Why do it as music videos? Why not mixed? Try a test library as 'mixed movies and shows' and see if that gives you what you expect. That is what I use with all my home/personal videos.

Because the music videos library does not pull metadata from online DBs and simply shows the folder and file structure.

As for the OPs question.  I will do some testing when I get home.

Here's a kludge I use myself for personal videos that I want accessible to users without necessarily giving them access to my personal videos folder. Should work for your use case - just depends on how OCD you might be

-Create a new folder in the TV Shows library (because TV shows have Seasons), name it whatever you want, that's now your 'Main' folder
-Create as many 'Seasons' folders under that for each of those subcategories you have, again naming them whatever you want, those are now your 'Drone' etc folders, and each video under that will be an Episode
-The metadata scan will of course not find any matches, so it'll just add them to the Library with their raw filenames
-Edit the Metadata for that 'TV Show' to whatever you want - same goes for the individual Season and episode metadata (if you want to bother)
-And you're done, those are now available in your TV Shows library with each Season being those separate folders

Of course you don't have to use your existing TV Shows library, you can simply create/add a new TV Shows library and use that.

Ok. I re-read your post. So you want to keep your files organized the way they are, but you don't want Jellyfin to show the folders. You just want all your videos at the top of the library, correct?

If I got that right, you will need to add each sub-folder in the "Main" folder in the library's config instead of just point the library at the "Main" folder.
