Organizing movies

[RostigerSpieler]

You can create a series folder for series. In this series folder, you put a separate folder for each series. And put the seasons of the series in this folder.

I always do it like this, for example:

Folder with series name e.g.: ‘Big Bang Theory (2007)’
In the folder ‘Big Bang Theory (2007)’ I then have the folders for the seasons, which I number with S01, S02, S03, etc.

Jellyfin recognises the name of the series, and it also recognises the season names such as S01 etc. within this folder and then retrieves the information from the databases.
The episodes of the series should preferably also be numbered consecutively for proper recognition.
For example, episode 1 of the Big Bang Theory series should be numbered as follows:

‘Big Bang Theory S01E01’

Jellyfin also recognises this.

So you can click on the series folder on your TV and then select each individual series.

And as far as films are concerned, you could also put them in folders and assign them a genre. Then you would also have order there. For example, I sort by action, scifi, horror, animation, etc.
