    So I have Jellyfin setup and running in a docker container.  When I access the web side of the server I see: 

       

    my config has: 

    Code:
        volumes:
          - /data/jellyfin/config:/config
          - /data/jellyfin/tv:/tv
          - /data/jellyfin/movies:/movies
          - /data/jellyfin/cache:/cache

    I am not 100% sure how Movies and Shows maps to /movies and /tv but that seems to be how that works. 

    In my 'Shows' / /tv folder I have a bunch of folders.... (83) and in the file system they show up as: 
    Code:
    .
    .
    .
    S.W.A.T
    Ted.Lasso
    TheDiplomat
    The.Equalizer
    The.Irrational
    The.Last.Of.Us
    The.Lincoln.Lawyer
    The.Night.Agent
    The.Recruit
    The.Rookie
    TheUnit
    Tracker
    Travelers
    TulsaKing
    Virdee
    Virgin.River
    Wild.Cards
    Will.Trent
    Zero.Day

    and when I go to my Shows folder I see the 83 folders that I can pick from. 

     A lot of these... once I have watched them I want them to be less prominent.... maybe have some sort of "Archived Shows" directory and move some of the 83 folders into this "Archived Shows" top level directory.  I don't want to 'delete' old stuff... but I don't necessarily want to wade through it when I am looking for new content. 

    Can I add a top level ( same level as Movies and Shows ) folder called "Archived Shows" and move some of the
    Code:
    /tv/<showname>/
    folders into the 'archived shows' folder? 

    if so... how exactly would I do that.... in the docker-config file and in the Jellyfin config setup? 

    I found a docker-config.yml and fired this up.. but  I am not 100% sure what I'm doing... 

    Thanks - jack

    There is a filter in the Jellyfin UI you can apply to not show watched content. You don't need to move them to an archived folder.
    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

    Ok... so I answered my own question. I created a Collection and called it New Stuff. That shows up at the same level ( or the Collections folder does at least ) as Shows and Movies. I can 'add to collection' the folders of the newer TV Shows that I am interested in watching. Then I can go to Collection, New Stuff and have a sub-set of the Shows directory. Once something becomes less-new... or I've watched that seasons shows, I can take it out of the New Stuff collection. Think that will do what I need.

    Can't you just filter based on "date added" or something else instead of manually moving folders?
