    Is there a way to get Jellyfin to recognize the folder structure found below?

    Shows
    └── Series Name (1962)
        ├── Volume 1
        │  ├── Disc 1
        │     └── Episode 1 - Awesome Episode Time.mkv
        │     └── Episode 2  - Almost as Awesome Episode.mp4
        │  ├── Disc 2
        │     └── Episode 1 - Something good.mkv
        │     └── Episode 2 - Something Nearly as good.mp4
        ├── Volume 2
        │  ├── Disc 1
        │     └── Episode 1 - Another one.mkv
        │     └── Episode 2  - More Another.mp4
        │  ├── Disc 2
        │     └── Episode 1 - Yet another.mkv
        │     └── Episode 2 - Moreso the fact of Another.mp4

    I've already renamed all the Episodes within my disc folders to just show up in order amongst themselves under the Main Volume number by adding the disc number and title of disc to the beginning of every file.  Otherwise, Jellyfin would scan all disc directories and show 4 versions of every episode number right next to each other because it didn't separate them by disc number.  So for example, you had to go through 4 episode 1's in order to reach episode 2 (another set of 4).  It might be fine that way, but I was also thinking it might be fun to have the actual disc images shown for collections that use volume, disc organization, that isn't a traditional season type organization.

    That is not a supported structure. Primarily because the metadata providers that jellyfin uses does not list shows in this manner.

    https://jellyfin.org/docs/general/server/media/shows/

    Shows > Series > Season # > s##e## - episode name.mkv
    Jellyfin 10.10.7 (Docker)
    Ubuntu 24.04.2 LTS w/HWE
    Intel i3 12100
    Intel Arc A380
    OS drive - SK Hynix P41 1TB
    Storage
        4x WD Red Pro 6TB CMR in RAIDZ1

    yeah I noticed that I had to just copy and paste my own metadata for this series from wikipedia, because the imdb listings weren't that great anyways. The volumes of the collection pick out episodes from the entire airing time period (more than 50 years worth) for the themed dics, so it wouldn't make sense to categorize it as seasons of the show. I worked around it using my naming solution, but was just curious if there was something I might have overlooked in the settings.
