Any way to get Emby to ignore a parent folder?

[JoshWP 3]

Howdy. In my server's file system I've got a folder and sub-folders listed like this:

 

Which is great because it helps me keep all the MCU stuff organized. Now the problem is that within Emby, the above series aren't listed as independent shows, but instead are treated as seasons of a show called MCU:



I can't figure out why it's doing this. Is there a way to get Emby to display the shows within the MCU folder as their own series while ignoring the MCU folder itself?

Thanks!

How are your files named and organized? What library type it is and what is it's path? 

Edit: In particular, how does Marvel's What If filefolder structure/naming look like?

Thanks for the reply. I'm using TheTVDB's standard formatting, so:



Server is running TrueNAS, files accessible through a Windows SMB share. Library type is "TV Shows"
Example file path is Z:\!Media\TV\MCU\Marvel's What If\Marvel's What If - S01E01 - Captain Carter Were The First Avenger.mkv

Based on your screenshots, wild guess would be that either Marvel's What If, Moon Knight or Ms. Marvel is causing issues. Though technically season folder-less structure should (and it usually does) work, occasionally it throws parser off. Ťry creating Season 1 subfolder in each of those 3 shows, move all season 1 episodes into it, delete any existing NFOs (if saved with media), scan media library afterwards.

Awesome, this seemed to do the trick, thanks very much!
