Metadata Manager & Sub-Folder Group Shows

[austie 4]

Is anyone able to advise me on how I can do this with the latest release of Emby Server?

 

"It's also possible to have a sub-folder group multiple shows together in an otherwise normal directory structure. Use the metadata manager to change the content type of the sub-folder to TV.
 \TV --- content type TV
     \TV show 1
       \Season 1
     \Star Trek  --- change content type to TV using metadata manager
       \Star Trek
          \Season 1
       \Star Trek: The next Generation
          \Season 1"

 

I've created a folder that I want to change the content type to TV as it says above so that I can then move all the other shows under but I can not for the life of me work it out. I've checked the forums and  even after checking the wiki I still couldn't find anything that would help me to do this.

Any help is greatly appreciated

I am not sure you can do that with the metadata manager.

 

Do you have an existing  Emby installation and are wanting to modify existing library folder structure?

Note this does not give you a sub-folder view.

Happy2Play, how to I enter the code manually?

I've not messed with the metadata much other than a few identifies etc.

Do I need a 3rd party application to edit the details and if so any suggestions?

 

And when you say doesn't give you a sub-folder view do you mean as in within Emby itself?

My main reason for doing this is because I have multiple versions of series (take The Transformers for example) where they have all the different off shoots and it be nice to place the items in the folders in the back end, so that I don't have like Transformers X, Transformers Y, Transformers Z etc.

 

Same with Marvel stuff also they have so many shows these days.
