sub folder of tv group not recognized as a sub folder

[RussMcFall 0]

I have a folder named \TV.  Under that folder there are Television shows.  There are a couple of folders with names like \TV\FAMILY and \TV\WESTERNS.  Under these folder are television show of that nature.  Emby does not recognize these as being only a folder.   It did prior to yesterday.  No the television shows in this sub folder are not found.  Is there a setting to flag a sub folder as just that, a sub folder?

Thank  you

Hi there,

what exactly is the issue, as it is hard to surmise from that description alone? Could you provide some more details?

The television shows within the sub folder are not recognized as television shows.  The sub folder name, for example of \TV\WESTERN, which contains a large number of western tv name folders.  Emby takes the folder name as an unknown television show and and groups ALL the sub folders and shows as one giant television show.  The details are lost.  The actual individual tv shows are not found or shown.

Thank you

Russ

Yeah, when you mix simple and complex folder structure you might expect results like that, the simpler you keep it less likely you'll encounter issues. My advice would be to pull those multi-show subfolders out of your parent TV Shows folder and and them separately as additional library paths.

It appears the when i placed one documentary tv show in the root folder of \TV\WESTERN, it confused emby and made it think the entire folder and sub folders were part of a series.  I remove the one video and copied everything else to a new folder.  Then did the "scan library files".  That put everything back to where it should be.

Case closed.

Thanks
