    so here is what I want to do Inside of a library, I will have it access "D:\testfolder21" and "K:\testfolder22"
    Inside of each "testfolder21" and "testfolder22" is a folder called "test folder 5"
    In jellyfin, I want it to only display one "test folder 5" but currently it displays both. I'm on Windows is there any kind of workaround to make this work?

    If this is a TV show library you can go to the library settings and enable "Automatically merge series that are spread across multiple folders", which is located near the bottom.  If this is a movie library you are out of luck.

    Thanks for the reply mate
    but the library folder was meant for a random assortment of videos, that I had on 2 hard drives.
    just make a compromise for now where it's its own library

    I recommend using something like this to pool the drives together. Jellyfin likely won’t be updated for your use-case.
