hi,

i have two separate HDD drives that Emby is using, drive N and drive D.

in each of those drives there are copy subfolder. eventfully in the Emby client platform, i would like to have one single folder, for example "movies"

in the following screenshot i present the "Movies" collection folder which is working good and everything under the same folder:

movies folder:

however in other "kids movies" folder for some reason it's split into two separate folders.

in the following screenshot you can see the configuration of the kids folder

the split:

what am i missing here? how to configure the "kids movies" folders to be under one single folder as the "movies" folder?

 

thanks in advance

If you have single library media in two folders, the folders view will always show each folder separately. You can add a folder image by to the Kids-2 folder, if you like.  You could also change the names and make one animation and the other adventure, or whatever.   If you don't like that view, then change the default tab view to movies..  Both folders will be combined in the movies tab view.

so, because it's not named "movies" that is why it's not combine? because the folder "Movies" that i show first also have separate folders paths, but they are all present under "movies" folder

No, it has nothing to do with the name, it's based on what he said above. Folder view shows both layers. This topic has come up before though, so I expect at some point we'll provide the ability control this.

but i do not understand why it's working on the "movies" folder? having two different sources from two different hdd, but it does show in emby, only one single folder
