    If I have a collection of videos, for example TED Talks - these are not a Movie or a TV show...
    How can I organise this type of media in Jellyfin - there doesn't seem to be any other kind of video category?

    TED Talks is one example, but I don't just need a solution specific to TED Talks - there are potentially many other kinds of videos that are not Movies or TV.

    Are there any helpful Plugins for this that people can recommend?
    Or do I just have to bodge it by sticking them under the category of Shows?

    I would try the music video library type as that would most closely follow a folder-type view.

    You can try this plugin. But it requires some additional work to automatically pull down metadata. Assuming it still works.

    You could use any library you want as long as you bring in metadata via NFOs.

    I second the use of the music library.

    Specifically for TED Talks, you should be able to add it as a TV show using the TVDB plugin.

    I use a tool with a lot of ability for total automation and an overarching TV shows library. You can still use folder-ish views, but metadata is grabbed when the media is acquired. You have the flexibility to categorize however you'd like, though the standard for that tool is channel/uploader as series name, year as season (e.g., Season 2024), and uploaded date as episode. Even with things that aren't shows, it works quite well -- it is dependent upon your naming scheme, however.
