    How to structure folder for Anthology, (similar to collection of web shorts)?

    I have a Movies Library, and I am trying to setup an Anthology(web short collection) in the library.
    If I setup the files as separate versions of "the movie" it works OK, but I don't like it.
    Each short has its own separate name/actor. I don't want to classify it as a TV show.
    I don't like it as versions, but versions work.
    Setting it up as CD1, CD2, CD3, etc. works, but i don't like that either.
    I've tried using folders such as "scenes" & "shorts",
    but Jellyfin wont recognize those without a "movie" in the root directory.

    Any suggestions for this niche issue?

    Have you tried creating a Collection?

    Ubuntu 22.04.3 LTS w/HWE Kernel (bare metal)
    Intel i3 12100
    32GB DDR4 (24GB ram disk for transcodes)
    OS drive - Intel X25-M G2 160GB
    Storage 1 - WD Green 3TB (samba shares)
    Storage 2 - WD Red 3TB CMR (JF Library)
    Storage 3 - WD Red Pro 6TB CMR (JF Library, samba share backup, WIP media)

    As I understand Collections,
    Collections appear alongside all my other Libraries?
    ex. Movies, Shows, Music, HALLOWEEN, CHRISTMAS, etc.
    I only have one anthology.
    My goal is to keep Anthology to appear in the movies library.
    (I would also like to avoid, stitching all the shorts together,
    and re-uploading as a single video file.)

    AFAIK, what you are describing does not currently exist in Jellyfin. Yes, Collections would appear on the home screen alongside other libraries, but I think that is the closest you are going to get to what you want.

    I haven't done it, but there is a setting in Libraries->Display:

    Group movies into collections
    Movies in a collection will be displayed as one grouped item when displaying movie lists.
