    No matter the folder structure, jellyfin ignores it.

    I've been trying to get Jellyfin to display show folders inside the main library, I have the structure like this, as I've been following the HowTo on the subject, this is a Linux server running Jellyfin inside a docker container, with external folder mapping.

    Show structure:

    /home/<user>/jellyfin/shows
    /home/<user>/jellyfin/shows/<show name>
    /home/<user>/jellyfin/shows/<show name>/season 01

    Then Season 02, 03, 04.

    Then inside each season folder are the actual videos using this format:  <show name> S##E##.mkv

    And when I create a new library and click the + to add the folder location I only choose the show name, which then reveals each series, but when I click OK, then wait until the library has been scanned, I then click the home button, and then navigate to the newly created library, then click on it, all I see is the show name repeated under each season, instead of the season names and numbers, I then have to manually edit the metadata to show "Season 1..2..3..4..5" etc etc.

    It seems that Jellyfin ignores any form of structure for shows, no matter if it's <season 1>, or <season 01>

    Such as this screenshot shows just the title name and no seasons.
