Emby and Plex also have some organizational requirements, though I know they are somewhat less strict.Beautifulideas.inThe reason for the strictness has to do with special functions like handling "extras" differently than episodes, merge "versions" of a movie as one listing. How does the scanner determine where arbitrary organization ends and where the movies/shows actually begin? How does it differentiate between episodes/movies and the extras? How does it know which files in a multi-version movie setup to "merge"?
By adhering to a set of rules.
There are tools that you can use to mass re-organize your media in a Jellyfin friendly way. Tiny Media Manager is our go-to.
If bitstream were to use their script to generate .nfo files for the episodes (containing the correct season/episode numbers) and placed them next to the files, would Jellyfin prioritize the NFO data over the folder structure?
Or does the scanner logic require the Season XX folder to exist before it even attempts to parse the NFOs?
