TV Shows

Hello, I'm new to Emby, and I really like it. I am having a a bit of a problem with TV shows function. I have 52 individual series with multiple episodes in each folder. When I open a particular series to start watching, all 52 series one episode one are displayed in the drop down box. Then I have to scroll down the list until I find the episode I want to watch. Is there a way to get around this and just show the episodes that pertain to the particular show I want to watch. Thank you

How are your files named and organized?

I have them under the tv shows option. The shows are located on a portable hard drive. The shows are located in individual folders  with the season number then episode number  then name of show in each individual folder. Example:  folder for show 1883. Then in that folder will be S01E01 then name of the episode following

Screenshots are always helpful in these cases, as a picture is worth a thousand words and it typically helps avoiding misunderstandings, as it often happens that what one says is not what another hears. So if you could post a screenshot of your TV show root folder would be awesome. 

In certain scenarios, number-titled shows can confuse parser, hence the baseline/initial condition needs to be established and correct filefolder structure/naming to be clear to offer some insight/troubleshoot, else its all guesswork only.
