    SOLVED: Metadata reading not using root path?

    Metadata for shows is sometimes using a Season subfolder instead of the root

    Adding each show as a root is not supported. Jellyfin does not take into account the root folder's name when constructing the query for metadata.

    For what you are trying to achieve, using symlinks for each show folder would work. Jellyfin will follow symlinks for folders but not for files.
