └── Show 2
        ├── Season 01
        │  └── S01E01.mkv
        └── Season 02
            └── S02E01.mkv

    Shows (FR)
    └── Show 1
        ├── Season 01
        │  └── S01E01.mkv
        └── Season 02
            └── S02E01.mkv
    └── Show 2
        ├── Season 01
        │  └── S01E01.mkv
        └── Season 02
            └── S02E01.mkv



    Home Videos
    └── Home Videos
        ├── Season 01
        │  └── S01E01.mkv
        └── Season 02
            └── S02E01.mkv
            └── S02E01.mkv

    Now, I guess I simply have to add all of the following root drectories with the proper (and different) Jellyfin options :

    Movies (FR) -> Add as a single library and set language to FR
    Movies (EN) ->  Add as a single library and set language to EN
    Shows (FR) ->  Add as a single library and set language to FR
    Shows (EN) ->  Add as a single library and set language to EN

    Home Videos -> Is there an option to only check for local nfo files? I haven't installed the Jellyfin server yet (anyway, this folder won't be reorganized in the short term unless this structure is incompatible with Jellyfin logic).
