Merge multiple media folders

[coryrichter94 0]

Hello I am a new user and wondering if there is a way to hide the different folder paths and just display all of the movies combined

Hi.  Yes, this is how the system works.

 

You would just setup a single library of type "Movies" and then add all your folder paths to that library.

@@ebr I just tried this and ended up with two displays for Movies vs the the two server folders combined under a single Movie display via Emby Theatre for Windows. Has something changed (hope not)?

@@Luke I already have a "Movie" library with a folder path: \\WHS-JGC\Movies. I tried adding another folder (see attachments) with the same "Movie" library using this path: \\WHS-JGC\Kids Movies 1

 

Now, under Emby Theatre for Windows I see two "Movie" entries; one for "Movies" and one for "Kids Movies", but I was hoping to see ALL movies under one single "Movie" library.

 

Is this possible. If so, I can I achieve this?  Thank you

I am a little confused on the screenshot above has no folders listed.

 

example

 

 

This created one entry point for both folders and Movie tab shows each item from both folders.

 

You may need to provide more screenshots to show your issue.

I tried to create two separate folder entries to the same library (Movies). Once I removed the initial entry and rebuilt it adding two folders under the same "Movies" library, it worked as expected. Thank you.
