    I have some Live/Concerts and I'm trying to add them to my Jellyfin server. The server is in docker format, and it has r/w access to the folder where the media is stored. The file structure is something like this:

    Lives/
    - Group1/
    - Group2/
    -- [date] Live-name01/
    --- live-concert.mkv
    --- Bonus/
    ---- backstage-day1.mkv
    ---- backstage-day2.mkv
    -- [date] Live-name02/
    --- day1-disc1.mkv
    --- day1-disc2.mkv
    --- day2-disc1.mkv
    --- day2-disc2.mkv
    --- Bonus/
    ---- backstage-day1.mkv
    ---- backstage-day2.mkv

    My main problem is that if I use "Movie", the library is a mix from almost every file in every folder. "Music-Video" has worked fine for many other "Groups" (Yes, I have a library for each Group).

    But here it is where my problem starts. For example, the "Bonus" folder works for some, showing it like a folder inside the parent folder ([date] live-name/), and for others it doesn't appear.

    I have also notice that if there only one file (live.mkv) with a Bonus folder (both inside the parent folder). The video file is presented alone on the Jellyfin Library, like it was the only video file. Bonus folder and its content even have some .nfo files created, but it doesn't appear on library.

    The media is a mix from single videos, two-day live videos, and others with extras (backstage, menu, specials, etc). Sometimes I even store the webrip file, even if I already have a BDRip, and include it in a webrip/ folder. In some cases, I can access this folder from the parent folder, but not on every other folder where it does exist.

    I have not touched any filename, as I usually edit everything through the metadata on the Jellyfin server.

    Is my approach correct? Are there some folder names that are automatically excluded when scanning the library?

    Do you have any experience with this kind of media? Please, share any advice you can give me.

    Thank you.

    Hey @laglink

    1. In accordance with the rules, https://forum.jellyfin.org/t-jellyfin-forum-rules please omit all references from where you got your videos.
    2. I moved your Question into Support -> Troubleshooting -> Media Scanning & Identification
    3. I do not use "Music-Video" type myself but "Movie" and when with this type there comes a specific naming structure you have to follow to allow JF to discover your media as described here: https://jellyfin.org/docs/general/server/media/movies
    Your examples do not look like they meet those requirements.
    typos are finders, keepers.

    Sorry, I've edited the original post.

    I'll try to rename all files and create the library again, as Movie.

    Update.

    I renamed all files and folders to the format:

    [date] live-name/
    - day1.mkv
    - day2.mkv
    - extras/
    -- video1.mkv
    -- video2.mkv

    and so on.

    The Library is still set as Music Videos. So far, I have a little menu showing "Special Features", with the contents from the "extras" folder. But this is only showed on lives with a single file. For any other day1-day2, only these video appears but no extra content is added.

    Still looking for best option to add all.

    I did try to create the Library as "Movie", but the result is way worse. Just the main videos are showed (day1, day2) as separate show, but none has extras content. Not an option, at least for now.
