    First post! Probably wrong place. Please move it 
    Probably a N00B question. I'm just starting having used Kodi for years and a NAS layout as 
    \media\movies with subdirs for years e.g .1940s 1950s .. 2020s
    \media\tv\USA   show names in sub folders
    911
    Cannon
    etc

    \media\TV\GB    show names in sub folders  
    0downloaded 
    0owned (e.g. dvd rips)

    Do I need to put everything in a sub folder GB?


    \media\TV\retro  show names in sub folders
    \media\YT          show names in sub folders

    I could have the same view on each folder - grid, list or poster.

    On Jellyfin
    It finds movies fine, but displays them in a funny order I assumed by year them alphabetically 

    i can add screen shots if that is allowed.

    You can have multiple libraries of the same type. So, for example, you could set up three different Show libraries: 
    TV Shows
    Anime
    Cartoons

    Also, each library can have multiple paths. Each path should be its own subdirectory and can't be nested. Ex:

    TV Shows:
    \media\Scary Shows\
    \media\Drama Shows\
    \media\Comedy Shows\

    No: (nested)
    \media\
    \media\Scary Shows\

    The folder structure should follow this layout: 

    Code:
    Scary Shows
    ├── Series Name A (2010)
    │  ├── Season 00
    │  │  ├── Some Special.mkv
    │  │  ├── Series Name A S00E01.mkv
    │  │  └── Series Name A S00E02.mkv
    │  ├── Season 01
    │  │  ├── Series Name A S01E01-E02.mkv
    │  │  ├── Series Name A S01E03.mkv
    │  │  └── Series Name A S01E04.mkv
    │  └── Season 02
    │      ├── Series Name A S02E01.mkv
    │      ├── Series Name A S02E02.mkv
    │      ├── Series Name A S02E03 Part 1.mkv
    │      └── Series Name A S02E03 Part 2.mkv
    └── Series Name B (2018)
        ├── Season 01
        |  ├── Series Name B S01E01.mkv
        |  └── Series Name B S01E02.mkv
        └── Season 02
            ├── Series Name B S02E01-E02.mkv
            └── Series Name B S02E03.mkv
