    Jellyfin Android Client - Just show filenames

    I've been using JellyFin for Movies and Shows and it's working great.

    I also have an eclectic collection of all sorts of video files... youTube courses, iTunes courses, Teaching company courses, old documentaries, etc...

    I have these roughly sorted into a flat folder structure, with 1 folder containing all the relevant videos. For example... "Coursera - Introduction to the Biology of Cancer" will contain video files in order named like "01. Intro", etc...

    Is there some combination of library type and library settings that I can use that will force the JellyFin client to just display the folders and when you go into a folder just show all the file names?

    I've tried "Music Videos" with "Prefer embedded titles over filenames" selected and this is pretty close. Rather than list filenames the client shows a thumbnail, but when you select it it will show the filename. Just curious if this is my best option? It would be preferrable to just list all the filenames... then I wouldn't have to move over each thumbnail and I could just take all the info in at a glance. Prefer embedded titles over Prefer embedded titles over filenames filename

    Realize JellyFin isn't really intended for content like this, but I thought I would ask. Thanks.

    The Music Videos library is pretty close.  Though I am not aware of a way to make Jellyfin show the actual file name.  You can change the video to a list by clicking on the "..." context menu at the top and change the "Image Type" to list.

    I think that is as good as you're going to get for what you want.  You'd have to change the embedded title to match the file name to get exactly what you want.

    Thanks DreadPirate. That view works great in the browser. This helps for finding my files for sure.

    I'd love it if the Android client had a similar view, but it doesn't look like it does unless I'm just missing it somehow.

    For Music Video libraries it does.
