Hi,
I have had a Plex server for a few years on a windows pc using 4 external disks. On the movies folder on one of disks I have many different categories listed. Plex picks them up and displays them without a problem.
I want to transfer all to Jellyfin. To this end I have created a test bed on another pc to check out how I can transfer files from my plex server to Jellyfin. I have no problem with my Shows files but I have a problem with my Movies folder on Jellyfin. I created a movies folder and copied to this two of my categories from plex. Jellyfin does not show these categories, it just shows all the files from both categories all together, not separate follders.
I am sure that I have missed something obvious but I cannot think what. I really want to switch from plex as I like how jellyfin does things. Can anyone point me where I went wrong but I really do want this as my media server. Many thanks
