View Libraries as they are stored: by Folders

[vbrille 0]

The folder structure view is not only a music issue but a general issue: it doesn't work for movies, videos, pictures etc...

I spent hours trying to get it working (should be a very basic feature...) but no chance... Emby is always interpreting folders/files as it wants... it changes folders names, files names, it also moves files from a folder to another, some files are missing... So really I wonder how someone can use it as a video library...

Hopefully they will take into account this request and have it working soon...

in user preferences you can enable "show a Folder view". then it will add a Folders menu to your user views and you can see that plain structure.

Do you know this is not working at all? I have only few videos but Emby is always like interpreting folders/files as it wants... it changes folders names, files names, it also moves files from a folder to another, some files are missing... So this folder view doesn't work...

Hopefully they will have it working soon... 

edit: I just saw its an 11yo issue... still not fixed... So i guess I will have to search for another DNLA servers...

Hello!

Here is one example: I have a structure like this on my HD:

On the Emby client, I have this:

In this case, only the first and last files are shown...

I thought it could be a problem with the files, but if I copy them to the root directory, I can see seem on Emby under the root directory as it should be...

Also if I rename the directory from "Danse Avec les Stars" to "Danse Avec les Stars S15" then on Emby it appear as "Danse.Avec.les.Stars"...

and there are a lot of example like this...
