Sorry for not posting back earlier but I myself was trying to figure out how to word this.
In my OP the setup of the flow is the way that Jellyfin works. I am not talking about the directory structure which I am using according to how it should be
eg TV Shows/Ended/Hardy Bucks/Season 1/Hardy Bucks - S01E01 - The Shkyline.mp4
But this is when you set the folder in JF to have Ended TV Shows as root
This is how it works
(You select) Level 1
Ended TV Shows (you get your list of TV Shows)
(You select your Show) Level 2
|Hardy Bucks(It shows the Series list)
(Select a Series) Level 3
|Season 1 (It shows list of Episodes)
(you select your Episode) Level 4
|Hardy Bucks - S01E01 - The Shkyline.mp4 (It shows details of the episode)
(you play the episode) Level 5
|Hardy Bucks - S01E01 - The Shkyline.mp4(Episode Plays)
|Hardy Bucks - S01E02 - Zambezi Nites
Hardy Bucks - S01E02 - Zambezi Nites.mp4
|Porridge (1974)
|Season 1
|Porridge - S01E01 - New Faces, Old Hands
|Porridge - S01E01 - New Faces, Old Hands.mkv
|Porridge - S01E02 - The Hustler
|Porridge - S01E02 - The Hustler.mkv
The RED write up is action you take
The Green write up is the progression of jellyfin
The Yellow is the frontend view levels
so as you can see the even if the folder structure is setup as
Ended/Shows/Season/test.mkv
which is 4 levels, jellyfin structure takes it to 5 levels at the frontend.
This is where my initial question comes from
Since there is already a level 5 on the frontend to show the whole plot
Level 4 should have something to show plot summery or something like that.
I hope this clears up my intention, because when it comes to Sports data the <plot> field in the nfo is huge so the when you select Series and it shows the Episode list, 1 episodes plot can takes up the whole page before you even see the episode name. thats where I am looking to minimize it with something like if more then 300 characters hide the rest or have a button to say ...Show more.
